On the cover, you'll see the Hotlunches, a couple of Akron-based artists/wrestlers who are helping kick-off the Art Wrestling League here. Inside, you'll find longer narrative pieces like the profile on Brian Harrell; M. Sophie Franchi's account about how she kicked her heroin addiction; and a look inside the Akron Municipal Recovery Court where addicts find help and hope. There's lots of fun stuff too, like an interview with LA-based Akron native standup Rhea Butcher; review of Time Cat's new album, an introduction to the music of Kudzi; the best new new restaurant you haven't heard of yet; how Akron's Nuevo is poised to conquer Cleveland's city shoreline; plus ample local history, a call for the state government to act against dating violence and for the governor to establish a joint committee to tackle the opiate epidemic. And, as always, our ace bathroom reviewers give you the lowdown on the best loos in town.
