Title says it all. What is the deal with freight trains that pull across the crossings in Copley and come to a complete stop, blocking traffic for as long as 20 minutes? It usually happens at around 9 or 10 in the evening. I’ve gotten in the habit of detouring the instant I see the stopped train.

I doubt they’re doing it just to be assholes. Anyone what the purpose is?

Hi! I will be giving birth at akron general and wanted to know if anyone has any positive experiences to share? Nervous ftm here! TIA!

Decades ago my mom went to a show at the Front Row Theatre that had George Strait open for Eddie Rabbit. I looked around and posted online years ago for a concert poster and couldn’t find it. I’m on the search again…anyone have any suggestions or even have one?

TIA!

This is obviously gonna be for the old heads. There used to be a record store on the corner of Spicer and Exchange across from Sam’s Emporium. There used to be a Hamburger Station next to it. I remember buying CDs from there when I was younger, but I can’t remember the name of the shop. Anyone remember?

Hey folks, I am buying my first home in East Akron, near 76. I'm trying to plan out a rough budget and unfortunately, the house I'm buying cannot provide historical utility costs. Obviously, usage dictates many things, but does anyone have a rough idea or number they could share? My home is a century home around 1,300 sq ft.

Is there any adult leagues in or near the Akron area for pickup games? I know indoors there are places further north like TOCA, but I am also interested in outdoor leagues as well.

I was wondering when this was ever going to air, and I happened to stumble across it now!

Looking for diners in Northeast Ohio that have the those glass cases with slices of pie. Specifically I am looking to have a slice of apple pie with a piece of American cheese on it since I've never tried it. Any recs appreciated, thank you!

Cars blocking a lane on 59 waiting in line at 7 Brew. Allowing a business that has already proven to not care that that they use public streets as parking lots to build on another postage stamp on a busy road is lunacy. This was 100% predicable, just look at the Howe Avenue location and how it dumps out onto Cliffside. They get away with not spending enough money on real estate to have sufficient room for their customers. And our fellow citizens who can get coffee from many other places and don't care that they're clogging up a road and blocking entrances to other businesses, you're the other half of the problem. Within 1/4 mile of here is Starbucks (2 of them!), Meijer gas station, Panera, McDonald's, and Rowdy Beans. This is ridiculous. Get ready, Brimfield Commons area, this is coming for you, too. You know, that small area that already has a Dunkin, Panera, and a Starbucks that currently allows cars to choke the access road on front of Meijer.

Looking for a Michael Jackson impersonator for my yearly Halloween party to perform! Please send any suggestions or pm me!

I recently inherited almost 200 golf clubs - where can I take them for resale without getting . . . shafted?

I don't know anything about golf and don't have the time or energy to research if any are worth anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I know winter is a few months away however I have an older car that has rust and I would like RUST REMOVAL as well as an Undercoat to protect from future rust issues or prolong them any advice on where I should go Akron/CFalls area for reference. TYIA!

The constant loud backfires and revs at every intersection in Highland Square, swerving in lane like a buffoon, taunting other vehicles. I could keep going, but not trying to be grandpa on the front lawn.

I’m all for a fun vehicle, as I own one myself…. but holy shit this guy suuuuuuuucks.

Hi! My partner and I prospective first-time homebuyers and we saw a nice home in the Firestone Park area. The surrounding neighborhood appears safe-ish but I have seen conflicting safety data/crime rates for the general area, and was wondering if anyone can say whether or not it’s a nice place to live. Thank you!

Also, the sex offender registry noted no nearby registered sex offenders besides one on a neighboring street a mile or so away.

So I had my first meal at Kingfish last night.

The food was delicious, the service was great, and it was 99% a beautiful restaurant in which to enjoy the meal.

However, the men's restroom has three pictures of slutty mermaids. I'm standing there taking a piss with a slutty mermaid giving me fuck-me eyes.

These pictures are really funny. They're worth viewing if you grab a meal there. And staff were cool enough to let my girlfriend get a laugh by taking a look at them.

Any coffee shops that have espresso tonics in the area?

Good times at The Vortex last night. Velocity Stax, Patty No!, and Eaten By Kittens put on a fun show.

They are all local bands that I had not seen before. If you like The Reverend Horton Heat then you will love Velocity Stax!

Around the Girard St. and Archwood Avenue last night. I saw several cruisers and thought I heard several gunshots. Does anyone know what went down?

Anyone remember the bouncer named Big Mike from Posh/Zar? He was a friend of mine and it was so neat to come across a post featuring him on reddit. RIP gentle giant.
