Jericho S. Ballard head of maintenance and street repair how we wish you were still with us.

Downtown Akron isn't there anymore. The buildings are all half demolished and the streets are all half rubble.

The people who live there look at their cell phone when you try to talk to them and Domino's pizza delivers product to 100,000 hot spot locations but no homes since everybody rents or stays temporarily with casual acquaintances.

When will the mayor's office reopen Akron U college and who will decorate Christmas the downtown windows at Polsky's and M. Oneil's Department stores now that you are gone to heaven Jericho S. Ballard?[1]

[1] John S. Ballard was mayor of Akron in the halcyon days of our youth
