Run down the apparitions that float about Rubber City streets and fa�ades like the shadow of a passing blimp. Stroll along forgotten canals amid the restless chatter and clank of spirits cut down before their hard lives became easier. Catch a show at the Civic Theater with a �former� engineer who prophesied that death wouldn�t keep him from work. A more restive spirit is that of John Tedrow; a twenty-something mauled and murdered during a drunken brawl in 1882; he wails for help and resolution. In this ghostly tour through Akron�s haunted and sometimes brutal past; paranormal specialist and historian Jeri Holland digs into the ghost tales and local legends that linger here like this city�s industrial heritage.

Those were as Dressed alluded to;racially charged times. Tim and Tom came to TTHS and did a show for the entire student body. Their messages were well receivedI went to high school in Harvey from 1968-1972 and Tom Dreesens description of the times was spot on;as was his description of the city and the characters found there. It was a pleasure to finally read his story and success. I only saw him and Tim in person once; and that was at our alma mater; Thornton Township High School; when they did their act for the student body. The book was a real pleasure to read. Factual; funny and entertaining from cover to cover.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerGREAT0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Show Biz TriumphBy mike6This is a terrific tale of how two men formed a comedy team; did well; but had to break up due to career pressures and personalchanges. I loved every page; and both men have had great careers in the entertainment world. Tim Reid and Tom Dreesen are well respected and accomplished comics. If you love a great show biz story; read this. Well worth your time!
