Cuyahoga Falls Gorge Dam still flowing. Preparations are current to remove the dam. The trail with descending wooden steps is closed, and the final portion of the steps to reach the viewing platform have been removed. The best view is now  reached by a rough rocky path.

Barberton Mum Fest's theme this year was bees.

The mechanism to make this a floral clock is not there again but the display is good.

Zs are there for the buzz.

St. Thomas Hospital (Akron) operated from 1928 to 2023, was demolished in 2024.  Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine founded the hospital. In 1935, it was the first hospital that recognised alcoholism as a medical condition. Three outdoor statues from there are now in front of St. Vincent & Mary High School Akron. They are now so white, that they do not photograph well with my camera; the outline yes, details no.
