Price's book is an easy, nostalgic read that will remind long-time residents of the area's rich history and introduce newcomers to some of the places that helped develop Akron's quirky vernacular...The best thing about the book, though, is how it will change the way you see the city. Instead of just seeing what's there, Price's stories will help you see what used to be here and imagine what is yet to come. -- (06/14/2018)
