I was born here in 1951. Moved to live in upstate N.Y. in 1971 and moved back here in 1982. Why did we come back? It's cheap to live here! We pay half for insurance, half the amount for utilities, half everything. You can eat, have a place to live and clothing on your back and not go broke! Akron's downtown is not too shabby. When it was bustling being the Rubber Capitol of the World, it was busy. This city has nothing to brag about, no sightseeing attractions, but you can make a decent living. We all know where the trouble areas are, but there are plenty of good places to live .........just sayin'.......
I've been in Akron 23yrs! I'm originally from Cleveland. And Akron is no worse than any other small city in America! 💯 Yes we have gun play...but if you'd have done your research before doing this video, you'd know that our "gun deaths/ murder rate didn't spike until 2021! That's when the STATE passed their new CCW LAW 💯 You gotta make it make sense!
Downtown and then headed toward Ellet. You didn't even go through AKRON Akron. That building to the right with all the windows busted was the Goodyear plant and it's been that way for decades. Should have made a right at that light before that bridge. You would have seen why Akron is dangerous 😂
East Akron had all the tire companies manufacturing sites along with the neighborhoods for the workers. West Akron had the high end homes for the execs that didn't want to smell the tire factories. I lived around there in the 50's- 70's. I was just fine.
Akron has some really beautiful architecture...but when I was watching I kept getting flashes of images from the series "Earth After People". If the current economy and flawed leadership don't change they are going to be a lot of lots where they had to tear buildings down for neglect. Love, David
Troubled Areas?? Where are those exactly? Bcz Ive lived in Hudson all the way down to the Merriman Valley! Crime exists everywhere in Summit County Sis!! It's just about what gets reported and what doesn't!
Lol, you give statistics to The bad parts of Akron, then don't even drive to those areas of the city. When you was on main Street if you would of just drove straight another 2 blocks you would of been at least where the bars are at. Where some of the shootings happened. And would of seen what shares space in downtown. Then going up E. Market you first mention here's a couple buildings boarded up. They're not boarded up there are construction workers there remodeling the buildings. I suggest you get an idea about a city before going there and assume things about what you see and relate it to the statistics you get to the little area you see. Can you see where the phrase Misinformation starts? That's what you did gave Misinformation
Was there last weekend- every liqour store I went to had bullet holes through the window. As a combat vet it makes things interesting, but I couldn't get service from these folks!
I was born in Akron at St. Thomas, my mother watched the Y bridge being built while I was being born in 1981, I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls and I still work here, Akron is my stomping ground, I know the city like the back of my hand, while the city has it's faults and flaws, it's home!! and I've never had any problems, I used to walk downtown after hours, right now in '24 the main problem in the AK-ron is the road construction, it's getting to be rough getting around, the foreman for Kenmore Construction has a serious case of A.D.D because they work a lil here and a lil there one day and then they got every road shut down the next, CRAZY!!! other than that it's FAFO just like any other city, if you're out looking for trouble, you're going to find it, but if you mind yours then you'll be aiight ✌️
You are lying about the closed up buildings on the East end in Akron. I live here and all that stuff is new and expensive. What are you talking about?
Thanks for watching

Not true the murder rate was down in 2021 compared to 2020 do your research stop trying to blame s*** on the 2a
The people are there bitter nozy don't know about personal space there drug addicts and pedos other than that akron okay
Like any city, you just exercise caution in certain areas at different times of day. All the crime is in certain bad areas. Akronites know whats up.

7:49 had a guy try to hit me in the head with a stick there.

Man you were scared to drive through the side streets of Akron
Yeah...I noticed that route she took also😂 She didn't go on the North or the West😂😂😂
[-OO how do you drive by Goodyear headquarters and not even mention it
This lady is going to get somebody hurt telling them it's not dangerous...smh she didn't even go to 5% of the city ..smh

Goodyear Heights born and raised. Left in 81

Statistics as provided by the FBI
Troubled Areas?? Where are those exactly? Bcz Ive lived in Hudson all the way down to the Merriman Valley! Crime exists everywhere in Summit County Sis!! It's just about what gets reported and what doesn't!
Agreed. Many cities stopped reporting crimes properly after 2020
If you want to find a nice area, to live, in Akron. Buy a map, draw a circle around Akron. move outside the circle.
Lol, you give statistics to The bad parts of Akron, then don't even drive to those areas of the city.

Thanks for sharing that. People need to hear all they can about these cities
@@risingcrimenewswhat do you mean " these city's " ?
@@budnolan1033 The cities in the videos. Someone may want to move there and the more information they can have prior to doint that might help them
I live in Akron, OH and I have seen a lot of CRIME and a lot coming from the Police. BTW I bet you will drive through my neighborhood.
Did i drive by your house?
@@risingcrimenews you were a few blocks away twice
Canton sucks....lived here a year and going back to where I'm from....
My City
Once any city hits 30% crime lovers, it is beyond the point of no return. The most successful people leave. The losers stay.

A friend was robbed while making a food delivery. Robbers made a food call delivery to a vacant house.
Yeah. Those delivery drivers put their lives at risk on some of these calls. Unfortunately that happens more than you would think
