The City of Akron will demolish the Akron Rubber Bowl this month. The Rubber Bowl was the U of Akron stadium when I was in college at Kent State. It was a WPA project. Sad day but it's a junk heap now.

Note: To the left of the first little photo is the Soap Box Derby Track.

The Columbus Dispatch had a big story about this the other day. An icon is gone. :sad:
