AKRON AWESOME

Back home visiting Mom for the week and thought I'd share some awesome-ness that Akron, Ohio has to offer. Above: Rotaynah, Tuscarora Indian word for 'chief', was sculpted by Peter Toth in 1985 out of a huge Red Oak. It weighs 17 tons and stands 36 feet tall in front of Akron's Fairlawn Elementary School. 
Below: Bronze statue of a Native American carrying his canoe. It's a monument to the original Portage Indian Trail which followed a section of the Cuyahoga Valley.
