We were driving through Akron, looking for Stricklands Frozen Custard when our view was suddenly blocked by a huge blue building. The shape was a give-away — it could only be an airship hanger. It turned out to be the most famous airship hanger, built in 1929 by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation and used to build airships until 1960.
It’s 1,175 feet long and 325 feet wide — enough space for eight football fields side-by-side.
It’s not open to the public, but we drove around the field until we found a good vantage point.
