On The Table Takes On Community Issues; Akron's Tent City; Paddleboarding The Cuyahoga

Thousands of Akronites once came together to discuss issues and share a meal, just as thousands of Clevelanders will do this weekend.

As the city of Akron tries to figure out how to manage a "tent city", we'll meet some of its residents -- a community inhabited and operated by "un-housed" individuals.

If you've been down by the Cuyahoga River lately, you've probably noticed a flurry of recreational activity happening on the waterway. This weekend will be no different, as the river plays host to its first ever standup paddleboard race.
