Shorty Comments November Here Already Weather Worries
Shorty notes November arriving and two months left in 1977 as winter forecasts warn of a cold Midwest season with blizzards. Home insulation and furnace maintenance are advised amid rising heating costs. Akron intersections are hazardous due to curb parking, prompting calls for cautious driving and stricter enforcement. The Akron Register building shows signs of structural sinking and aging, with doors sticking and floor settling. Hard hats are joked about as the old building “gets tired of its existence.”
