5/5Excellent

“A great place to be on any night of the week...”

Let me begin by saying that Main Street in Akron has come along way over the years. It used to be the place that I would avoid, but now I look forward to going to Akron--especially during the evenings for entertainment, food, cultural activities, and so forth....Full review

5/5Excellent

“Family road and handy sidewalk”

Crosby Street is what you would dream of if you have a family with small children. It is a street with not so much traffic, mainly locals, a school at one end and lovely colonial style houses on both sides, some white, some green or blue. The side of the road...Full review

3/5Average

“Mental health and other health problems”

Entering the road you find really nice building blocks on the left hand side, probably a relatively expensive area. Carrying on you meet an imposing white building on the right hand side: here you may go to find solace for mental health problem, or to meet a p...Full review

2/5Poor

“Office buildings only”

Driving through this large road is pleasant if you are used to narrow streets and lots of traffic: over here you are not likely to find neither of those. However, it is not really a street to consider if you are on holiday and wish to find a bit of spicy night...Full review

4/5Good

“Driving through a nice looking road”

One way street direction north, nice red brick buildings on the left hand side and some relaxing looking trees. Once you pass the modern glass building on the left hand side, just facing some old and grim apartment blocks, you drive through a most modern set o...Full review

West Exchange Street, Akron, Ohio

4.5/5

“Urban Vibe in downtown Akron”

- MLiebers
Just to the east of route 59, W Exchange Street goes through a really interesting part of downtown Akron. After a small inner city park, Perkins Square, is the baseball stadium, Canal Park. Even far...Full review

South Broadway Street, Akron, Ohio

4.5/5

“A Quiet part of the city with some cool things to do.”

- MLiebers
South Broadway most importantly passes by the National Inventors Hall of Fame - this is a great family trip. It also crosses through the middle of the "Quaker Square", which is where a lot of festiva...Full review

North Main Street, Akron, Ohio

4.5/5

“Market and Main”

- MLiebers
Where main street intersects with Market is colloquially called "Market and Main". This is one of the best places in town to walk instead of drive with the large sidewalks and pleasant atmosphere. T...Full review

East Mill Street, Akron, Ohio

4.5/5

“East-West through downtown Akron”

- MLiebers
East Mill cuts through the business section of town, which includes passing by the First Merit Tower, John S. Knight Center. Naturally, there are a lot of great lunch places to grab a bite to eat aro...Full review
