Portage County • May 27, 2025
Good morning, Portage County. The thunderous chords of AC/DC will echo through Cleveland tomorrow night, and concertgoers can leave their parking worries behind. The RTA is rolling out special Waterfront Line service directly to Huntington Bank Field, with $5 all-day passes covering your round-trip rock journey. Just hop on any colored line to Tower City, transfer to the Waterfront Line starting at 4 p.m., and you'll be ready to shake all night long without the headache of downtown parking.
Innovation takes flight with the new Fly-n-Eat app, connecting pilots with local airport dining across the country. Meanwhile, theatrical tradition soars as Weathervane Playhouse celebrates 90 years of its iconic rooster logo. The chanticleer symbol has followed the Akron community theater through three locations since 1935, now playfully hidden in every production set—a whimsical Easter egg that continues to rule the roost after nearly a century of curtain calls.

🎸 AC/DC fans can rock their way to the concert via RTA trains. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is offering special Waterfront Line service for Wednesday's AC/DC concert at Huntington Bank Field. Fans can take Red, Blue, or Green Lines to Tower City Station, then transfer to the Waterfront Line which stops directly at the stadium. The first train departs at 4 p.m., with service continuing until crowds disperse after the show. A $5 all-day pass covers round-trip travel, with free parking available at RTA stations throughout the system.
✈️ Pilots can now find airport restaurants with a single app. Rick and Vikki Rzepka launched Fly-n-Eat, connecting pilots with on-site dining options at regional airports across the continental United States. The app features over 340 restaurants, providing details like airport location, hours, menus, and the ability to search within specific nautical mile ranges. These aren't chain restaurants but local diners that even non-pilots frequent, perfect for day-tripping aviators looking for a good meal. Available for $4.99 monthly or $49.99 annually, the couple plans to expand beyond restaurants to include hiking trails, ski areas, and museums near airports.
🐓 A rooster logo became Weathervane Playhouse's iconic symbol 90 years ago. The Akron community theater, founded in 1935, got its name from a weathervane with a rooster decoration atop its original "Barn" location in Highland Square. Though the theater has moved twice since then—to Copley Road in 1951 and finally to Merriman Valley in 1970—the chanticleer logo has remained, evolving in design while staying true to its origins. The playhouse creatively incorporates the rooster into every production set as a hidden Easter egg, and even names its annual volunteer recognition as the Chanticleer Awards.
