    Interesting article.

    The competition, founded in 1987, attracted more than 2,600 entries from 402 breweries in 26 countries. Judging was blind. (Here’s the list by category.)

    Hoppin’ Frog Brewery is at 1680 East Waterloo Road, Akron.

     We met Fred many years ago when there was a chain of thirsty dog brewpubs and he was the brewmaster for all of them. There was some financial mismanagement and the chain went down that he bought a bunch of the brewing equipment and carried on as the hoppin frog. Thirsty dog has revived itself in Akron.

     His specialty is double and triple strength starts strong ales and even a burly wine. He prefers not to make the Northwestern IPA style that I really like.

    No word yet on the $515M powerball winning ticket in Pennsylvania.  Since they publish your name there some get a lawyer and set up a trust to protect yourself, smart move. And always sign the ticket in ink immediately in black ink and store it in a safe place. Tell nobody !

    Meanwhile in Ohio and what NOT to do in Florida.........

    Even after matching all six numbers, I was in disbelief and took my ticket to a retailer to have it checked,” Thomas Yi said. “The clerk at the counter instantly became excited and kept repeating that I had won the $235 million Powerball jackpot. I knew then that this would be life changing.”

    The Akron Rd.  Speedway  is  only about a mile away from my house.

    I remember when the lottery first started in the 70's.  The jackpot was much smaller then.  I came within one number of winning one million.

    My father in law  got  5 of the 6 numbers.  With all 6 it would have been a minimum of  3 million.  As it was, I think he won  $1500.

    Oh yes I remember the Buckeye 300 with a grand prize of $300,000 a big deal back then.

    The current race between the mega millions and the powerball is now designed to hit ? a $1 Billion and it has done that.  Money.

    I was wondering if that was in your neighborhood, nice little jackpot $163,000 or about $112,470 after withholding (+/-).   Not bad for $1.

  • My favorite thing about the state of Ohio are the plethora of parks and nature reserves we have... I'm an avid Hiker.. So I enjoy these Parks immensely. I'm heading down to Hocking Hills on the 12th.. I can't wait!...

  • I grew up on W. 47th St. between Storer Ave. and Dennison Ave.  Brookside Park where they used to play minor league Baseball games, had a huge circular swimming pool, the black old coal powered train (not used, just the engine on display).    All right next to the Zoo.

    Brookside Park Swimming Pool - Cleveland West High

  •  ^ ^ ^ ^  --->   Was that in/near Parma,  my godparents lived there across from a elementary or junior high school  with a really steep driveway in front  And a very, very deep lot which ended up by a swimming pool/ recreation  area in back

    The pool fence ended on their property and we as kids could walk around it and go in......if we wanted to. 

    A super high hill which was great for sled riding.     Great times in Parma,  Ohio.
