I've been enjoying the site, comparing places I've been with places I might be going. Then I stumbled upon some reviews for Canton Ohio, where I currently am. I was surprised that comments seemed so far removed from my experiences that I thought I'd write and add a dissenting voice.
Canton Oh is a Midwest, blue collar town. I grew up here then moved away. But as we age, and our parents age, sometimes we find ourselves back in our hometowns whether we planned it or now. Thus... I'm back in Canton OH. And you know what... I'm surprised.
I'm an artist and lived in the greater Denver CO area for many years. When I first moved "home", I was very concerned... that as an artist I might starve. But I've been amazingly surprised at Canton Ohio's effort to support the arts.
If you tour downtown Canton OH you'll see amazing public works of art, exciting galleries in the downtown area. And most importantly, you'll sense a spirit of rebirth and camaraderie among those of us involved with this new "Arts District." We're grateful to find kindred spirits and especially grateful to be supported in this small Midwest town.
So say what you may... if you're near Canton OH, come downtown on the First Friday of the month and you'll be amazed at the talent, the excitement and the fun that can be generated in what used to be a nondescript midwest town.
