Statued sign of spring: How the Miller Road lions in Akron have become a tradition like no other.
UPDATE: It is now officially spring. pic.twitter.com/RJ3v1NaLJFJimmy Salaheddine's parents own the well-known home on Miller Road. He's grown up with the statues as part of his life.
"This is actually the second set of lions because the first set of lions got deteriorated by the snow and the ice and all the salt that goes on the roads every year in the wintertime," Salaheddine said."When the big salt trucks from the city come by, they dump a lot of salt and there's big chunks that put chips in the statues and all also the salt sitting around deteriorates the base of them.
"It's funny. At first, it was odd and then it just turned into a thing. You have horns honking, you're waving to people," Salaheddine said."It's usual. It's normal. It's cool." "I remember [Salaheddine] reaching out to me and he said 'Listen, we got to give people something to smile about. Get on over here, let's unleash the lions,'" Hank said."So I popped on over and we went live, and that video got like 65,000 views and it was still when we were we were kind of growing still kind of little back then."
