Akron Zoo plans to spread its wings on leased land

You may be right, Gipper. But dat be road-kill country. Why go a-huntin fer supper when you kin come acrost it ready-served on Killian Road? (forgive my hillbilly-bonics) Now that you mention it, Pressler Road does kinda carry the smell of wet chicken.  (9 hrs ago | post #17)

Hobo union picks Akron for national convention

Grump called and asked if these are the same hobos who'll be holding the Olympic-type events at the County Fair Grounds in a year or two. I said I wasn't sure, but encouraged him to sign up as a rodeo clown. Watch your six, Grumpster.  (9 hrs ago | post #1)

Portage man free after 16 years

Which begs the question. Why not a personal glamor shot for your own avatar, May? Gotta be prettier than Scooter. No offense to Scooter.  (9 hrs ago | post #83)

Here is the Change Hope you liberals/ dumbdown electorate foisted upon America

Racist? From the amount of the help and the salaries, one just off the boat would presume that Mrs. O is a spoon-fed quadriplegic. Not that there's anything wrong with that.  (13 hrs ago | post #3)

Akron Zoo plans to spread its wings on leased land

The perception of Perkins Woods changed forever the day back in the mid 1960s when a hoodrat whose name escapes me (and does not deserve mention) executed an elderly couple walking through the park. Made them get on their knees and pray before he shot each of them point-blank in the head. Anybody else remember that? Then came the animal shootings that Woorking Poor mentioned. Not as bad as what has occurred from Memphis Avenue next to the Cleve Zoo. And Fought the Fight B4 is right on. The more they plow in that vicinity the better for the zoo and its visitors. I got so sick of having my kids and grandkids having to see and hear that porch trash along Rhodes Avenue for years & years. IMO the economically-feasi ble opportunity to move the zoo has long passed. Some prime JEDD land in Springfield (Pickle Road) or Coventry (Logan Field) would've been a nice relocation alternative 20 or 30 years ago. Purging the existing periphery now appears the practical thing.  (15 hrs ago | post #10)

COKIE ROBERTS ON "AMERICAN JUSTICE"....Wow!

A newbie would never guess she worked for NPR. Next time she comes to EJ Thomas, we should take her out to Nimisila. Lock & Load!  (Friday Nov 6 | post #2)

Also interesting that it was founded where, ironically, the mayor is a roaring drunk.  (Friday Nov 6 | post #31)

Humane Society to broadcast first live telethon

They should instead run a telethon for the Akron Police. Money for more manpower and firefower to take back our vermin-infested neighborhoods. I mean, since our further detatched & insulated 'leaders' won't.  (Thursday Nov 5 | post #1)

How 'bout plowing the entire Wild West Side of CrAkron for it? On second thought, no. All the degenerate vermin would scatter and further infect what's left of the city.  (Thursday Nov 5 | post #1)

"Buggery "? I thought that's what the sheriff charged Amish Al with when he ran over his third wife. Mebbe Mr. Vereen (any relation to Ben?) is visually impaired. As you mentioned, Ty, a ponytail on a robust rump can be a deceiving thing to a Mr. Magoo. Mebbe they better extend that restraining order to include Happy Ending stables in Deerfield. April & June better ditch their "tails" as well.  (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #8)

OHIO VETERANS THANK THE VOTERS FOR ISSUE #1....ALTHOUGH MayFong said no!

Thus about 208,000 Akronites likewise deserve a large bonus. Reparations for Sponge Don Damage. *** Voted YES, BTW.  (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #12)
