Very shortly, I'll be coming up on my one year anniversary at work, which is in Akron. According to the entry for the city on Wikipedia [wikipedia.org], Akron is the 82nd largest city in the US.
Somehow, I have managed to work there for almost an entire year, and about the only streets that I have any knowledge of whatsoever are the ones that I use to get from the highway to the building I work in. It's sad.
Also, after an entire year of working there, I have eaten at a grand total of four restaurants in that city. Those four restaurants are:
- El Rincon [citysearch.com] - fantastic Mexican food, maybe the best I've ever had...
- Bricco [briccoakron.com] - yuppie-type restaurant, with bordering-on-unacceptably-slow service, but excellent food.
- Crave [eatdrinkcrave.com] - this whole place SCREAMS yuppie.
- House of Hunan [thehouseofhunan.com] - decent enough food, with sushi about as good as can be expected of a city this size.
I think that the moral of this story is that I really need to get out more. I'll be interested in checking out (Pretenders lead singer) Chrissie Hynde's new restaurant: VegeTerranean [ohio.com].
