I started out this year with a monthly theme for the blog. I got away from that last month with my vacation, unless you consider vacation that month’s theme. This month I want to get back to posting on a theme, so this month is My Ohio. Taking a look at my extended neighborhood and what my home state has to offer.
A few years ago Lori came out to visit. We were driving down the highway that skirts downtown Akron. Firestone is on one side and Goodyear is on the other. I made the comment to Lori that Akron is the rubber capital of the world. She started giggling uncontrollably. Not that kind of rubber!
Stan Hywett Hall is the home of the Sieberling family the founders of goodyear. Sadly the Firestone mansion is now an office building. So glad this magnificent home has been preserved.
love the windows….looks like a fun place to explore!!!
