Canton is a mix of beautiful history and disappointment. I grew up going to Hall of Fame parades, football games, and festivals. The ribs burn off was my favorite. We went to these events without fear or hesitation. Now as an adult, with a family, I am hesitant at taking my kids out to these events. I long for those days of staying downtown past dark without fear. Canton is comprised of good, hardworking people, caring people. It is full of beautiful, dilapidated architecture. I do give the city credit, they are doing everything they can to keep downtown alive. Before we had kids, my husband and I loved to go to dinner and drinks downtown. Our first date was at Basil we had our first kiss in the parking lot! I have very fond memories of the city and I would love to add to them with our growing family. After COVID has passed and we can all be around each other again, my hope is that everyone can come together to restore what we all love about Canton. I'm looking forward to it.
So much to do! Great people! Tons of working opportunities! I recommend Canton to many people! We live in a safe area where we do not feel threatened. The schools around have many great programs and activities for kids. The schools in the area are great about involving parents and families. There is always fun community activities going on depending on the season and time of year. Tons of shopping accessible in the area. Fun things to do with pets and kids. One of my favorite family friendly activities is the splash pads in the summer in various towns all over Canton. In the Winter there are fun families is the ice skating and Christmas tree lighting and festivities around that time of year. Also, the bar district in the downtown canton area is fun and themed for the football hall of fame. The city has been updated with fun lighting, sidewalks, and great outdoor spots.
Canton is a very diverse area with great schools, food, entertainment, and job, opportunities! However, one of the few drawbacks to Canton is the crime rate. In some areas it can be a problem, but on average you won't have to deal with it.
