Review of Canton, Ohio


Please don't move here!
Star Rating - 6/20/2009
I have lived in Canton almost my entire life. All I can say is that Canton has become a great big GHETTO! There are no jobs, crime is rampant, drug deals and prostitution goes on in broad daylight, the "homeless" stand at every Wal-mart parking lot holding signs begging for money, all while smoking cigarettes! This city invests no money into the children of this city(believe I know, I have 5) All they do seem to care about is McKinley basketball and football. Wow we have the pro football HOF and a parade and induction once a year. This does not a city make. The income taxes are terrible(straight 2% regardless) and then they still expect you to be responsible for everything. What exactly does our tax dollars go to? I hate living here and feel unsafe at night. After I'm out of my degree program, we are leaving this terrible city and state!
