    Akron is just a crab in barrel city at this point. it's nothing here to keep anyone's interest no more. the city has become a retirement city. once u eliminate things in the city more situation comes with it( higher crime rates). The whole city is compromised. each section has it's good patch and bad patch area no different from anywhere else. what makes this city bad is the crime per. this city is small so everything will double in a smaller populated place. this city has become confusing to me (my opinion only). why is everything getting directed towards downtown now?and it isn't nothing that great about downtown other than historical buildings and lot 3 lol ijs
