Hi all. My friend is looking for winter activities. She complains that everything closes at 5, everything costs money, and that there's simply nothing to do. What are some free winter (indoor) based activities she can do in the general Akron area? She is early 20's. She enjoys most activities but she hates using social media apps (Facebook, instagram, etc) to find them. I want to help her, but she shoots down all my suggestions. Any and all recommendations are welcome! Please be nice. Thanks.

I will be working at the Akron Airport (KAKR), and I am looking for places to live. What are some areas/companies/complexes that I should completely avoid? I know nothing about the area, so any help would be appreciated.

Maybe it's because of the time of year that gets me pondering the deeper questions about existence and looking for the meaning in certain things. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. There are questions that no one really has the answers to, so they are more ruminations and thought experiments rather than questions that have empirical answers. Where do we come from? Why are our lives so relatively short and finite? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why are humans so duplicitous?

And then there is the one question that I keep coming back to, time and time again. It's about a local practice that is so perplexing and so unlike anything I've ever encountered before. It pushes human behavior into a place that is so alien to my own perception of the world that it keeps me up at night and distracts me from important tasks.

Why, for the love Simon Perkins, do people drive around for years with that big VanDevere vinyl decal across their back window? It takes less than a minute to remove. It's not VanDevere's car anymore. It's your car and they do not pay you to advertise for them. It is not a flex to have purchased a car from them. No one behind you is saying, "My God, Marge. Those absolute heros bought a car at VanDevere. Dig a 10 out of your purse so that I can run up to their window and give it to them at the next light". I'm not hopeful that I'll really every completely understand this. But I would like to hear some theories.

Just got back from a trip to the southwest and wasn’t able to try menudo for the first time while there. The line was too long at the place we wanted to try it in El Paso. Are there any good options around Akron?

Anyone into puzzles in the area! I was a part of puzzle swapping group where I lived last and it was perfect, never had to buy a puzzle!

Any puzzle swapping group in the Akron area??

free avatar symphony concert tickets. 2 tickets on ticketmaster. can no longer go due to car trouble

the closer to Merriman Valley the better but is anyone aware of a pub that has Goldschlager, Frangelico, and Irish Cream available behind the bar? would save me the hiking around and calling so TIA!

My two favorites are Bates Street and the super 1950s skywalk over Church Street, any kinds of hidden quirky things like that would be awesome!

does anyone know any dance studios that do adult ballet classes in the area? I would prefer if they are close to the bus line.

Where can I find the cheapest PO box in Akron/Barberton/Cuyahoga Falls, etc? I just need the smallest box (4 x 6in iirc)

I have never had a personal trainer before. However, I am lazy and do not want to work out. Also tired of being out of shape and feeling gross.

Looking for someone to work with me two days a week (?) and to be able to go to the gym a couple more days by myself to work out alone if I want.

I don’t know the first thing about working out, so I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Fairlawn/West Akron/Cuyahoga Falls areas would be the best but open to other options.

Where can I go to have my Kitchen Aid mixer serviced? I inherited my mom’s 80’s KA and it needs some cleaning and for sure to be regreased inside. Is there a local authorized or trusted servicer?

Thanks in advanced.

So, pulled into my driveway tonight and I saw this drone flying over head. Knew it wasn't a small plane or helicopter because it turned at a sharp right angle and flew off towards the west. So are these things now in Akron as well)

Anyone hear that noise just a little bit ago? Sounded like something blew up? (House? Bomb? Some sort of lab lol?) Heard it in goodyear heights and dangit I'm nosy! (And just a tad worried)

I work at a drs office and got one of the dr’s for my secret Santa. She likes Cabernet Sauvignon, but I have no idea where to go to buy it and what is a good type. I have a price limit of $45 to somebody know where I can go to get a really good bottle of wine in the Akron Fairlawn Barberton area? And most importantly, what brand?

I’m curious I just wanna drive by and see it. But I know it’s like in downtown. I’m not super familiar exactly with downtown Akron. So can someone give me an address or like a restaurant that’s across the street I can type into my GPS for that area where like the Christmas tree is

i have gift cards to both Meijer & Giant Eagle...who has a better spiral cut ham?

Hello! Does anyone know grocery stores that might carry spices/ingredients for authentic Turkish cuisine? I'm hoping to replicate a taste of my home. Maybe somewhere in North Hill would carry Turkish/Turkic necessities?

My boyfriend is obsessed and nothing is the same to him, does anyone know a location in Akron that sells official Slush Puppie slushes in Akron?

He's a big fan of the texture of these, much thicker ice chunks than an Icee brand drink for reference.

Sheetz has some "Iced Specialties" drinks that are similar, but none have the flavors I am looking for recently. Sonic is also similar but too far to drive on a craving. Any other suggestions?

Let’s talk La Loma.

I feel like it comes up on Reddit comments when folks ask about the best restaurants in Akron. Well, I’d say, meh. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything special. Honestly, just your typical “authentic” Mexican place like most all others. If anything, the food was just okay, not bad, but certainly not to a level where I’d tell someone it’s one of the best restaurants in Akron, or if they were visiting Akron that they “have” to go.

Pro Tip: The margarita actually kind of sucked 😂 (see picture).

Greetings Folks, my wife is of Swedish origins, and is hoping there might be a traditional Swedish shop in the area for Jul related food and gift ideas. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Looking for a local restaurant that makes their egg rolls in-house, or are so good they taste homemade! Bonus points if they have shrimp, but pork is fine too. Can be in Akron or the surrounding neighborhoods (I'm in Stow but willing to drive). Thanks in advance!

LaBelle’s Barbershop service was excellent.

I posted a few days ago about growing out a longer beard for the first time and was looking for local places with the best service and experts. People here recommended LaBelle’s.

I opted for the beard trim and the hot towel, moisturizing treatment, and facial massage.

Payton was my barber. Service was excellent, he was professional and calculated in his work, and he gave me some good feedback for maintenance and care to grow it further.

The shop itself is also really nice on the inside with great environment and really comfortable chairs.

Will definitely be going back for future appointments.

Christmas shopping, dinner and maybe some entertainment

I've been here for abt 5 years, and every winter it goes from ridiculously cold, to ridiculously warm, right back to ridiculously cold again. I remember it getting up to 60° in the middle of winter. What's the deal?

Has it always been like this? Is it a climate change thing? Does God just hate northeast Ohio?

Hi! I have found multiple different answers for this so I wanted to check. Does summa hospital test for nicotine? If so do they test for just nicotine or cotinine as well? I am quitting and nicotine should hopefully be out of my system but cotinine will not be.
