Signal Akron is keeping community engagement alive with a fresh weekly photo quiz. This week’s challenge asks readers to identify the body of water that supplies the city’s primary drinking water. The quiz is designed to test local knowledge, celebrate Akron’s landmarks, and strengthen the bond between the newsroom and its readers.
How the quiz works
Each Monday the newsroom posts a photo of a recognizable local feature and invites readers to submit their answer via the comment section. Correct answers are entered into a draw for a shout‑out in the following week’s newsletter. The quiz is free, open to anyone who follows Signal Akron online, and serves as a fun way to learn more about the city’s geography and infrastructure.
