North Hill’s wildest tales: Goombas, contests & community

North Hill’s Italian American community has a treasure trove of stories—some so wild you’ll wonder if they’re true! “The Goomba Chronicles” captures the heart and humor of growing up in Akron, from legendary eating contests to unforgettable neighborhood characters. The authors, all lifelong friends (aka goombas), share memories that feel like overheard conversations at DeVitis Italian Market. Whether you grew up in North Hill or just love a good tall tale, this book is a love letter to friendship and community. Anyone else have a goomba story that’s almost too good to be true? #Entertainment #Books #NorthHill
