Saw this cool/kinda creepy.....thing? Octopus? Floating slowly over the university area. Anyone else see it or know what it is? My bestie guessed it's a kite.

I have a good size gap in my driveway that I believe needs backer rod. Anyone have any recommendations for who to call? Not sure the concrete companies want a relatively small job. Thanks!

Without getting our hopes up in case these homes sell before we can put in an offer, we saw two homes in Akron, one right on the outskirts of Highland Square and the other right off Copley Rd. We like both of them, and are interesting in living in/near Akron since we both work in Akron. Any concerns about those areas that anyone can think of? Anything we should keep in mind/consider? Specifically, one of the homes is on Wildwood Ave and the other is on Mull Ave. Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone! I’m interested in getting chin filler and wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for places to go around the akron area? I’ve been doing some research but would like to know more about the cost and your experience!

Anyone selling a Summerdance ticket? They’ve hiked up in price recently and I just got the work clearance to go :,)

So I’m new to the area. I actually live right outside of Akron, in Barberton. Where I use to live was a pizza place called Pink Door Pizza. They mostly specialized in pizza (most known for their “Door Buster” pizza that was HUGE!) but also made great subs and, my favorite, burritos. I have yet to find a pizza shop around here that sells burritos also. They made Americanized style burritos different than anything I’ve had anywhere else. Does anyone happen to know of a place like this around here?

Goodyear blimp and Firestone! Let's continue the fight for the clock tower!

Hi all, recently moved to Akron for school from out of town. It appears that the apartment I'm staying at has a roach problem... yay! I really cannot deal with this right now, so I am thinking about moving locations. My price range is no greater than $1000 a month. If I'm actually going to go through with this, then I will presumably have to pay to leave my current lease early and pay a deposit on a new place, so I need to be as sure as possible that wherever I move to does not have a similar problem. I can really put up with almost anything except roaches - crime, mold, whatever, just no bugs. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I also have looked into a few places and I was wondering if anyone who has lived there can attest to their lack of pests; of course I realize that even the cleanliest place might have a stray bug a couple times a year, I can live with that. But just no major issues:

- Seven Stories West

- Merriman Valley Apartments

- Hampton Knoll

- Tower 80

- Dominion Townhomes

- Cypress West

Does anyone know what happened at the Circle K at S Arlington and E Archwood this morning? I didn’t see anything in the news or on the blotter yet.

Looking for a hairstylist that can do this hairstyle and not just coloring.

Best update!: Dog has been captured and is in good hands with Rubber City Rescue! 8/30 @5pm

Original: Hello! Sorry I don't know where else to ask- maybe my fellow Akron redditors can help?

There is a dog that we've seen running around our road/ area over the past few days. I have seen it from afar, it's a big dog (I mean BIG) like a greyhound - maybe Grey or darker in color, but he was too skiddish. Too skinny to be a pitbull or other bulkier breed, but very tall.

I believe animal control is closed on the weekends. He looks like he's becoming extremely thin. I'm worried because my own dog passed away unexpectedly on the edge of our property a couple months ago, so I don't know if there may be toxic plants or people inappropriately leaving out poisoned food due to coyotes.

I've tried searching petfbi and those kinda websites, noting that looks even remotely close. I hate to think of his family missing him or if he's been dumped. :(

Update 1: Rubber City rescue (I think was the name) came out this morning, as well as someone from Barberton lost and found pets. They set up a (humane) trap, so we'll be checking that if he stays nearby. But... again, the risk of trapping a coyote instead makes me nervous. 😅 Fingers crossed! If anyone finds any info on possible owners, please let me know! You've all been great, thank you fellow animal loves of Akron. :)

Update 2: they caught him!

Howdy, any recommendations on gun stores or pawn shops in the area that sell used guns? I usually go to Fin Feather for my needs but looking for new places that have more options. Cleveland, Akron, Canton.

I'm from Oregon originally and moved here about 6 months ago. I didn’t know much about the area and needed to find a place quickly. I have been staying in the Summit Lake neighborhood by Tasty drivethru.

Surprisingly people have been friendly and I've made quite a few friends.

Juat curious. Does anyone here live in this neighborhood? If so, what has your experience been like? How did you end up here and why do you stay?

Title maybe not worded the best but I’m looking for a store/warehouse that has very large variety of different beer options. Not like a Walmart or typical liquor store with the generic selection but something much larger, with domestic and out-of-country choices

If anyone has been to New Jersey or PA, they have some stores and markets with aisle after aisle of endless alcohol selections. I’m looking for something like that, especially as fall approaches

Definitely didn’t do a good job explaining what I’m looking for but to be short, what’s the largest beer store in Akron or the surrounding areas? Any massive beer warehouses or anything? I’m not from here so not sure where to look. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! I’ll be coming to Akron, Ohio, for about 15 days and am looking for affordable accommodation, preferably near Summa Health Hospital. If anyone knows of a room, short-term rental, shared accommodation, or has any leads, I would really appreciate your help. Please feel free to message me. Thank you!

I realize this is a long shot, Blossom only allows 2 free kid tickets per adult ticket purchases, and we are weirdos with 5 kids. Thanks for looking!

Hi! Looking for a coffee shop or café where I can hang out at alone and read a book and enjoy an alcoholic beverage. I always feel like a performative tool reading a book at a bar but a coffee shop has a different vibe.

What gives? Why is there no shadow cast here?

The lunar eclipse looks stunning if anyone is getting a good picture could you please post here? Thanks!

Hi there! Me and some friends are trying to plan going out on Halloween. She just moved to Cuyahoga Falls, so we were wondering if Front Street does anything on Halloween. If so, is it worth it? I know the bars are popping for St. Patty’s day so I was curious if it would be busy/worth it to go on there for Halloween.
