The Greater Akron Chamber on Thursday, March 28, mistakenly tweeted a photo of Dayton instead of one of Akron as part of a Twitter post seeking new members.

Scores of Twitter users and a list of media outlets that includes the Akron Beacon Journal (Ohio.com) and Cleveland’s ABC 5 were among those to call them on error.
According to the Beacon Journal, it read:
“Becoming a member of the Greater Akron Chamber allows you to help advance the overall #business climate and #economic development of our great region!”

Nice image, but WTF city is this in the photo? It sure as hell ain't Akron... 😆😂😁🤣😄 https://t.co/Mgf9dZoCga

The bad tweet was removed.
The chamber apologized for the goof on Twitter and tried to make a big pitcher of lemonade out of all those lemons.
We have released a post that included a skyline other than of Akron and for that, we apologize. It was an honest mistake and now we'd like to use this opportunity to call for images of Akron! See how we view Akron through our eyes in this video below! https://t.co/TwKZpvwDuB
