🐟 Detour to dinner

Dev Test County • March 3, 2025

​

Good morning, Dev Test County. The orange barrels are multiplying faster than spring dandelions as SR 170's major reconstruction project kicks into high gear this week. With the southbound lane shutting down completely between E. Calla Road and Sycamore Drive and truck traffic blocked in both directions, local drivers might want to memorize those detour routes using SR 224, SR 7, and friends. The transportation department promises it'll all be worth it by late fall 2024, but until then, your GPS might need therapy.

On a more appetizing note, Lenten fish feasts are swimming into local restaurants across Akron for 2025. From Klein's Seafood's takeout dinners to the "Famous Fish Fry" at Boulevard Tavern, there's no shortage of meatless Friday options. Whether you're craving Ido Bar & Grill's signature lake perch or all-you-can-eat hake at Brimfield Family Restaurant, the religious season is serving up some seriously divine seafood options throughout the area.
