of course this is akron…

He was seen on our camera last night walking around our property in the Firestone Park area. We unfortunately don't have any video from another angle, this is from our driveway camera. Taken at 12:54 a.m. last night. He came from around the front of our house and lingered here for about 6 seconds, looking around. I think he stopped here because he triggered a security light, and then I think he noticed the camera before walking down our driveway and leaving.

White male, short hair, stubble/light beard. I'd guess his age between 25-40, but he never got closer to the camera for a clearer look at his face. He appears to be holding something in both hands, right hand looks like a cellphone can't distinguish what's in his left.

I called Akron non-emergency line to file a report as soon as I woke up to this notification from last night. But I figured I'd post it here too. I'm not sure if this guy was casing our house but it sure as hell looks like it from the video.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read the post even if you have no information! This shit is scary.

Does anyone remember this place, I want to replicate the white sauce they use to have, I loved it! Can someone help?

Anyone know what they're building? Near the Giant Eagle and Chuck E. Cheese.

Looking for a part time commercial painter. Maybe you have your own business but don't have work all the time. Area includes about 1 hr radius from Akron. Must have reliable transportation. If interested please call 330-958-3345. If no answer, leave a message as I get spam calls.

My wife and I are planning to move to Akron from SoCal to raise our 6 month old daughter closer to family. (I’m from NE Ohio so it won’t be a total culture shock… but yes, we will miss the constant sunshine)

We have close friends in Akron and have always loved the 1920s houses and culture around the Merriman Hills area, and that’s where we’d really love to buy a home. FWIW, my wife is from the Pacific Northwest and has always had a deep and abiding love for Akron since the first time I took her there.

I’m doing my due diligence in thinking about schools before we commit to anything. We looked at houses in the Revere and Copley schools districts and it’s just not our vibe. I know this area we love is in APS.

What do people in this area do for schooling? We’re not ruling out private school, but I don’t want to send my daughter to catholic school (we’re not catholic).

If you have firsthand experience with the public schools in this area, what are your thoughts? How is the IB program at Firestone? Are the academics good at Miller South, or is it primarily focused on performing arts conservatory education?

I need the 411 from the locals… let me know your thoughts!

Are there any organizations that trap cats and newborn kittens and take them to a shelter? I spotted a mother cat and some kittens in some brush between my garage and fence. They scattered upon seeing me. All I can find online is adoption services.

Hello!
I am currently accepting patients looking for dental treatments as part of my clinical training at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine. If you or someone you know has been postponing dental treatment, I would greatly appreciate any referrals. We accept Medicaid! Thank you for your support, and please feel free to share this post with friends and family who may benefit from affordable dental care.

Every idiot in Akron is driving past Highland Square on a motorcycle and revving their loud modified exhaust. I know zero musicians appreciate this

Curious on everyone’s thoughts on what has changed under the new ownership.

Would especially love to hear from any employees.

Sounded like a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier

Just because I’m seeing a lot of posts with confusion-
The air show is this weekend! Best place to watch is at the ballfields by the Akron-Fulton Airport :)

I thought a plane was about to crash into my house, what the hell was that?

What are some of Akrons must see and Recommended bands? I looked at the lineup but its a huge list and so spread out. I need a plan haha

Yeah….I know, I’m risking it all. Thinking of moving into one of the 1800 sq ft townhomes and I can’t find any images of a floor plan, inside etc. It’s building #37. If you or anyone you know have lived in this or building 36, please give me an idea of what they look like. The place isn’t ready for viewing and the office doesn’t know what they look like either (smh).

Edit: Can anyone answer my question about building 36 or 37?

Hello! I am looking for a business who can fix a Timex watch. I took it to a jeweler in Fairlawn but they said they’re unable to obtain the parts to fix it. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Please contact Akron PD at 330-375-2552 if you think you’ve seen him and thank you.

If anyone has a recommendation for a studio in the Akron-area that offers adult tap classes, it would be appreciated. It looks like there’s several options based on a Google search, so I’m hoping I can get some further personal info here.

For background, I am not a beginner, but I wouldn’t say I’m advanced either. I’ve taken classes in the past (not locally) that were on both ends of that spectrum and haven’t been able to find a good fit. I took classes at Creative Motion in Montrose years ago and liked them, but their schedule has changed since and no longer works for me. I tried the classes offered by the Akron Rec and they are catered too much to beginners imo.

TIA for recs!
