"They don't call the cities due south of Cleveland "Little WV" for nothing."
Back when Akron had the tire companies, they used to teach the 3 R's in W.Va. schools:
Readin'
Ritin'
and the Road to Akron.

LOL. I know. I have family there. That was the 50s.
Another contingent arrived when Charleston Newspapers booted everybody (union problems...it was a vicious strike).
A bunch of those guys wound up in Akron too. That was early 70s.
But with the early 80s, we began to get real smart and follow the sun. We discovered that I-77 went south too...so we now have the Hillbilly Highway to Charlotte...not north to Akron.
