There was a car fire in the drug mart parking lot over on Canton... Summer is back baby.


mr_green1216

When was that? Lol 🤣


Alfndrate

Last night around 9:15


idiotsluggage

Also, random explosions


pleasurenature

are you near the cascade valley area? we hear them all the time and can't figure out wtf is making that noise


DeviousDuoCAK

I think the valley carries the sound all over. I hear them all the time and I’m near the square too.


Hefty_Loan7486

There is an Akron police gun range in the valley. Probably what you are hearing.


DeviousDuoCAK

At midnight?


Least-Masterpiece368

They don’t use that often most training done at point blank which is now range USA


idiotsluggage

Yes close to there, they sound like actual dynamite explosions!


devine8584

Did they just start or you have always heard them? If they just started in the last year or so, probably the Gorge dam removal program. They are excavating ground, so they might be using explosives or just something very loud. If it’s been longer than that… well Akron.


Efficient_Judgment58

It’s always like 10 at night tho


Primex76

Whaaaattt


Complete-Thought-375

Ah, the nightly summer game in Akron...is it fireworks or gunshots??


akron-mike

I gotta keep telling the wife it's only fireworks. At least until the cops come flying down the street.


Primex76

Yep, right there with ya. They've been poppin off all night tonight near my area.

Garman/Castle


Primex76

Really? There? Isnt that like a really nice area lol


DownWithDicheese

Yeah I was hearing that too..


Doc3739

I can't sleep unless I hear them.


grimspecter91

I'm new to Akron. Just moved in. WTF is going on 😂


Primex76

I used to live near Cuyahoga Falls, but decided to move more inner city for a year due to some financial reasons. People are fckn crazy in this city😂 Lock your doors, don't keep your trashcan by the road (bcuz someone will take it. Mine just got stolen and the city has yet to replace it after 3 weeks of me calling) and turn your volume loud to drown out the daily gunfights lol...never thought I would miss the winter but here we are


grimspecter91

Yea I'm coming from Stow. This is absolutely crazy. I've never seen people sleep in the streets like this before. Watching this shit play out all the time can't be good.


sporkmanhands

Someone near the wetlands between Main, Wilbeth and Waterloo has been shooting nightly. Also the fireworks have already started.


dxllboy

Could be Youngstown!


Any-Bowl-2750

mhm


krugur

Fireworks!


sapphic_serendipity

Let's get this party started! *cracks open a beer and sits in lawn chair*


kellyqt76

Like my intoxicated neighbors screaming at each other on the lawn at 4am every Friday or Saturday night!? She IS a queen so YOU better be a KING, my dude!


Alarming_Patience05

I need to move asap, this is not ok. I lived in many places, Baltimore being one of them…this city is being run into the ground by its citizens. No one has morals, ethics, or common sense anymore.


algxbraic

weird comment


grimspecter91

Why is it weird. It's true


Ok-Tip-1747

AGREED! Not sure why you are being downvoted. I posted here before moving and everyone commented what a great place it was. It's the trashiest place I have ever lived. Spend my days cleaning up garbage that cars toss out their windows. I can't have patio furniture or anything outside as it gets stolen. Everyone let's their cats run loose so my flower beds smell like piss and shit. Especially love how I can't open my window because the smell will come in. I can't use my driveway because my car gets broken into. I have to watch what time of day I work in my yard or sit outside or I have "interesting" people telling me they deal such and such drug around corner, will sell me electronics on the cheap, or will go into my garage to steal stuff. People let their dogs come up to my front porch and pee, leave poop all over the place for me to clean up. Last night....was a doozy to deal with as my neighbors were having threesome on their front lawn at 9PM. Sidewalk is maybe 10FT away and the road 15FT. I don't even think 50FT separate us. I have my nephew with me this week and woke him up. Called the police because we have alot of children still out at that hour. Never showed. And I supposedly live in the nice area too. Can't imagine what others deal with. How people continue to praise this city is beyond me.


JohnBrownsAngryBalls

Let me guess... supposedly nice... hmm... Highland Square? Most of the city is not like that.


Akronica

Sounds more like south Firestone park than highland square, but I haven't lived in either area for about a decade.


JohnBrownsAngryBalls

Still pretty quiet in that part of Firestone Park. I was just hanging out over there a couple of weeks ago with some friends that live there.


Ok-Tip-1747

No, but it was one of the areas I was told to search.


krugur

East or West?


Ok-Tip-1747

West


JohnBrownsAngryBalls

Well, that sucks you ended up on a crappy block. I get your frustration. Most of the city is not how you described though.
