I have the opportunity as a Highschool student to have lunch with the mayor tomorrow to discuss about issues impacting Akron as well as if I wanted, to join the Mayors Youth Leadership council. Any tips or recommendations?

Going to Michaelangelo’s winery in Richfield this weekend and are trying to plan on a bar to go to afterward. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My friend has a few questions about TANF OHIO. She is Unemployed, a family of 1, She's currently pregnant and expecting July of 2025. She also is an recovering Addict 1 year clean, but still dealing with some court issues. She has to attend an Intensive outpatient program IOP 3 days a week, and atleast 1 meeting/week for the next 7 months. She still has over 600 hrs of cummunity service to complete, so she volunteers at local Churches/Nursing homes every weekend. I mean this lady's schedule is more than full, lololol. She rents her apartment $850.00 with Utilities Included, She gets no help with rental assistance. Shes on the waiting list for AMHA but they said she still has about a 24 month wait. Yes she gets SNAP benefits $292 and Medicaid.

So I geuss what her questions are:

1.How much would she be eligible for?

2.Will they still make her come down to the local office and complete the job search program even though she is court ordered to do IOP 3 days/week for 5 hrs/day, and also 1 meeting/weekly???

3.What if she never has the extra time to go down to the office for 3 hours minimum?? Will they just turn her away and deny her??

4. Will cummunity service hours

Count towards the job search hours?? Will IOP hours count towards the job search hours??

Does anyone know of any real rental assistance for Back Rent in SUMMIT/CUYAHOGA OHIO?? Yes I am on the waiting list for AMHA ❤️ NAMES, PHONE NUMBERS, ADDRESSES, & WEBSITES WOULD BE NICE! 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

Thank you❣

Hi! I just moved to the west akron /wallhaven area and now I'm 2 minutes from the whole foods. I've always thought whole foods is for overpriced healthy food but I've only actually been there once. Is is worth going there for anything if I don't care about organic stuff? I'm pretty frugal with groceries and usually go to aldi, but I also hate driving and the convenience of it being the closest store is nice. my plan for groceries so far has been to go to the fairlawn aldi on Cleveland massillon rd and then the giant eagle next to it for the things aldi doesn't have. My other question: I've noticed a lot of Asian /Indian markets around here. is there one that's the best /biggest or should I check out all of them? in my experience with asian markets some are tiny and don't have much and some are bigger and have more produce.

Does anyone know of a place where i can rent a sewing machine in the Akron/Canton area?

According to Joann Fabrics website, the only location nearby that offers machine rentals is in North Canton. I just called and they said they only rent out Cricut machines now.

Are there any other places that have a sewing machine setup i can borrow for an hour?

Looking to buy a sectional sofa... Looking for recommendations. Went to Bob's last time won't be going back that.

Hi, Grew up in Ohio 80’s & 90’s and use to visit Coventry in Cleveland. Is it still a thing? Looking for places like that, or what it use to be like, to check out and see some stuff without a Starbucks in the corner.

Heya, I'm a DM looking for players for a regular D&D adventure. I DM a couple campaigns for the past 10 years and am thinking about starting a new campaign and would like to see if anyone (yes even newer players) is interested in playing. I would host at my house, I have a custom built D&D table, the only downside is the noise my kids will be making upstairs while we play in the basement. Message me if you want to know more or are interested in playing.
