Canton is a crossroads — of old-timers and newcomers, of artists and laborers, of families who’ve called it home for generations and those just arriving, hungry for possibility.

"It was something to do during the winter," said Nervo, who owns S&M Winery in Canal Fulton with her life partner, Steve Geiger. She said appreciation from friends pushed it farther.
