Local photographer Janet Macoska will see her famous DEVO photo taken at the Chili Dog Mac in 1978 become a permanent street art installation at 182 South Main St. in Akron, the place that just happens to be the original site of the Chili Dog Mac. The City of Akron and the Akron Civic Committee have collaborated on the project, and the official unveiling runs from noon to 1 p.m. on Aug. 15. Devo’s Gerald V. Casale will be on hand for the proceedings.  In addition, there will be free chili dogs and tacos.
