Unclaimed funds

2 Upvotes

Has anyone filed for unclaimed funds since it was announced that the new stadium was going to be funded from that account? How long did it take for you to get your funds if so? The website says it could take up to 120 days or more. I submitted my claim and supporting docs in March.

Best bakery for unique bread, specifically hot dog buns.

I’m looking to make some Chicago style hot dog buns as original as possible and didn’t know if anywhere around town would actually have hot dog buns with black sesame seeds on them? If not somewhere that just makes good, fresh hot dog buns as a viable option?

Anyone need fall cleanup or leaf removal around Akron?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I own a small landscaping business called Otherside Landscaping and Lawncare out of the Portage Lakes area.

I recently left my full-time job to focus on growing my business, and I'm looking to pick up some more work before winter hits.

With all the leaves falling, I'm currently offering fall cleanups, leaf removal, bush trimming, cutting back plants, gutter cleaning, and general yard cleanups. I can also haul everything away so you don't have to deal with it.

I work around Akron, Green, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Uniontown, and the surrounding areas.

I'm happy to give free estimates, and no job is too small to ask about.

If anyone needs some work done or knows someone who does, feel free to shoot me a message. I'd really appreciate the opportunity!

Thanks everyone!

Looking for some fellow metal heads to jam with

8 Upvotes

Metal drummer (don't smoke, drink, or do drugs) looking for some like minded people to jam with. I run an ekit, but have a 550watt speaker for it, so volume isn't an issue. Not looking for anything serious, but I miss playing with people. I can play quite a bit of different stuff (within limits, ofc lol), and have recently been working on more extreme metal skills. The bands I'm enjoying playing right now are Slipknot, Rivers of Nihil, Orbit Culture, and other heavier bands/songs with fast double bass. Also like playing slower stuff, and can catch on to anything quickly. Architects, Imminence, Spiritbox, Vana, ASAVA, and Fit For A King have been some of my favorites lately, but that changes by the day sometimes lol hit me up if you wanna jam and just rock the hell out.

Oh, also, I live in an apartment and can't practice with other people here. I'm walking a thin line with the downstairs neighbors as it is 😆

Save me from Chili’s

• Upvotes

I’m having some work done in my kitchen this week so we “have to” go out for a few days. We don’t go out much as a family and I really want to try some new places. My kids are being kids and really want to go to Chili’s, Cane’s, Swenson’s, etc. I want to try to Green Dragon Inn but they are poo-pooing that idea bc it “doesn’t sound filling or fun.” My next choice was buckets but they’re closed Monday and Tuesday. They are fans of traditional American restaurant cuisine. I have one vegetarian who loves junk food and one kid who hates pizza but likes sushi and fried chicken. Neither of them like Rockne’s. We’re in West Akron. What would you choose that’s a sit down place and not a chain?

Ps I have no problem with chains and occasionally enjoy them but just looking for something different this week.

Foundation Repair Contractors

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Bought a house in Akron last year, it's older and needs some work. We took off the "vanity panels" or whatever they're called on the front of the porch and found a real shady "foundation." And it looks like a couple of the "blocks" if I'm even allowed to call them blocks, are starting to fail.

Two foundation walls of the home were replaced by previous owner, and I suspect was water proofed as well. Naturally, the other two, including the front wall with the porch, were not replaced yet-- probably needs done in the next couple years. Who does good work? Who should we stay away from?

Tldr: porch needs foundation repair, maybe two walls of home too. Any recommendations for Akron contractors?
