Akron is celebrating the 100th birthday of a historic stadium with ties to the city’s past in the rubber industry. Firestone Stadium was built in 1925 by the founder of Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Harvey S. Firestone, as a place for recreation for employees. Akron City Councilmember Donnie Kammer, whose ward includes Firestone Stadium, has many fond memories at the stadium, watching his dad, a Firestone employee, play softball with his coworkers.

Tuesday I had one of the most quintessential Akron nights I've ever had. I drove over the Cuyahoga River, spent 20 minutes in traffic on OH-8 due to construction on the Central Interchange, passed a community garden, zipped by the Akron Art Museum and the rubber worker statue, and parked in a University of Akron parking garage, where a student was selling tickets to the RubberDucks game down the block. Full Akron, already.

Akron Mayor Shammas Malik announced more steps to tackle gun violence and increase trust in policing during his 2025 State of the City address Tuesday at Lock 3 in Akron. Although shooting and homicides in the city are trending down, public safety is still a top priority, Malik said. This fall, the city will launch a hospital-linked violence interruption program to meet victims of gun violence in the hospital to interrupt cycles of violence, he said.

A Portage County resident is suing Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski over retaliation he says he's faced since creating a Facebook page about the sheriff last year. Will Lane of Newton Falls created "The Bad Bruce Exhibit" Facebook page in April 2024. He frequently posts about alleged corruption in the sheriff's office and campaigned for Zuchowski's opponent in the November election, as well as for other Democrats running for countywide seats.
