Found a new one while watching "Behind the Attraction" on Disney+. 29 minutes in to episode 9, they reveal that the first visitors to Walt Disney World on the monorail were from Akron Ohio, which the Disney company found perfect as they thought it to be right in the middle of things.

I watch this one particular show over and over again because as a coach, I just like the structure of how everyone has a role and if you try doing someone else's role, it normally doesn't end very well 😂 Akron is mentioned a few times, especially in the last season of the series. Here is one scene that mentions Akron from Season 7 Episode 3 called "Message of the Week" in the series, West Wing. Akron reference in S7 E3 of the West Wing

American Rust, new show on ShowTime. The story focuses on Buell, Pennsylvania, a dying steel town. Jobs are disappearing, methadone use is increasing, and home foreclosures are rising. One of the characters continues to live in this town instead of taking a "Div I" scholarship. It is referenced multiple times in the first three episodes..."not sure why you just don't take that Div I scholarship Billy" It's mentioned so much, I started repeating it to my wife as we were watching it. Finally, one of the characters says "yeah Billy, you should have just went to Akron" BTW, If you liked Mare of Easttown (dumb name for a show), you will probably like American Rust. Similar storyline, cinematography, backing music, etc.
