Visiting Akron
Akron, in case you don't know, is not the world's most tourist friendly place. Sure, we get visitors and tourists, but due to some "strange quirk" of personality, location, and weather, our fair city is quite reserved and conventional. Finding the good places to go, and things to see sometimes takes months of living here. We at AkronWiki aim to change that!

Other Guides
Compared to dedicated sites, a wiki sometimes makes a poor format for gathering, organizing, and presenting geography and guides. Here are worthy alternatives.
