THE AKRONIST VISITS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK PARTY

It's no secret that Goodyear Heights knows how to put on a great block party, and it was certainly in evidence on August 1st during the national Night Out Against Crime neighborhood celebration. Each year in cities all across the country, neighbors gather to share information, get info from law enforcement on how to keep their community safe, and generally have fun getting to know each other!

The annual event takes place in neighborhoods all over Akron, but the biggest party of all happens right here in Goodyear Heights, in front of the Linda Theater. Local businesses, community groups, entertainers and residents all shared in the fun, with hundreds of people congregating on Goodyear Boulevard. Much of the credit for the even goes to R.I.G.H.T. president Sharon Connor, who helps organize the event and bring it all together.
