- To encourage waning business, Tommy Edwards disc jockey at WADC Akron, began emceeing live contry music shows at the Denison Square. The first show was on June 4, 1960[3]. The following year, on Dec 1, 1961, Edwards opened his country music store, Hillbilly Heaven, across the street.[4]. Not long afterwards, Edwards lamented the fact that it was difficult to get people out to support these country music acts.
