Since many, make that a few people tell author his writing is confusing this is not really about Lebron James leaving Akron for greener pastures in Los Angles California instead it is about author's oldest son recently getting married and moving to California.

Here is the confusing part.When Dante the Italian poet wrote about his not to secret love Beatrice sometimes to keep her identity secret from the world he would address his poems to another beautiful woman in Florence, Italy who he called his stage beloved. So for now Lebron James will be my stage son for a few hours and I will address a few lines to him about the small tired little City he left behind.

Mostly empty buses still run toward downtown despite the street repairs down that way and cars on the expressway driven by folks from the suburbs still drive very fast to avoid the downtown that is unless they are headed  to Quaker square which is dark and quiet but still a good place to find an excellent divorce lawyer.

The housing resale market here continues to lag although property taxes are rising steadily. A big housing project is planned in Akron at Gunther school where this author successfully matriculated.

Grand children are fine. Young kids still ride around on bikes donated by Lebron James.

Life goes on even though our hometown favorite took the last train for the coast.
