Good morning, Summit County. All aboard the flavor express! History and hops are joining forces as Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad partners with HiHO Brewing to launch "Ride Like the Wind," a blonde lager with purpose. Each pint pulled helps preserve a piece of American heritage – the California Zephyr Silver Line railcars – making this possibly the most satisfying way to support historic preservation in Northeast Ohio.
Meanwhile, fortune has smiled on two local lottery players, with one Akron resident scoring a whopping $2 million Powerball prize from a Circle K ticket. As developers eye the vacant former Akron Public Schools Headquarters for revitalization, the 1916 downtown landmark awaits its next chapter. The city is accepting proposals through September 11, hoping to breathe new life into this historic Broadway Street building while contributing to downtown's ongoing renaissance.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🍺 Local brewery and historic railroad create beer to save vintage trains. Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad partnered with HiHO Brewing Co. to launch "Ride Like the Wind," a blonde lager that supports railroad preservation. Every purchase helps restore the California Zephyr Silver Line, a collection of America's iconic vintage railcars. Named after the Greek god of the west wind, the beer celebrates motion and timeless travel while honoring Northeast Ohio's heritage. The special brew is available at HiHO Brewing in Cuyahoga Falls and aboard CVSR trains.
💰 Lucky Akron player strikes Powerball gold with $2 million win. The winning ticket, purchased at a Circle K on South Arlington Road, matched five numbers and included the Powerplay option that doubled the prize. The Ohio Lottery announced the winner has 180 days to claim their newfound fortune. Meanwhile, another Summit County resident won $50,000 from a ticket bought at a MAPCO store in Fairlawn. With no jackpot winner, Saturday's Powerball drawing has climbed to an eye-popping $950 million.
🏙️ Akron seeks new life for historic downtown school building. The city is soliciting proposals to redevelop the former Akron Public Schools Headquarters at 70 N. Broadway St., with applications due September 11. Officials are prioritizing adaptive reuse of the 1916 structure, which has been vacant since 2019. Developers must purchase the property "as is" and begin redevelopment within 90 days of transfer. The city hopes this project will contribute to downtown Akron's revitalization while preserving a prominent historic asset.
