well I wrote back on 2006...Canton is getting better...Judges are finally doing their job, and not buying into the "helps deal"...The police force never did, TG.. but at one time, they were about the only ones who didnt.....There was once an over display of mercy, with NO justice, concerning criminals..... Now its going the other direction...Should be a happy medium in there somewhere... There are a lot of good people here.. Friendly and helpful... Im with the poster, though, who isnt too impressed with the church folk...Canton is a bit clannish, but they are trying to do something with it, and for the most part, the people in high places, are interested in how you see things.. This, I give this city credit for.. They have a great newspaper... Canton really does try hard, to please its residents..I used to really bash this place, but Ive realized, a lot of people are putting their FREE time and energy into this town, trying to figure out which way to go with it......It really wouldnt be fair, to strip someone of their hope, and their dreams... I dont think Ive ever lived in a city that was going down, where the community tried to pull together so hard, to save it, and pull her back up.... This one act, by itself, is very impressive, and is like a flashlight showing the interior, of many hearts... I bet those in Canton, reading my post, know just who I am, and never thought, Id make "a comment" like that, eh??.. Goes to show you.. You shouldnt always believe everything you hear.. Canton has some beautiful older homes, for a song...They finally are stepping up to the plate as far as the decay seeping any further into city neighborhoods..and saying NO MORE, and are taking measures to whip this town back into shape...Rental properties, slumlords, all of it....Criminals... The slap on the wrist that "once was"... is turning into years in the pokey, and its about time.... You have an excellent Police Chief, and an excellent police force.. Excellent fire dept, also...Its easy to get around, and pretty much, in an orderly fashion....I used to want to through Canton, Ohio out in yesterdays trash... but now...4 years down the road... Ive changed..She s changed... and I think Ill keep her.... :)
