Good morning, Akron.

The Akron Zoo opened its DinoTrek exhibit this weekend and it features 20 animatronic dinosaurs like the T-Rex, Apatosaurus, and Rugops—offering interactive moments where kids can learn how to train baby dinosaurs.

The exhibit is included with general admission and will run until Sept. 14.

ALDI will open its new Akron store at 1890 West Market St on May 22 at 8:30 a.m. and the first 100 shoppers will receive a gift bag + gift card offer as the chain takes over the former Essence Beauty Mart site after it moved next door.

A 52-year-old man died after being stabbed around 8 p.m. on the 1600 block of Cromwell Drive in Akron — police said the victim was taken to a hospital with critical injuries and the alleged attacker, known to him, fled the scene while authorities investigated the incident.

The drug-resistant fungus Candida auris has been found in 17 states and is now closely tracked as health experts work to calm its spread.

In Ohio, 125 cases have been reported in 2025 — experts say the fungus spreads mainly in health care settings and can be hard to treat when drugs fail.
