NO on Canton, Ohio..

8/7/2006
For a city of only 79,000.. you have a high concentration of LOW LIFE.. WAY too much, with people just out "milling around".. looking for something to get into.. A lot of sex offenders, ex cons, and the same people in and out of jail, wrecking havoc on peoples lives.... HOOKERS galore, pimps, drug dealers, and people just screaming in the streets, in the middle of the night, early morning.....CHEAP housing,is expected, and is...The really oustanding things, are that the City of Canton, has a GREAT mayor, Mayor Janet Weir Creighton, and just as outstanding, is the Canton City Police Chief, Dean McKimm..ALSO, Canton has a terrific police force...Unfortunately the mentality in Canton, what there is of it, goes in a big circle, and ends up where it started..NOT a people, with vision, for the most part..... A very prominent "redneck" attitude, prevails, and if you go outside the general mode, people run for fear of the unknown..Very clannish and clicky, with a small town mentality....LOTS of crime, and low life behavior patterns..Canton is trying to make a comeback, and no one could be in a better place to make that happen, then the current Mayor, and the current Police chief, mentioned above.....People with a normal lifestyle, and the $$$$ to get out, FLEE to the burbs, where they can buy a decent car, without the fear of someone looking in it by day, and breaking into it, by night..Someone banging on your door to "use the phone", or hitting you up for 'a ride".. MANY alcoholics....with people just milling around, block by block....Yep, thats Canton, Ohio....HIGH tolerance and "Pity" for criminals, with Cantons HUGE array of "social helps groups", and very little justice, for those living right.. HOWEVER, the Canton Police Chief, DOESNT play that, and neither does the Canton Police Force....
