Abandoned - Rubber Bowl Stadium
Use code BRIGHTSUN at the link below to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: incogni.com/brightsun
Since the late 1930's, a home grown stadium in Akron Ohio has played host for thousands of events. From football games of all kinds to major concerts from music legends, the 40,000 seat Rubber Bowl was something of legend. For over 70 years it sat as an iconic local event venue, one however that would ultimately close and sit abandoned. Join me today as I find out why this iconic sports facility ultimately sat abandoned and what ended up happening to it.

    Pier 1 in my are finally closed it's remaining stores. I used to like their products. They use to be decent quality then tapered off over the years. Over the years I noticed their quality quickly declined and sold out for profit. I'd rather pay more for quality than cheap and cr--apy items that don't even last 6 months. Many pottery things I bought from them chipped easily and other items looked tattered quickly. I sort of stopped participating them.

    I was a little girl when my parents took me to Disneyland in the early 1960s. Out of all the rides it is this ride that I remember. Sad that this ride is no more at either Disney Park in the US. I was lucky I got to ride this multiple times as my parents took me twice to Disneyland all the way from Texas. I never road this ride in Disneyworld as I was much older by the time Disneyworld was built.

    I am a researcher and lecturer at a big university in the mechanical engineering department. I used to joke to my colleagues and tell them not to take students for a thesis who previously participated in any of these "hyperloop" contest programs, since the inability to instantly dismiss this moronic idea was a testament to poor engineering skills. (Jokes aside, obviously they had many great students and the programs were nice platforms to practice all kinds of skills etc. I was still a little disappointed that the organizers at my university, who are the ones truly accountable, decided to participate in this embarrassment. It was probably just easy to get funds ...)

    It was an ambitious project that worked but was overwhelmed by costly maintenance issues. Water is the huge factor here. Just like how the original Jaws movie had issues because of the natural water and the robotic shark. Japan was smart. Give the illusion of under water without actually being under water.

    I don't buy the Amazon and Walmart excuse. They completely shifted away from the products that their customer base wanted. They wrongly thought that they could make a fortune on computers and cellphones. If they came back with their original lineup of products, possibly with computers and cellphones on the side, I think they would thrive. There are millions of people in the US who would love to have a true electronics superstore again.
