From Akron & Beyond Podcast

Rock ‘n’ Roll drummer turned entrepreneur, Danny Basone has for years been a major player in downtown Akron.  There was The Lime Spider, a club which featured both National and local bands, and has become legendary for many great shows.  Then, the Lockview, which remains one of best bars and restaurants in town. And now, he’s opened United States Potato Service, a truly unique new eatery.

Maybe you know him from his radio show/podcast REVOLT INTO STYLE. Or from his bands Rainy Day Saints, Death of Samantha, or currently Dave Swanson’s Mystery Airship….

Nick and Bob chat with Kenny Lambert, whose journey from addiction through recovery has resulted in his becoming an in-demand clothing designer, starting his Just A Dad From Akron business in Kenmore, and being a respected community leader. His commitment to helping others - and how he got there, is a truly inspiring story, and we go deep in this episode.

For over 30 years, Kenmore Komics and Games has been a fixture in Kenmore, and a destination for comics fans from all over Northeast Ohio.  John Buntin is the person behind the magic. 

“Influences & Inspirations, Part 1”

So, one evening, Nick is watching “Restoration Road”, a home rehab TV show. And there he sees host Clint Harp interviewing Tim Franklin, whose local company is rehabbing an 1884 historic Akron mansion, right near downtown!
