One of its first tests has come in an investigation against a Kent State University adjunct professor who has been accused of anti-Christian bias, which he denies.

Cleveland Boomers Are Moving Under An Hour Away To One Of America's Most Affordable Cities For Retirees
Cleveland rocks, but not necessarily for retirees. Major cities can be a challenge to retire in for a number of reasons, and so many of Cleveland's seniors have felt an uncontrollable urge to move to smaller cities and towns in their golden years. They're not always looking far, though. One of the most popular places to retire to from Cleveland is another more affordable Ohio city just 40 miles away: Akron, the Rubber Capital of the World.

Hudson unveils concept for housing, hotel and more at Clinton Crossing
Hudson officials who viewed preliminary plans for Clinton Crossing commended plans, although the number of townhomes and the potential for increased traffic in the downtown area raised concerns. This initial concept is the result of a series of public meetings conducted by the city, Thomas Sheridan, Hudson's city manager, said at the city planning commission's Nov. 9 meeting, where plans were shared. Rather than having a developer come up with the plans, Hudson residents were asked to contribute their ideas. Clinton Crossing, formerly called Downtown Phase II , is a 21-acre city-owned property located along Morse Road, Owen Brown Street and Clinton Street. The site was the former location of the Hudson Schools bus garage, the city's Public Works facility, the city salt dome, a building which had a theater space and an Italian restaurant, and the Windstream building. Nick Sugar, the city planner, said Hudson has invested about $11 million to date in acquiring and preparing the Clinton Crossing property. The property was obtained "with the expectation that future development would incorporate some taxable uses to help recover this investment," according to city documents. What is being proposed? The initial concept includes: 33 single-family detached homes ranging from 1,600

Pet of the Week, 11/11/26
Teeny, tiny pups are the right choice for some people. Easy to care for because of their size, able to be a constant companion, because they are mobile. And, absolutely adorable to look at! But be careful … You don’t wanna step on her! They can also get “under feet” which can be a concern for the adopter and the pup!

San Marino Italian Restaurant is an Old World feast | Local Flavor
Our advice? Bring an appetite. The portions are huge at San Marino Italian Restaurant . If you can make it through an entire plate of food in one sitting, you are remarkable. We didn’t even come close. My wife, Susie, and I had a feast on our first visit to the restaurant at 3071 Albrecht Ave. in Springfield Township on the outskirts of Ellet in Akron. Brothers Bill and Perry Thompson are the chefs and owners of the restaurant, which opened in 2024 at the former Eldorado’s Pizza & Sports Bar. If the architecture looks familiar, the building began in the 1960s as a Lawson’s convenience store and later served as a Dairy Mart. The chefs use Northern Italian recipes passed down for five generations in the DeNisi and Marinucci families. That includes their mother’s meatballs and their grandmother’s Italian wedding soup. Their uncle Perry “Butch” DeNisi owned Perry’s Pizza in Los Angeles, which had more than 30 locations in California and Hawaii. The restaurant appeared in the 1982 movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” The brothers pride themselves on authentic cuisine carefully prepared with fresh ingredients and scratch-made sauces and dressings. The YouTube series “America’s Best Restaurants” paid a

Tradition Alive: New Era Restaurant
When it’s time to make strudel at New Era Restaurant, Soka Milanko makes the dough in-house — then stretches it on a table, by hand, until it’s thin enough to add in the filling of either apples or cheese. She then wraps the pastry, cutting it into thirds.

City Council OKs Malik plan to unlock potential of older Akron homes
The city of Akron is making it easier to invest in its vast stock of aging homes by eliminating another obstacle to their reuse. Under current zoning regulations, Akron Planning Director Kyle Julien said, 86% of land in the city that allows residential uses "is zoned exclusively for single-family homes." Thanks to a change unanimously adopted Nov. 9 by Akron City Council, residential properties that do not quite fit the description – so-called legal nonconforming structures – won't have to be brought into compliance with modern zoning rules within two years as previously required. The step, coupled with another recent zoning change that sets aside lot-size requirements, is one Mayor Shammas Malik's administration hopes will encourage a wave of community renewals. Across the last 30 years of the 20th century, Akron abandoned the idea of neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, opting instead for neighborhoods dedicated to single-family homes, Julien said. But bringing homes built prior to that push into compliance limited property buyers' possibilities. "This requirement can be challenging or even impossible to meet. It's not easy to turn a duplex into a single-family home," Julien said, "and you can't add land to a parcel to meet the
