An Akron developer bought the former Central-Hower High School this summer with a new use in mind. For this week’s photo quiz, we’re stepping inside the closed school and asking what could come next.
Our photo quizzes go beyond recognizing a building or naming a neighborhood — they’re about knowing the stories behind the places around you. If you’ve been following our coverage, you might have a head start on this one.
But first, congratulations to the Akronites who answered last week’s question correctly: Amy H., Annie B., Barb E., Craig F., Cynthia B., David K., Dawn R., Deborah C., DK L., Frederica C., Horace G., Jane C., Jean B., Jim M., Joan M., Joanna J., John M., Joseph V., Karen H., Kathy S., Keith G., Kimberly O., Kimberly H., Laureen M., Leovina C., Leslie S., Liz J., Lori S., Marie C., Marilyn M., Mark B., Marlon D., Marty H., Mike D., Nancy R., Nancy B., Patrick C., Peggy M., Regina H., Sally E., Sarah V., Shari S., Sharon C., Sheryl K., Steve J., Susan R., Tweila-Rochelle C. and Walter Z.
Now it’s your turn. Take a look at the photo below and show us what you know.
Ready. Set. Quiz.
