The Rubber Capital of the world, former Bowling Capital of the world and at one point the Marble Capital as well. The first city to ever use police cars and the home of the All American Soap Box Derby. Also, Alocholics Annomyous was founded in Akron and the first ever meeting was held in Stan Hywett Hall, home of the Seiberling family (founders of Goodyear). As well as being the home of LeBron James its the meth capital of the US with over 200 meth lab busts last year. Depending on where you live it can be a nice place to live. It is also known as the Rubber City.

Just thirty minutes south of Cleveland, Ohio. Home of Lebron James, a decent downdown, and credited for bringing a massive blackout to all of the eastern united states. Also home of route eight, the worst stretch of road in all the midwest.

Superior to its larger northern neighbor, Cleveland, in many ways. Best city in Ohio besides Columbus for economic growth, real estate, and entertainment.

Dirtiest ghetto shithole in the US.
Sometimes referred to as Crackron. The whole city smells of feces.

A city that sucks so bad that Alcoholics Anonymous had to be invented there, since the only way to cope with the ultimate lameness of it is to drink yourself to death.

Ted: Of course he did, he just moved to Akron, Ohio.
