Does anyone have recommendations on salons or individual stylists that work well with young kids? I’m finally steeling up the nerve to schedule my 3-year-old’s first haircut, and I don’t know if it’s worth it to trek out to a kids-only salon (all of which seem to be 30+ minutes away?) or if there’s anyone to consider more locally.

Anybody know of a bar that's going to show the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight? I know it's on Netflix, but I want to watch with friends and am trying to avoid having a bunch of people over.

Hii, I am graduating this spring and I am looking for apartments in the Akron/Fairlawn area. One option I have been looking at is Cypress West in Fairlawn. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on these specific apartments? OR if anyone had any other apartment suggestions in this area? My Budget is $900-$1000, one bedroom.

Thank you!! :)

I miss having places like old school Radio Shacks and Philcap for electronic parts/supplies. Is there anything in the area still around where you can find stuff like that ("that" being items to make/repair things, not actual finished items they sold).

The only thing I can think of "close" is the DIY section of Microcenter, which is nice, but the selection isn't as big as what used to be available to PC/RC.

(for those curious, I need a 6 pin Molex connector for my speaker, and they come in various sizes, trying to avoid the guessing game on amazon and just take it somewhere that have various sizes. ;)

I need to rehome my 5-6yo female terrier mix. Not a single shelter or organization can take her because they are all full, and/or won't take from out of county. I have been filing out forms and posts all morning, trying to get any help or anyone to take her. I will not take her to a kill shelter. She was saved from one when we got her in early 2020. We need to have her out of where we live asap. Our hearts are broken.

Please, if anyone can help in any way, or foster, or rehome her in a safe home and can prove you're not involved in dog fights, Please, we can't keep her where we live anymore.

Hello everyone! I have a small group of people that typically meet every other Sunday at one of the local parks, however, with the weather changing, we are struggling to find an indoor location that we can utilize. Does anyone know of any indoor locations where a group can meet regularly for either really cheap or free? I've called the library, but haven't heard back from them yet. Any help would be appreciated.

All of the car washes I can find on Google are the automatic type where you drive thru. That obviously won’t work for a motorcycle.

I’m looking for one where you put it quarters and operate the power washer yourself.

Does anyone know of a spot?

Has anyone heard any updates on when this project might be completed? It was only supposed to be closed for 90 days beginning July 22nd.

Looking for a venue in the greater Akronish area to hold a casual-themed party with a band, and alcohol (to be held next summer). Nothing formal or stuffy. Any suggestions?

We play out of my apartment in the valley, every other Friday night 7 - 11-ish

We'd welcome someone new to the hobby and teach if necessary.

I do have cats and I do smoke weed inside sometimes - so those might be deal breakers.

If you are interested DM me and I can provide more details about our situation and our campaign.

Edit shockingly I got a quick response so this slot is filled for now. Thanks for the replies.

Hey everyone, here is a petition to make Akron a Trans Sanctuary city. If you want to fill it out, feel free to click on the link and put in your info. They ask for your ward, so I attached a ‘find my ward’ link. Here it is!

Has anyone lived there or have any knowledge of the apartments, management and upkeep?

Spare room is large and has never been used. The rest of unit is already furnished plus I built a full gym in the garage. Super clean place, it's a brand new unit, private driveway, nice community and I live alone save for one old dog (29yo male).

Preferably looking for just one individual (no kids).

Price is 1k per month everything is included except for internet/power which I think is about 100 more total per person.

Just lost my job so looking to offset my expensive ass rent while I find something else.

DM me for details and we can set up a meeting or discord call. I can also give you the name of the development.

I won't murder you if you don't murder me! 👍

Looking for a new living situation and have some options in the Chapel Hill area.

I’m very familiar with the shopping district- and I’ve lived in Akron before, but nowhere near there.

I’ve driven around the neighborhood area a bit in the past, but nothing springs to mind as far as what impression it gave off. Nothing on Nextdoor really either aside from some car theft mentions.

Just curious if anyone has some recent feedback or opinions!

Whats everybody's favorite sushi spot .

The only way I can see myself getting through the upcoming wave of hate is by finding a local community that is safe for queer people and women. Where do I even start? I’m very introverted. Please… pass on any resources that might be helpful too.

Thank you!

Really want to go back to school as I’m tired of just working these mindless jobs.

I’ve been interested in welding and HVAC and just visited Fortis College today. It seemed nice but also seemed like they tell you what you want to hear.

I’m just hesitant to make a jump either way but I know it’s something I need and want to do.

Hello, does anyone know if passengers are allowed to stay overnight at the Akron-Canton Airport if their flight leaves super early in the morning?

Hello all!

I'm a journalist with Ideastream Public Media (89.7 WKSU) working on a historical radio story regarding downtown Akron's LGBTQIA+ neighborhood on South Howard Street in the 1950's and early 1960's (before it was raised for skyscrapers and part of the Innerbelt Highway).

I'm looking to speak with someone that may have lived or frequented that neighborhood in that time period.

For transparency sake, this would be recorded for an audio story.

Hi there,

My spouse and I are on the verge of divorce. We would be celebrating 6 years in a few days otherwise. I am planning on filing early next year unless something changes.

I want to give it one last shot. Does anybody have suggestions for marriage/couples’ therapy? I’m at a loss as where to start.

Thank you. 🙏

It was in the same plaza as Marc’s but on the other end.

I recently dyed my hair midnight jade and I love it. I did it the day before Halloween. On the day of Halloween I went to work with midnight jade ( green) hair. I just got told yesterday my hair can not stay this color. I'm pissed because I have to dye it again. I work at Applebee's as a to go specialist. Can they terminated me because of my hair color even though they say I'm the best employee they had in a while.

I'm moving in the summer and plan on renting a house for no more than $1,500 a month. I'm finding many houses that are great options but it's hard to tell what areas are both safe and quiet. I need to be no more than 30mins away from University of Akron.

Edit: These are the areas I've seen houses I like in.

Tomorrow at 6:30PM I'm livestreaming my documentary Social Media Monster and a bit on how it was made on YouTube. It features a certain notorious former Akron Resident who many online know.

https://youtube.com/live/XcqFjsezdnU

I'm originally from Wadsworth, Ohio but the story of the documentary is about an internet troll who targeted the city of St. Joseph, Missouri in 2018. It's about how social media was weaponized and made several people's hellish due to online stalking.

Hope people will tune it and give it a watch.

I went through some older posts but I'd like some other opinions. I'm considering buying a house around or in the Akron area (currently renting in C.Falls) What are some of the safer or nicer areas within Akron, and what areas should I avoid while looking at houses? I've strongly considered simply staying in the Falls, if the right house at the right price pops up.

I've also looked at North Hills, but as far as the Akron suburbs go, I'm not too familiar. I'm familiar with everything around Akron, though!

Holy crap! It’s 2:50 (formally 3:50 am) and there was just a HUGE explosion “sound” here in North Hill/ Akron area. Like shook my house, woke my dog, massive explosionary sound.

Does anyone have any idea what that was? (Again, it’s 2:50 am, officially Sunday now…)
