Chicken, Weed, and Construction: Welcome to Akron Podcast

Published on March 27, 2026

Today, we’re diving into the delightful world of chicken and weed, because apparently, that’s what everyone is talking about.

Seriously, who knew these two would become such a hot topic? We also have updates on the towpath, the Inner Belt, and the not-so-welcome news about a recent shooting.

It’s not just the chicken that’s getting fried around here. Plus, we’ll touch on some mixed feelings about new regulations on marijuana use in Ohio and the ongoing construction chaos that will make your daily commute feel like a scavenger hunt.

So, buckle up as we navigate through the absurdity of local news and maybe even find a silver lining or two.

Takeaways:

In Ohio, new restrictions on recreational marijuana are now in effect, making the laws stricter than before.

The construction delays on I-77 will be a headache for drivers in Akron for years to come.

LeBron James is opening a restaurant called Buckets, which opens on April Fool's Day - very clever marketing!

Akron's inner belt is undergoing a long-term transformation, aiming to reconnect neighborhoods, but don't hold your breath.

The Healthy Steps walking program in Akron encourages people to log steps, with prizes, because who doesn't love competition?

A security guard was shot again in Akron, highlighting a worrying trend of violence after club ejections.
