Round and About Akron

Looking for things to do in Akron this weekend?

Homegrown Saturday at Lock 3 will feature more than the fabulous vegetables for sale:
This weekend we are having a sundial craft and orienteering challenge in thes prouts area. There is clay marble making with the museum. A super cool guy is coming down with his handmade game exhibit as well. Kids can play them too! They are each beautiful works of art.As always, the glorious Tom Dayton is broadcasting, $5 pancake breakfasts and delicious produce. One of the jam/jelly vendors is supposed to do a cooking demo as well.

If art is your thing, try the Northside Art Walk 5-10 pm. Trolleys transport walkers from site to site if they so feel the urge. You might want to start at the Red Light Galleries, so-named to honor its origins as a brothel. Climb up the stairs between Luigi's and The Northside Bar and you'll find yourself facing a long hallway, with tiny rooms along each side. Now instead of seedy mattresses, the rooms house artists who rent the spaces to work and to show their art. Pictured below is one such display.

So, according to a recent interview in Blender magazine, Pretender, Chrissie Hynde returned to her hometown in Ohio to open a vegan restaurant, protested on behalf of PETA and endangered local bus lines and suggested, "Look! See what can happen if you care enough to do something?!" Yet later in the same interview, she revealed her disgust for politics and made the prediction, "I like Obama, but he's not gonna win. Trust me, I know my people." Considering the election results from Ohio, maybe she doesn't know her "people" like she thinks she does. Hey Chrissie, see what can happen if you care enough to do something?
