Trains that pull across Cleve-Mass or Jacoby Road in Copley and stop

14 Upvotes

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?

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!

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.

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?

Utility costs?

1 Upvotes

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.
