Akron
About 190,000 people.
Akron is a city in northeast Ohio that was once the rubber and tire capital of the world. Today it is a friendly place full of parks and inventive history.
You can zoom down a hill at the Soap Box Derby, explore the giant Stan Hywet Hall mansion, or splash around in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley nearby.
