Horrible Situations Here in Canton, Ohio 1.5 rating By Skarla ( Sep 16, 2017) Moved here 6 years ago. Let's put it this way, I am 19 streets away from downtown Canton. Our garage was robbed within the first month of living here. The neighbors have also had theft. Stolen A/C units, busted open sheds. The police and health department do not have time, nor do ...Read More they care to help this situation. We are currently house hunting to go and live in another city. If you like trash all over the alleyways and overgrown yards then Canton is what you are looking for! Want robbed if something isn't bolted down to your yard, garage or porch?? Canton is right for you! They seem to be cleaning up the downtown area of Canton and the harsh reality is settling in for us who are not located downtown. What was once a beautiful area of Canton is now a heap of trash. Read Less
Canton, Ohio: A Great Family Destination 4 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 27, 2010) My husband and I spent five days in May 2010 visiting Canton, Ohio. The friendly people really make Canton a great place to visit. We stayed at the Days Inn at 8392 Market Street. While this hotel is not fancy it is very reasonably priced and clean. One of the must see things in ...Read More Canton is the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Even if someone is not a huge football fan this is still a very interesting place to visit. We also have a AAA card, so we got a small discount on the price of admission here.

The second day of our trip we spent a few hours visiting the Canton Classic Car Museum. While I didn't really care for this museum, my husband loved it. You definitely need to have a love for cars to enjoy this museum. The second night in the city we went to eat at Pileggi Italian Cafe which is located on Easton Street. I would take another vacation to Canton just to eat at this restaurant. The food at Pileggi was by far the best Italian food I have ever eaten.

The third day of our trip we spent visiting the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum. I was very surprised at how wonderful this museum was. I could have spent all day in this museum alone. After spending just a few days in the city of Canton, Ohio it has become one of my favorite vacation destinations. Read Less
