The Year That Changed Akron

1984. The year LeBron James was born, right here in Akron, Ohio.

Step inside, and you feel like you’re back in young LeBron’s bedroom. Surrounded by the sounds and iconic memories of that historic year, “Just a Kid from Akron” comes to life in a multi-sensory experience.

The walls are covered in posters from 1984. A Goodyear tire ashtray nods to the Rubber City. Stretch Armstrong figures sit next to a stack of playable vintage board games. The record player has Thriller cued up. And the tray tables? … They came straight from LeBron’s actual house in Bath Township. (Don’t worry, he got new ones.)

Play the Atari. Try the Pong reboot. Throw on a record. Or catch a game on the vintage TV. This VIP room was built for the ultimate hang out.

Enjoy complimentary nostalgic small bites, like Sloppy Joes and Hot Pockets made from scratch, and top it off with a slice of fruity pebble pie inspired by LeBron’s favorite childhood cereal.

1984 was designed to capture memories and create new ones. Whatever you make of it, the space is yours.
