Adams Street in Akron, Ohio.  The location had a rich history and was Akron&#8217;s longest running bar in the LGBTQ+ community when it closed in 2018.  The venue got its start in the late 1960&#8217;s when Helen Jenkins opened it as the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?p=95004\">Robin&#8217;s Nest<\/a>, a lesbian bar.  In 1974 she re-branded Robin&#8217;s Nest as the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?p=95000\">Hayloft<\/a>, a gay man&#8217;s bar.  Don Brown took over ownership on June 5th, 1979 and shortly after renamed the bar Adams Street Bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n.jpg\" alt=\"Adams Street Bar (Akron, Ohio)\" data-id=\"94911\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?attachment_id=94911\" class=\"wp-image-94911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1488231_741616525865747_1734869152_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Adams Street Bar (Akron, Ohio)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n.jpg\" alt=\"Adams Street Bar (Akron, Ohio)\" data-id=\"94912\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?attachment_id=94912\" class=\"wp-image-94912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/408023_606396842721050_198000219_n-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Adams Street Bar (Akron, Ohio)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o.jpg\" alt=\"Adams Street Bar (Akron, Ohio)\" data-id=\"94913\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?attachment_id=94913\" class=\"wp-image-94913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13041402_1267387176622010_2772254928933697257_o-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Adams Street Bar (Akron, Ohio)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adams Street: Archives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Photo Archives<\/span><\/strong><ul><li><strong>2015<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?p=106890\">February 2015 &#8211;
