Great turnout!

There was a very small group of counter protesters showed up. At a red light one flashed a gun at the prostesters.

hi folks! I’m moving to North Canton soon and would love any tips or advice. What are the best spots to eat or hang out? Any hidden gems or places to avoid? What’s the general vibe of the area, things to do, local events, or quirks I should know about? How’s the overall community? I’d really appreciate any insight from locals or anyone familiar with the area :)

Some of you may have seen our last 2 posts but for those who haven't, here's a quick recap. Early last year, my friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, mum, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist. We looked it up and saw custom paint by numbers kits existed but were ridiculously overpriced and most of them came without a frame or with a DIY frame. Long story short we spent months finding suppliers so we could provide custom paint by numbers kits cheaper than everywhere else and already framed, and reached out to you to buy our kits at cost price and give us feedback to improve our business. Over 500 of you tried our kits and the feedback was extremely positive.

A lot of you asked what we actually did with your feedback. One of the most common requests was for more canvas size options, a smaller, kid friendly size and a larger one for those wanting to level up. We heard you and we made it happen!

To say thanks we’re bringing back our special deal, you can order up to 4 kits at cost price using the code ‘COSTPRICEREDDIT’ . Our margins are already slim to keep things affordable, but we wanted to give back since these updates came directly from your input.

Canton is well known for being the home of the Hall of Fame and Canton Bulldogs, but few know the history behind their significance and place in history as one of the first dominant teams in professional football. Originally founded in 1903 they were one of the most successful teams in the "Ohio League" which preceded the NFL. From 1903 to 1914 they were a very successful team within the Ohio League, but their franchise changed forever in 1915 with the signing of Jim Thorpe. From 1915 to 1920 when the joined the APFA, they won the Ohio League championship every year except 1918 when they didn't play due to the outbreak of WWI. When the NFL was formed at the Hupmobile dealership in Canton, Thorpe was named president of the new league. The Bulldogs won back-to-back NFL championships in 1922 and 1923, but the asking price for player contracts drained the money of the team, the Bulldogs were forced to sell the franchise back to the NFL after the 1926 season.

While the NFL has done a good job preserving the legacy and history of the early NFL through the Hall of Fame in Canton, there are countless stories that have been forgotten due to time, I intend to change that. As someone who is deeply passionate about both history and football, I have started developing a video game that focuses on defunct teams from the first decade of the NFL. I intend to reach out to the subs of every single city that had a franchise from that time period, and Canton is no exception to that with the deep passion and history that is rooted in the city. While the focus of the game is to create a fun game experience, I have spent countless hours researching the history of players and teams and anyone who has any knowledge or background on the Bulldogs that can only be found by actually living there, would be much appreciated. I am also aware that the NFL has trademarked the Bulldogs to sell apparel at the Hall of Fame, but I only intend to use the Bulldogs for historical purposes only, with no intention of selling merchandise with their name on it. If this project is of interest to anyone, I have created a sub under r/FieldsofGlory. Can't wait to meet those of you who decide to join as I shine a light on forgotten history!

Guys is there a luoshiwan market in Canton?

Does anybody have any recommendations for recruiters in the area that specialize in mechanical engineering?

I like Roosters, but looking for more recommendations. Used to love Quaker steak but it is way overpriced now. Any suggestions?

Hey neighbors!

I wanted to share something I’ve been quietly building that I think might resonate with some of you doing community work in Stark County Ohio. It’s called The Community Bower—and it’s basically a Chamber of Commerce, but for grassroots leaders, nonprofit folks, mutual aid crews, and anyone doing the slow, steady work of community care.

We’re just getting started, but here’s what’s in the works:

• Monthly connection events

• A shared resource library for tools, templates, grant leads, and more

• Opportunities for peer support, cross-referrals, and collaboration

• A vibe that’s more “grab coffee and strategize” than “power lunch and pitch deck”

The goal is simple: to make it easier for small-but-mighty orgs and community leaders to find each other, share what’s working, and build stronger systems—together.

We’re currently piloting the Bower through a grassroots incubator called IncuBrighter, and we’d love to connect with folks who want to help shape it.

If you’re:

Running a small nonprofit

Organizing in your neighborhood

Doing mutual aid or advocacy work

Dreaming up a project that doesn’t quite “fit” traditional org models...

You belong here.

Drop a comment if you want to learn more, share your work, or link up. And if you’ve got ideas for what this space could be, I’m all ears.

Let’s build the kind of ecosystem we’ve always needed.

My husband is considering a job near Canton, Ohio, and we're trying to figure out if it's the right move for our family. We'd be relocating from the Central Valley (NorCal) of California, which is a HUGE change! We have two kids: one in elementary school and the other starting college in the fall.

I work in property management and am a notary public here in CA, so I understand I'll likely need to explore different job opportunities or consider getting my real estate license in Ohio. We're looking for areas within a 30-40 minute commute of North Canton that have:

• Great schools: Especially for elementary level.
• Family-friendly environment: Safe neighborhoods, community activities, culturally diverse etc.
• College football scene: He's a die-hard OU fan (Oklahoma Sooners)

He's visited Ohio a couple times, but I've never been. We're totally unfamiliar with the area. Any recommendations for towns or specific neighborhoods we should check out? Any insights into the job market in the region? Any general advice for a family moving from California to Ohio? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, looking for a recommendations reasonably priced, honest, lawnmower (company) for a lot abt .69 acres in zip code 44709. The soil is heavy in clay so when it's been raining mowing needs skipped cause there will be pooled water in the lawn Edit for clarity.

If anyone needs a new show to binge watch, SILO is freaking amazing!!! I don’t know if it’s only on Apple TV, but it’s definitely worth watching!!!!

Does anyone know of a good place where you can get smoked slabs of ribs? I’m not interested in chains like Old Carolina or Mission. I’m looking for a place that’s locally owned preferably. It can be a hole in the wall or a truck for all I care so long as the ribs are good and you get a good bang for your buck.

Anybody know what the burning metal smell is all over the city? I door dashed all over and smell it everywhere.

I am looking for a curly hair cut that isn’t going to cost me a couple hundred dollars. I literally just want to walk in, sit down, have my hair cut by someone who knows how to cut curly hair and then leave. I don’t need all the conditioning and teaching and blah blah blah that comes with the $250/$300 costs I’m seeing at all these curly salons around here. I’m new to the area and I’m blown away at these prices. I’m not sure who’s paying these prices but this is crazy! I just want my hair cut. It’s just that simple. I just simply need someone who is knowledgeable in curly hair. I am willing to pay extra for that knowledge but not $300 extra.

Help!

Hi! This might sound random, but I’m hoping someone local can help jog my memory.

About 10-12 years ago, I visited a licensed psychologist in Canton for some diagnostic testing. The office was on a tree-lined street (thinking big trees closer to the road), and I specifically remember having to park in the back, where there was a separate entrance. The door and office were right there on the ground floor.

There were names on the wall of the psychologists or other staff, and I remember one of the rooms was dimly lit. Like no overhead light and maybe just a lamp in the corner.

I remember there being multiple rooms/doors inside, as there was at least one other client waiting for counseling the day I was there. I think this was for ADHD or psychological testing, so I’m assuming the provider did both therapy and clinical assessments. The psychologist I spoke to that day was a woman, can't remember her name for the life of me.

Does this ring a bell for anyone familiar with local psychologists or mental health clinics in Canton during that time?

Thanks so much ...I’d love to reconnect with this info! Random, I know, but I wanted a record from that office. Thank you!!

I moved from Northeast Canton when I was 9 in 2012, and haven’t been back since. I spent a lot of my years there in Northeast Canton in my dad’s childhood home, which he owns. I asked him about it and he said it would be possible to give me the house, but said “We left Canton in the first place because there’s no future there.” He lived there for 37 years of his life, so I was kind of surprised when he was so down on it. I get why, but living there for the first 10 years of my life made me nostalgic, even if we didn’t live in a great neighborhood. Is it as bad as it was? It has been so long that I was just wondering if it got better, because I may move back because there is just a childhood home sitting there.
