Canton, Ohio SperlingViews

I moved back to Canton Ohio in 2005 for a short period. I was born and raised there. I have to tell you a real story. My wife and I moved into an apartment for 4 Months to decide where we are going to move too, because we both lost our jobs. It happened about 2 months in living there, when are Van was broken into. We were living in the nice area of Canton back then. That is when we decided to move within 2 more months out of OHIO. Canton is not a safe place anymore because of the high unemployment and the low life’s that come with it. The people are rude and do not care about anybody else but themselves that live there. This also includes people that go to church there. I could not believe how church people act there now. Canton change for the worse, this is when I left in 1988 and went back in 2005. I do not recommend Canton, Ohio for any young person to raise a family there.
