r/akron

It’s going to pain me to ask for a Republican ballot tomorrow, but I will do everything I can to vote against Vivek Ramaswamy and you should too.

I've hit a bunch already but looking for more;)

Moving to Akron this month for work.

Is it really bad out there in terms of crime and where should I stay if I’m a young professional looking to be in proximity to everything?

What should I watch out for as a non Ohio resident?

I am a 22M and I just moved to Akron for the summer and want to meet people and try new foods and drinks. I’ve been lost in the Google Maps pit of places to try, and socials have helped to suggest places to go. But I’m lost on where to actually meet people and where to go after work. Any good suggestions would be amazing!

Not really wanting to travel 45+ minutes just to get some things for my snakes so I was wondering if anyone know where to go for used tanks/enclosures that aren’t priced too high or for free. I looked on the marketplace but they are either too far or they want too much.

I’m lookin for at least 3 30gallon tanks, might do 2 30s and 1 40s in the Akron/Summit county area and some feeders.

New to the area as well so any helpful tips will be appreciated

Just saw on 330togo that there is potentially an active shooter situation at Summit Mall. Anyone have any info? Just reading that cops are flying in there left and right and one comment mentioned multiple shots fired. No idea how valid any of that info is…

Hi I'm looking for locations around summit county that are large enough and model rocket friendly so set off with my step son. We went to goodyear park, and set them off one day with no issue, then weeks later took a drone and found out the parks in the whole county forbid these hobbies. Any suggestions?

Since being bought out by the hedge fund this place has gone downhill quickly. Patient wait times are long and just getting a response for help is frustrating. 2 voicemails and 3 my chart messages and I am still waiting for someone to address my concern. Totally different world from when I moved here 8 years ago.

The longtime location of Acme in Stow closed recently. Has it really fallen off a cliff since Meijer came to the area? That store has been there forever, going back to when it was one of the first Click stores in the area to open in the 1960s...

I was visiting the city for the first time and took my kid to the children’s museum. When driving back to Cleveland I notice a large black jellyfish looking thing in the sky near downtown?? It was near the skyscrapers. Was wondering if anyone else saw it or knows wtf that was. My husband also saw it too before you guys think I’m crazy lol

Edit to add more info. This was yesterday so 5/10 and around 3-4pm!
