Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. Did anyone else catch the Black Keys playing in the background at the end?

Wow, that strikes close to home for me (well, not literally but you get the point). I feel like I understand some of the thoughts that must have been going through his mind when he decided to stick it out in Akron. He's a stronger man than I...and I mean that genuinely.

I don't really get that. There are pushing 4 million people around here, just about any amenity you can think of, and openings for most mainstream employment. I don't see what there is to stick out. I guess if you're looking for some niche employment or are looking to make $70,000 turning screws it may be an issue, but otherwise...
