Your small town has a TV show. Akron actually made it happen.
Season 7 • Episode 8
LatestHost Blue Green meets up with Tom Ghinder to learn all about the Akron Promise City Series Neighborhood Races. Then it’s off to downtown to Cilantro to eat some Thai and Sushi. After dinner, it’s next door to the Akron Axe House to learn how to throw an Axe. To wrap things up, Blue talks with Shammas Malik, Akron’s next Presumptive Mayor.
This monthly half-hour series is the work of Akron producer Blue Green, who says, “The goal of the show is to shine a spotlight on all of the good things that Akron has to offer.” Green noted that the city of Akron is a wonderful place in which to live, work, stay and play, but he feels “to truly be a great city, we need our own Akron-based news and local television programming.” Each show consists of four stories, including segments on dining, arts and culture, history, business, and movers and shakers.
