149 Palmer Street, Akron, Ohio recalls the heyday of growing up in Akron, Ohio, the largest rubber manufacturing center in the world. The book reflects upon a loving family, relatives and friends and the sights, sounds and sweet smell of "the bakery," the wafting fragrance of beer brewing at Burkhardt's Brewery, and that ever-present scent of rubber that we all took for granted. "What's that smell?" a visitor would ask. It was just there. The wonderful friends and classmates made Akron, Ohio, a time to fondly remember.
