About Akron Empire

Akron Empire is our favorite places, people and events in Northeast Ohio.

This blog came about because Brit and Joanna wanted a platform to share their thoughts on their favorite places, people and events in their community.  You can expect to read about local stores, businesses, restaurants, bands, organizations and groups, happenings and events.


We won Best Blog/Podcast Award in the 2013 Best of City contest.
