Housing - 8/3/2009
I am presently looking for some really private senior housing which will include my dog. Rents are the cheapest I've seen, having come from Vineland, N.J., which is sky-high.

The social services are adequate, but need to do more for disabled, handicapped, homeless, jobless and otherwise people who are going down the tubes. What are we? A welfare state rapidly turning into a third world country? Get with it, Mid-West! Be an example for the rest of this joke!

Snowfall - 4/16/2008
Just to let you know we get lots of snow in the winter. This year we had a blizzard and we reach into the negatives for "highs" during the day in January and February. I just thought you may want to update your information which shows snowfall as Read More

Akron Oh. lacks in care for people with H.I.V./Aid - 2/21/2008
I have lived here a year now, in Akron Ohio. the attention given to those of us on a fixed income, ( disability ) is atrocious. their is only one care center for those of us with hiv, and it is being runned by a woman who figures shes gods gift to those with aids, the appointments I have made with this 1 office called the care center, where they cancel my appointments, don't respond to my concerns. and I have even had the phone hung up on me, by the woman who runs this clinic! This is just the medical side of the horrors.
It has now been a year since I've seen a doctor or taken any medications. I am now going through waisting syndrome. I have hunted and searched for an hiv doctor out here to no avail. everything sends me back to this same, summa care center.
Theirs nothing to say about any other assistances for those with HIV / aids who need assistance in Akron Ohio, except that their isnt any. the one office called violets cupboard wants paperwork that intails your Read More

Akron Ohio. What is really here ? - 1/25/2008
As a business owner and native of summit county for over 40 yrs. Northern Ohio is nothing more than the place you were born. Hopefully your parents came for the rubber jobs like mine did. All that is gone leaving taxes poor housing appreciation and not really anything positive other than you are above sea level a bit. There is not much money here that is why we are sheltered from influx of mexicans ( they know that money is slow here). I would leave asap and run else where. All college grads go elsewhere to make their money. Weather is hot or cold. Miss the change of season come back and vacation and see same people on the same barstool ( year after year). so sad only 166 days of Read More

Not so bad - 12/17/2007
Lots of transition over the years in the Akron Area. Downtown is looking great, new restaurants, new watering holes, New Art Institute. Alot of downtown weekend activities. Akron has a small town feel, with a great airport with flights to most major cities across the U.S. Akron has a committed group of people with an interest to see Akron not only grow, but become a place younger people would love to Read More

Akron is becoming a ghost town - 7/15/2007
We have had the same leadership in this city for the last 20 + years and all I see is my taxes going up and the economy going down. don plusquellic's failure at the helm and his hard nosed attitude and arragance has got to come to an end other wise I will have to leave a city that I love. Consider very carefully before you move Read More

No jobs - 6/15/2007
The Akron area is an easy place to make a lower-middle income life. Crime isn't too bad and life is not congested. However there are a lack of options for employment. The economy is pretty lousy in terms of finding something you really want to do. Make a living? sure. Fufill a dream? Probably not. Education is expensive and taxes are high, with property taxes holding up most of everything Read More

Akron -- a place for all -- for all time - 5/16/2007
We have an incredible park system available to runners, walkers and bicyclists. We have several excellent restaurants, a newly redesigned
art museum that will reopen in July. In many cases, you can find a
country living situation, and, still be no more than ten minutes (or less)
from the mall. We have theater productions, a university, and a minor
league baseball team. We are mid-point between two airports: one in
Cleveland, and another, Akron-Canton airport that major discount airlines: AirTran and Frontier. Ideal! Revere and Hudson (public) Schools can't be beat!! A lot of house for the money compared to other cities. Ten minutes
max to shopping, doctors, post office, school, hospitals. Oh! World class
Children's Hospital. West Point Market! A lovely zoo. It's Akron, we love it!!Read More
