Finally, somewhere to eat in Akron[:D]

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chrissie Hynde is opening a vegetarian restaurant here named VegeTerranean.

Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders and Akron native, will sing accompanied by an acoustic guitarist at a free concert at the grand opening of the upscale restaurant on Sept. 15.

The restaurant will feature a blend of Mediterranean and vegetarian cuisine. No meat will be served.

Hynde, who lives in England, has brought in a Canton restaurateur as a partner in the venture.
