While hosting the Everyday Akron Instagram account this week, I wanted to know what the community has learned from previous hosts. It could be their new favorite restaurant, a small business, a park, or even just a factoid they never knew. Most answers centered around food (Akronites love their local fare!), so no surprise there.
Find out what everyone said below. I included links so you can discover them too!
