Lack Of Funds Grounds Feds' Eye In The Sky

摘要

Akron, ohio, is a little town about 30 miles southeast of Cleveland. Akron is most famous for one thing: tires. During the middle years of the 20th century, Akron's factories pumped out a large percentage of the world's rubber tires. Today, Akron is a struggling Midwest rust belt community. Akron is famous for something else: blimps. A Goodyear blimp is a familiar sight floating above sporting events. One of the city's landmarks is a giant hangar, 1,175 feet long and 211 feet (22 stories) high, that the Goodyear company built in 1929 to house its fleet of blimps.
