Balsy 764 Report post Posted February 16, 2019 A recent Episode of Adam Ruins Everything from TruTV constantly references the City of Akron. -The "main character" of the episode says he's from Akron Ohio -They talk about how flights out of Akron always have connecting flights -Mention how Akron is the Blimp capital It was random when I watched the episode but enjoyed that it mentioned Akron all the same.

kreed5120 1,598 Report post Posted October 23, 2019 I was watching "The Boys" on Prime Video last week and noticed a reference to Akron. "Well (SIGHS) I mean, what about my crime itinerary? I think the best thing's just to, you know, get out there and put some points on the board." - The Deep "Not much crime in Sandusky. I mean, we're not a shithole like Akron." - Jeff 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zip-Grad '13 62 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Since we're stuck at home and watching a lot of stuff streaming; I found this guy on youtube who talks about different unique histories of plane engineering. Its a fun little educational diversion. This episode has a little segment about the USS Akron and the Akron-Class flying aircraft carriers that were made by the US Navy.

MDZip 495 Report post Posted April 15, 2020 Saw an old episode of Password (thanks Covid 😊) where the clue was Ohio and the contestant said Akron. Odd they didn't pick Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus but at least the partner got it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
