Blimp Pilot Terrorizes Akron: and Other Hot Air from Columnist Bob Dyer of the Akron Beacon Journal 1. izdevums

Here?s Akron, with attitude. A giant cockroach, ticket-happy traffic cops, sexting teens, bumbling politicians, prima donna sports stars . . . There are few topics that Akron Beacon Journal columnist Bob Dyer hasn?t tackled head-on. His biting commentary has earned him followers and foes alike?along with a boatload of awards. In this collection of his best writing, Dyer nearly crashes the Goodyear blimp, drag races in a ?64 Plymouth Barracuda, drives a 126-ton locomotive, panhandles on a downtown street corner, surveys the ?Great Wall of Fairlawn,? dispenses unsolicited advice to LeBron James, and generally waves a red flag at political correctness. Great fun to read?as long as you?re not overly sensitive!
