Can you tell me if Skoops is opening this summer?
Looks like we need a new Tennis coach.
When is Burger King coming to Barberton?
They aren’t. They went bankrupt and so did the city.
Did any of the Firemen take a pay cut?
Hahaha…..good one.
I wonder how fossils of sea life are found in the mountains? Maybe the climate has changed before? Nah!! They must have had wings back then!!! *WARNING* Expect climate change today!! Its gonna start out a little chilly then its going to warm up!!
Mike Soyars needs to run for office.
Guys like Soyars and Lysenko from the past are all the same. They are decent rep’s but have no desire to run for mayor. Lysenko did a half arse run a couple of years ago but he had zero campaign idea’s and no plan if he did get elected. Let’s face it, this town is a complete mess. The only way to fix this town would be a good natural disaster and then have the orange menace get you some funds to re-build. You have zero foundation to build upon and most of your residents live off government handouts. Game over, sell and leave while you can. Then the trolls on this forum can stay here with the trash !
IDK.I still think a jimmy johnboys on every corner might just pull us outta this mess!!! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
World ends in 12 years anyway!!! 🌎🌋🌪⚡☄🔥🌊❄💥💥💥💥
Who’s Lysenko?
Don’t despair. Remember that the Green Hornet has thrown his hat into the ring and is running for Mayor. Let’s give a political outsider a chance. The powers that be don’t seem to satisfy many Viewsline readers. Make Barberton Great Again…go Green Hornet!
Soyars for Mayor
No more DEMO-crats!
I hope the City of Barberton is aware of the liability they assumed by taking over Slovene Center, when a function is scheduled and takes place there are people coming and going and alcohol is being served. Even if Slovene has all the proper liability insurance including liquor liability the owner of the property will also be held accountable for any occurrence which may happen. I haven’t heard of any other City who owns a club which serves alcohol ….. have you !
Maybe the City is listening to the fortune telling mediums that say our future is ice skating and breweries???
When is the city going to take over Francois and get us some better dancers ?
E I E I O
Out of the 3 people that go to this place, 2 don’t drink. Go WINE somewhere else.
how about we only post when this city and it’s so called leadership makes a wise decision ? * insert crickets here *
every decision made by your current group is clearly made with no real thought process or financial number crunching
VOTE HORNET !! Of course he has no real chance but the total number of votes he get’s shows how bad Judge really is. Bet the Hornet gets over 1000.
You would lose that bet dork face. No one in this town votes. Bunch of rental properties and white trash living by lake Anner. AMHA bringing in all the leftover scum from Akron and even Cleveland (like the fire people).Crimsin terrass, projects, Al Peter, Tusk sky rise and West side building are not gonna get you too many votes. Same reason why our schools are at a D rating. Half these kids do not have Mommy and Daddy to help cheat on projects and do homework for them. (or help them study the right way ) Open your eyes or better yet keep them closed and vote for a fictional character. This aint 1976 for cryin out loud.
Dang Big Dorky, you are scaring me into NOT moving to Barberton. I sure hope you’re not on Barberton’s tourist attraction board
Your rant has been posted on here 100 times over by myself and others. My post was about our cruddy leadership and that the hornet has no chance. his number of votes will send a message to your cruddy leadership. stay on topic next time and don’t just blurt out a post. Back off the caffeine and chill wee man
I’m confused. Why are there so many geese at lake Ann? Can’t we get dogs there to scare them away?
They have to drain all the water out so the geese will go to another place where there is water. Dogs are not allowed at Lake Annie.

How about move
GREEN HORNET FOR MAYOR!!!
Too bad he’s the only one trying to run. Everyone in town thinks they can do better but only one name in the hat to challenge.
Indeed yes! The Hornet would shake up things at City Hall. He could do for Barberton as Donald Trump has done for America. MAKE BARBERTON GREAT AGAIN and put the Green Hornet at the helm!
Hornet is a DEMO-crat so probably not.
The whole town is Democrat dummy. Been like that for years. Always will be. Move now!
You should MOOOOoooove. Pack it up, ship it out. Go move to Mexifornia.
Your mom standing in front of slovene won’t let me move !
Call the Fire Dept to help, they would love the overtime. So does your sister.
Will they show up in the Purple Pump-her?
If you want it come and take it from me.If you think you can you still dont know me.Let me tell you man i said it.I meant it and i will always have the right to defend it!👅🥜🌰.
Civil War is coming!!
I’ve been saying that for the last 15 years.
Just watched the last council video.Pretty good stuff.Very surprised an old white man is allowed in their ranks.MV.Had an Akron firefighter blaming the far right for the lack of cash while at the same time hes bursting out of his undersized suit coat! He hungry!🤣🤣.50 something women who wanna pretend they are hip and dressing like theyre 15 and sippin on a latte.Ha ha.Then i noticed an article about a another demonrat(hypocrite) talking to kids about drugs while at the same time his brother is one of the biggest drug dealers around!! 🤣🤣.You cant make this shit up folks!!! Im convinced more than ever we are screwed!!!
How do i get through to these keeeeds!!! Well.You pretend.Like always!!

Can you smell what the Rock is cookin?
Smells I lil fishy to me.
I smell hair!! smells delicious!!
I can smell what the firemen are cooking, and it aint ramen noodles from Giant Eagle. Steaks from Leaches and Ribs from Green Diamond.
I see the Barberton all football boosters is having a fundraiser the same night as the Softball fundraiser. How does this happen? Same person in charge that schedules the firemen staff?
draw your conclusions.Solutions? anybody else wanna run?
I’m in!
Run rabbit. Ruuun rabbit.
What do you leave the city to buy because you cannot find it here? Lets hear it?

Swensons
Democrats have ruined this city.
First time in Barberton in 2 years. Looks good and lots to do. Good job Mayor Judge.
🤲 ma handouts!! i want some free shit!!
You Trump tards are clueless. The cities demise has been a direct result of leadership that had and currently has no vision for the future and or economic common sense. Big whoop if your prev mayor [s] has been democrat. Party affiliation has no bearing on local works. Compare Wadsworth and Barberton 25 years ago. Barberton had jobs and Wadsworth way a rural speed bump. Now look at the 2. One community planned and crunched numbers for the future while the other planned no retail development while at the same time good paying jobs left in the middle of the night. Simple. Stick to your soap opera’s and judge judy. The orange menace loves his blind followers.
Do you know how to read? Apparently not.
Yes.Thats it!!! We need more retail shopping!! If you build it they will come….destroy it! We need jimmy johns on every corner.That will help! ORANGE MAN BAD!!! Wanna generate some cash in Barberton? Hand out some traffic tickets to the ample supply of effing idiots driving around!!! 😁😁😁😁
The collusion delusion!!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Look folks☝️it doesnt matter democrat or republican on a local level as long as you vote demonrat.Get it got it good.And you trumptards better watch your soaps and judge judy and what not while youre WORKING.GEEZ some(half) the people!!
Just a rural speed bump!!! Ha haaaa.You should move there now that its a big ole city!!! C’mon girlfriend just go!!! More money!!! More tax dollars!!! More progress!!! More!!! More!!! More!!!! More!!! More!!!More!!! More!!! I think we’re going to more ourselves right out of existence in the name of progress!!! Im all for it!!!
So. You are saying Barberton’s down falls are Trumps fault ? Okay…..are you enjoying living in your Mama’s basement ?
@GOP Might be an understatement!!
Bidge look like James Earl Jones in Conan the Barbarian!! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Pre-snake? or both?
The Rock says this… The Rock says if you are 4 ft tall and wear goofy hats you should run in the next election. If you fly radio controlled planes and think you are sweet you should run in the next election. The Rock says this… know your roll and know if your a troll…..If you smmmeeeelllllllllll what the Rock….is…..cookin.
I dont smell no dinner cookin!!!
VOTE NO on any and all new levies, increases, and renewals. Enough is enough! Time to take back our city!
👍
Brewery leaving. Thank God there is one less bar in town. Need more churches. Amen.
Brewery and bar are not the same.
Says who? you? That place was poorly run anyways. Better off with a shoe store or overpriced suits.
2 whores walked into my bar.They loved my watered down liquor
and we pay a planning director how much to see these businesses leave?
there is 43 more of them in town. who cares.
name em smart azz
Planning director has nothing to do with a disgruntled employer pulling out of Barberton because he’s butt hurt. Thanks Barbara mckinny
never use the words pulling out and butt hurt in the same sentence.☝️
You need to MOVE! Pack the box truck and GO! Go live in the BIBLE BELT.
Smoke ’em while you can.
Man i didnt even inhale! Besides i was just holding the reefers for my momma.She got her medical card
All you folks who were backing the Fire Department are awfully quiet these days. Kind of like all the Liberals zipping it after the Mueller Investigation.
This just in: Fire = Money
cut all the salaries in half and double the staff
I like your style!!! Not your smell though!!!
Why attack the fire dept when the same stuff is much more rampant at the schools. Your municipal workers have been ripp’in us off for decades now, Your teachers slack off 4 months a year and teach little Jimmy with computer programs and video’s, yawn ! They rank in the bottom 60-70 districts state wide.Your municipal workers sip polar pops and scratch lotto tics while you are paying $300 for a busted ball joint after you hit a pond sized chuck hole. Your mayor laid a bunch of people off and while causing wide spread panic and then after a 2nd number crunch everything is now ok. Can you imagine Bill Judge doing carpentry work? The ole measure twice cut once would not be his strong suit.
don’t change the subject carl. they should be arrested for cheating the system. shame on them. and the crackhead heroin users are keeping them rolling in the doe. go blow smoke somewhere else blind boy
I think everyone complaining is just jealous that they dont have a job there !!
Advice to Firefighters…Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton!
Donald J Trump greatest American to ever live!!! Maga!!! 2020
the pensions these guys get will put the city into bankruptcy in about 5-10 years is my guess
The J. Crazy rumor of low-income housing in Norton is totally innacurrate as usual. Therefore, looks like he might need to find another place to live, preferably in a different city. Make Norton Great Again.
Read the Herald
All these people complaining about the Mayor. Look at the money made by these Giant Eagle Fireshoppers. Are you serious? Check thief’s.
The fire department absolutely disgusts me. I hope you realize that the pensions they receive will pay them about 75% of their top 5 years average salary. Guys making $100K will retire and collect $6K a month for life from a city that is losing its tax dollars base as jobs leave town. This is insane and why cities are cutting services where they can.
And half do not even live in Barberton.
that’s why they are driving trucks, floating boats, buying land down south and living in upscale houses outside of city limits
Same old, same old.
I heard that too and if anyone disagrees they are racist.
Fake News is the new heroin!!
Self inflicted lead is the new narcan!! Now lets keep paintin!!
Funny how mail can make it to Akron from Wisconsin in hours.It then takes days for Akron to get it to Barberton. Not one packaged delivered on time! I wonder why usps is failing so miserably? huh.I wonder.
Call Bethany Mckinnley to help out.
why would i do that? you put too much faith in your pos politicians.
she gone
That’s nothing, wait until Barberton Post Office gets a hold of it and screws it all up.
never had a problem
Consider yourself lucky because Barberton Post Office has been going downhill since the early 1990’s. Either you don’t get mail or you haven’t lived in Barberton long enough, or, quite possibly you DON’T live in Barberton and you are just responding as if you really do.
Actually i take that back.I have had mail delivered to the neighbors and vice versa.Nothing major though.What issues have you been having? As for your projecting that i DONT live in Barberton my family has been here since Barberton was Norton and New Portage.That long enough?
25+ years of issues with the Post Office around here, really, I would have no idea where to even begin to bore you with that list.
Unfortunately i had to work in that town all week.Witnessed on average 5.7 drug deals per day.Thats just the blatant right in front of my eyes deals.Im sure there were many others i didnt see.Pretty confident that less than 40% work.I fear for my life working in that place.It is lawless.
Does anybody else besides me and my co workers have a problem with the eastbound red light on Robinson at 5th st. At 3:30-4:00am, the light stays red! Me and my buddies have either ran the light or shortcutted through the bank or Giant Eagle! This has been going on for at least 10 yrs. Public official told me it’s a long light, sat there for 10 minutes one time and then treated it as a 4 way stop. Now the police are cracking down, instead of taking a longer route or sitting there until daylight, maybe then we should fix the light, the police know about the problem does anybody else? Just trying to get to work that’s all !
Did you call the utilities department? Did you call the City building? Did you take the next step to solve the issue? Don’t be part of the problem, say something to help the problem.
Ohio law says you can go through a red light if it has malfunctioned as long as it is safe to do so.
The Rock has come back to B-Town! If you smmmeeellllllllllll what the Rock…. is ……cookin.

Good one soy boy!!! Now get back to your safe space and be sure to recite everything from your fake news.They are the ones destroying this country and should be held accountable.They prey on weak minded sheep.Baaaaaaaa baaaaaaaa.Reality Check?

OOOOOOOHHHHH, You got own3d. leave now move..

I really do believe that a couple of you on here need to have your Physicians double check your dosages. The juvenile Antics on this forum have went beyond ridiculous
MOVE then
Your mom won’t let me
That’s not my mom, its my cousin Bubba. hahahahahahahaha….u got OWN3D!
Maybe the city slackers have more time to post with the budget cuts?

Your mom won’t let me.
Your mamma’s so fat, her belt size is equator.
Thanks Obama!
Youre jobless!!
My friends horse is pregnant! I blame the Mayor.
90% of Barberton streets look like the surface of the moon.I blame your friends horse! P.S.Dont worry you can abort your love child even after its born libtrash! You know,if its not the model you’re going for.
Why the long face Deadassmaster? 90 % of all Ohio streets look like the moon. Was in Zanesville yesterday and wow! Talked with a local at the lil diner I frequent. He says, the mayor is why our streets look this way. I says to him, I says, must be democrat. He says, nope Republican, a horse could do better here. I drank my coffee and galloped away.
Mr.Hed you should try doing 2 seconds of research. Since 2011 a demonrat(Jeff Tilton) has been mayor of Zanesville.Like your fellow democrats youre are full of disinformation!!! Ive heard that Zanesville has an opiate/fentynal problem.You wouldnt be muling drugs down there from Summit Co. on the frequent would ya? Youre being watched!!!
I blame it on RACISM just like everything else.
I blame the firemen!
Im sooo confused.I thought i was born a horse.Turns out im just a jack ass in a horse costume!!!
Tim McCracken should get his head examined. I read your attempt at journalism. All I can say is you are an ignorant idiot. I guess you’d be the first one to complain if your house was on fire and they couldn’t get there in time due to staff shortages,(or confirm that it wasn’t a false alarm first) and with the elimination of auto-aid so no neighboring firefighters would be coming either to save you. What’s your beef with the fire department? Did you try to be a fireman and couldn’t cut it?
Never short handed. Double time and a half to be there. Why wouldn’t you be there. Sooner or later it catches up to you. Stealing pay checks.
I see Acme is hiring. Since I don’t think Mayor Judge will be reelected, maybe he should put in his application so he can work with Mayor Zita.
Norton is a joke. Maybe an internship at the City of Wadsworth should be in order for Mr. Mayor ? Does anyone else think that maybe the local income tax hike from a few years ago has been used to cover up the disaster of a city budget instead of the roads? Very little road improvements made in 2018. Where’s the tax $ ?? It is tough question that city council needs to look in to.
Or maybe towards that nice big house on State Street? Hmmmm…..

CMON!
Bring in the clown car.
You mean the RV
Joker – Joker – Joker
With the current state of affairs in this town, you need to have a sense of humor. Oddly enough if you were a hold an election two weeks from now, I bet the Hornet would give judge a good run for his money. Seriously, what do you have to lose at this point? Your local leadership group has been like a bad episode of The Gong Show for several years now.
Don’t drink the water Realty One. The Green Hornet never won a wrastlin match. He aint winning no election either.
Democrats will lose.
Someone is having a camp fire in Norton and cooking hotdogs and marshmallows. So lets pay Johnny Fireguy Overtime to Drive over the Purple Pumper in full gear to tell them to put out their 24 twig fire. And then blame the potholes.
Read the herald this week.
Green Hornet is next in line!
I bet all the Republicans in town are glad they are closing the jail.
Budget Woes. well, we can layoff people and cut services..let crooks roam the street, why not…also cancel the summer concerts, fireworks, cherry blossom, labor day celebrations, mum fest, put parking meters back up… etc… “a penny here a dollar there”… or we can think Big and just Sell the rest of Tuscora park to Summa, they can build their parking lot and helicopter pad or whatever. They’ll be happy….It’s not much of a park anymore anyways, not kept up well…and We’ll be happy…the City would make enough money get out of the hole and rehire workers. Also, aren’t there still some empty school buildings, we could sell? I just don’t think putting the Citizen’s Safety..is worth the risk. There are Other ways to fix this. Put your thinking cap on… Mr. Mayor!
You aint takin Tusc Park from nobody. Summa cant afford to pay attention. University will take them over soon. They already built their parking lot, open your eyes. “It’s not much of a park anymore anyways”???? WTH are you saying?? The city will make 4 Million to get out of hole??? Stop commenting, you are an idiot.
funny how folks have to keep changing their names to look like different posters, what’s wrong with your REAL name “Ranger?” bashful? may bad about the Lot, fortunately I hadn’t needed to go to the ER lately. didn’t notice. ok…I did go to the Park the other day, and it was a dumping grounds for city leaf trucks and branches of trees and huge flooded areas all over the place. it looked crappy! I did not see anyone enjoying the park, I was the only one there. and usually I am, except for a couple of kids shooting hoops. yes they wont make ALL the money they need…. but it will be a good chunk, we have to start somewhere. an Empty Trashed Park vs Public Safety… hmmmmmm tough choice…. You Think? there are plenty of Metro Parks…Sometimes we have to make sacrifices, esp. when we have a major set back, with B+W leaving us. if you Lost your Job, you don’t go buying a new $ phone, you stock up on food. You get what you Need not what you Want. We Need Fireman and Police.

Real name is Dumbo. He went to the park the other day when it was 3 degrees out and he was the only one there? No DUH! Leaves have not been there for over 2 months. And, couple kids shooting hoops? Not in this weather, BOZO! You didn’t know they built a parking lot? Took over a year. Stick to knitting wise guy, you got OWN3D here. Oh ya one more thing. Amazon will be taking over the B & W building this fall! Pretty much a done deal. Good day!
Fake News!
from what I researched the City made $275,000 just from 4 acres of Tuscora Park. And even if Summa doesn’t have immediate plans for it.. to have pre-acquired the land around it will be a Bargaining chip for any other Medical facility interested in it, if they plan the move on. to know They can expand any time they want without all the “red tape” of acquiring it, will attract more Serious contenders to our city, maybe a nice big burn unit and a children’s wing, like at Rainbow? why not put our City on the Map? (for something other than Chicken Restaurants) think of the Benefits to the Community (not to have to go to Akron) for one thing….and Tax Revenue, when built someday? meanwhile folks who want to hang on to those “PAST childhood memories,” what good is that… doing our economy.??? wake up! grow up….The hospital can create an agreement with the City that until they Plan to develop or sell ..the City may continue to run the Land as a Park for the Citizens and maintain it, thus relieving Summa from that burden, and the property will be TAX FREE.. until such time. I don’t know how many Acres are left, but surely a Million dollars worth! Barberton makes Money… You’ll still have a Park for probably a good while, and someday we’ll have a First Rate Top Notch LARGE Medical Facility. One that will bring Jobs and future Tax revenue ..and Summa will be able to use the Potential to also close a great Deal. It’s a win win..option, esp. when you are a City hurting for money, “that doesn’t grow on trees”… but actually it Could ….from Tuscora Park!……. (and the neighbors to the park, who oppose, will have plenty of time… to put up those “for sale signs”)…….at least something to Think about. huh?
Smoke another one
What are we offended by today?
These Firemen made fools out of themselves. Top dollars paid for out of town employees. Take the money and run! Same with the Community Foundation. Out of town person in charge. These are not Barberton people. These are pay check hungry money mops. How many lieutenants do we need? How bout the mattresses that were donated? Does anybody know why they needed mattresses? Money – the cause of all evil. Take a pay cut then make it back with all the overtime. Put in a little extra. And stop with the poor me mentality. Everyone has a home and family. How much money is wasted on 2 parades per year so we can hear loud sirens?
Fireman Bill-You are a degenerate and just made yourself look like a fool. “Pay check hungry money mops”…you must get everything handed to you and not have to work for a living to take care of yourself and others…or do you play the system and let tax payers with jobs (in which they NEED to support THEIR families) to feed and house you? You are a joke. I hope you aren’t from Barberton…because if so, you are a disgrace to that city. Also- Barberton firemen have it harder than many other fire departments. They are constantly saving lives due to the drug epidemics and other emergency situations in that city. You should go ahead and volunteer at the department once to see what exactly they do before you open your big, dumb mouth again.
Calm down Francis
read the herald
Since you clearly were not present at the council meeting based on your lack of intelligence on this issue, let me set the record straight for you.
Understaffing is what is causing SOME firemen to make so much money. The overtime is outrageous because the city allows it to be. If you hire more firemen, you end up avoiding paying overtime. Those few that made 6 figures WORKED (something you seem to be inexperienced in) 500-700 hours of overtime. They got that much because others did not want to work overtime…thus, understaffing being the problem.
The mattresses (2 were donated out of the 20 needed) because there was a bedbug infestation and the city ignored the problem. The mattresses are needed because these men work 24 hour shifts protecting people of the city.
Next time you’re in a Whambulance, stop by burger joint and get you a Whammy burger.
And you are just as uneducated.
The way they are cheating the system to grab overtime hours is ridiculous.
You and the rest of your immature fools can go back to watching Sesame Street. The real workers and taxpayers are finally reappearing on this forum. Way overdue
They got that much overtime because they were not scheduled to work while others took vacations.
SPOT ON! Those who work within the department do not want people to know that. The general public would be shocked at how much personal time off a tenured firefighter can accumulate. So when a department loses thousands of hours to vacation and personal time you have to hire others to work while others are being paid to stay home
poor management
schedule them to work during others vacations you wont have to pay OT. idiot
good point. EMPLOY more People… instead of over paying current with over high wages…, I agree… expand the Pool of Employees, then you have more to Choose from, when we need extra Manpower for those special Emergencies, esp when you have a “select few” who might want to decline…for various reasons, things do come up…and not Over work the few who are willing to “cover”….. and that goes for ALL businesses…. Less OT…and allow more folks to earn Paychecks. stop the Greed from some who abuse OT…and / or Demanding too Much from the Few who are Willing to work…and spread the Pride of giving Other folks the Ability to be Employed and put food on their table. Even if it is just Part-Time.
The firemen know how to play the system. Norton Fire has 12 full time members and the rest are part time.
Oh, believe me I know. Work 8 days in one month. Can only get away with it for so long. Feel the pressure time and try to put a twist on it.
compare the fire department costs in Wadsworth and Norton to Barberton’s.
Plus he’s a hero!
….and a Democrat.
You might want to start throwing the D and R out the window. Have to make the right decisions that make sense for the people and city. This is not 1976. Randy Hart, where are you?
Amen ! Dem or repub makes NO diff at municipal level’s. It is about vision and planning. This town has had zero for decades ! I thought Genet had a chance to do something, but he was not tied into the local cronie network. We need to pull info and planning from successful communities in the area. There are a few, why not ask for info in order to formulate a plan for the future ? To turn this town around you will need a person with vision, planning and the ability to work hard 12 hours a day. Cashing a paycheck and employing your buddies is not the right formula.
My dentures about fell out when you seemed to imply that Randy Hart was worth a hoot ! A good laugh is always appreciated. The blue collar workers and a pethora of jobs made Randy, he was justa long for the ride.
Get used to it. It was a pretty smooth ride genius. but that not good for u either? his daughter might be next. but what do I know? you are the one that knows everything. Laugh out loud
doesn’t matter Democrat or Republican? that’s just something liberal losers say. Slim chance in this town? I dont think so! last election still not real for ya?
Not sure what u are talking about? Not sure u know what u are talking about?
Time for Republicans to start taking over this town!
Slim chance in this town.
And that is a sad thing too. Democrats will ruin this town like they did to Crackron.
crackron has 40% of the people working while 60% freeloads.Grade A shithole
Whole country is like that Francis
Obama and Democrats made it that way.
Thank you for clearing the roads. Great Job.
Barberton middle school security: I take my grandson to scgool daily and must say that their is no security on all three enterances at the middle school. The school police officer is around breifly waving cars through. The kids or anyone for that matter run wildly in and out at will. The school board needs to use one monitored enterance with a metal detector. Kenmore started doing it years ago and no more weapons are brought in. Lets get with the times and keep the school safe for everyone!
Kenmore is safer than Barberton ?
This has to do with clearing the roads how?
If u had metal detectors wouldn’t it blow the cover of the teachers that carry concealed??
Shovel your sidewalks NOW! Looks like they are giving up. Poorly run business.
Hey city of Barberton plow truck drivers, one of your toggle switches should turn on the salt spreader. Try it. Wake up down there !
Budget cut$
Doesn’t work when it’s this cold dummy. Now go git your sippy cup re-filled.
Salt seems to work just fine over in Norton. Oops, there goes your slacker b.s. propaganda again 🙁
Huh? Nortons roads are awful. Truth hurts Dummy!
Now go drink bad wine.
Seems like you have the alcohol drinking covered for all of us ! Go sleep it off dust head
Salt + snow + brine + snow + salt + plow + salt + plow + bad wine + salt + snow = REPUBLICANS WITH HANDCUFFS
Budget cuts on plowing too? Time to sell the RV!
What about plowing on the north end. ERIE, HURON,ONTARIO
We did. And it looks good. Now go pick up all the dog poop from your cooped up mutt.
Them the Great Lakes. They got salt under them lakes.
We were out all night plowing and salting getting paid time and half so all you winers and pizza eaters can get to work this morning. Now off to catch some z’s on the clock so we can get paid double time this weekend. yawn……..!!!!
Liar. You were not out anywhere.
Geez big daddy warbucks!! U got 20 bucks i can borrow till Wednesday? The following Wednesday….
Just picked up my new diesel 4×4 so you dont have to plow my road ! I was raised not to rely on other people .
That you over there on Noble wearing the green hat building a snowman? I can smell that stinky diesel from here. Smells like breathany’s perfume. Now go on and git.
Just pay for it. Now you can MOOOOVE! Move outta town!
The roads are in excellent shape thanks to our city street department! !! Excellent excellent job!!! Somebody needs to shake the money tree for all of you!
Look at all the places in town have shut down or are shutting down soon since the election. She gone!
Be careful, the Trump Tards on here will want to build a wall. Keep tax paying biz in and crackron out.
Hats off to our city workers our roads were in tip top shape this morning. Whatever their paying you guys isn’t enough I think you all need a big raise thank you
City is 3 mil in the hole. No raises!
Just raise the taxes now that trumps president there is more job than ever so I think everyone can pay more and give the city workers a raise
Just pay for it.
You lost ❄.You have severe TDS!!!
Get those plows ready. Don’t say you haven’t been told or warned. I expect to see a full crew out this weekend.

Shows how dumb you are! We will be out in full force getting paid time 1/2 and double time! Now go pi$$ up a rope you scumbag loser. Just for that we are skipping the North End. Say hi to Chief Hopocan for me. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.

we don’t want no border wall.we need the illegals vote.we want more Americans killed by illegals.we are anti American and deserve the firing squad for being traitors.we are liberal scum!

so…we pay Extra for a mosquito spray truck ..if we’re Lucky… we see Twice during the whole summer….they don’t even start till mid June..the bugs are here in May! then we started paying Extra for sewers…which my whole two sewers on my road, always have 2 foot+ high weeds growing out of them all summer…… and Now….. they want to charge us for the street lights? the lights go out, what …once every 3 years or so? it may seem like Pennies to some…. but add all that up PER Household… that is a nice Chunk of change, that someone is Pocketing, for NOT doing Anything. I call for an Audit..!… we’re being Ripped off. I would not mind paying it…..IF they Actually attended to the things, we are Paying for.
how the hell else are we gonna make $100,000 + annually?
Pack’em up…..ship’em out. Hit the road, Jack!
That’s it.I’ll be at Lake Annie today all day if you’d like to stop by for some quality debate. I’ll be the one with the shirt.
Why wear a shirt? It is warm out. I’ll be there with the RED HAT. No pants or shirt, just a hat. Look for me. I’ll be hanging out all day.
lmao.That is a perfectly good idea!!!
You are wasting your time on this forum. The trolls with a 5th grade maturity level continue to post juvenile remarks by the hundred’s on here. A once valuable community resource, this forum has turned into a safe haven for immature fools. The Herald needs to block the IP addresses of these a$$ clowns so we can go back to good community debate and sharing. This town’s leadership continues to waste taxpayer dollars while large tax paying employer’s slip out the back door. Read the council minutes and you would be amazed at how fast your tax dollars are being spent because we the voters gave council the right to “emergency” every expenditure. This means sub contractor checks are being written before the council even adjourns. This town could have saved millions by doing our own street repairs. You only get state & fed $ for state route listed roadways, all of the side streets are done with taxpayer $.
Hey Kettle, you’re BLACK!
practice what u preach colon pilot!!!
Ve vill find out who you are and ve vill do nothing about it.”Quality” community debate is at risk!! These a$$ clowns are soooooo immature.Zey vill stop at nussing to destroy zis once vonderful forum.Ve must bring freedom of speech to its knees!!!
You been drinking too much wine?
Been rather quiet on here of late. Maybe everyone MOOOOOOOoooooooved?
I seen 2 men and a tuck yesterday!!! Gross!!!
Its quiet because it hasn’t snowed yet. So the cry baby tax payers dont have anything to cry about !!
lol.shes right you know! Some of u boys need to get u a 4×4!!!
No need to. Winter is cancelled. Besides, once those gas prices go back up you will regret that 4×4.
bobsled would be better for you!!
Boobsleds are fun. Go to the top of Oakdale hill and go real fast and if you are lucky enough to find the straightest path then you can end up at LAKE ANN.
LAKE ANNER!!!
Lake Anna is frozen and the swans are still there. FYI, it is the middle of December.
Wow you guys really ripped it up around here yesterday!!! LAME!!!

I like malt licky so fu!!!
Me too.
Curious…. when us kids were young, many years ago….we played in the creek behind Breitenstine Park..pancake creek, I believe. just noticed all kinds of “Warning, and Keep Out” signs all the way up and down the creek. Q.) is it Park Property? Private Property? City worried about Liability? or is it Polluted.. ( like Wolf Creek is) ? thanks.
are you dum?
curious: You must be the one who is “dum” LOL which is spelled “DUMB” !
Bi-Curious- you got owned!! You big dummy!!
NYUCK NYUCK NYUCK! She got you!
Mic drop!
You should move out of ward 3. You got owned! Move now Dumby!
On Dec 4,2018 at 12:13pm the best comment on here was written by someone other than me!! Thanks bin laden!!
F everybody
You win the internet today sir!!!
Thank you sir! I will show them. I will move now. Packer on up and mover on out! I need 4.5 U halls.
Lol!!! I moved a long time ago. Ma now rents our basement out section 8.All is well!!!!
I myself am not dumb.I am stoopid with a faint hint of dipshit though.Thanks obammy salammy!!
They’re probably floating some turds down stream sir???
Cherry Blossom Festival announced May 17th to May 19th of 2019. Don’t plan anything outside. Gonna rain continuously, 24 hours a day, that time frame. Calling it now.
You should move to Seattle. And stick to cigars.
Too many Democrats there.
TOO MANY PUPPIES!!!
I got a ceegar from Bill Clinton once.It smelled terrible!!! Thanks Moe Moe!! Portland is a really nice place too.Just watch for human feces on the sidewalks!!
Instead of PORTLAND, call it POOPLAND.
I hope the City is keeping an eye on what just happened to Akron and Republic Recycling, now refusing glass containers….Barberton do not allow Kimble to follow suit.. if they do, sue for breach of contract…what is the point of recycling? if they stop accepting glass containers too, I am just going to plain stop recycling. **I know they hadn’t said anything yet, but..really there are only so many Places – Trash – Recycle Haulers can go to. and usually if one decides to make a major change, others will follow…. how awful.
Probably not, and besides, who goes around looking in every single recycle container looking for specific items? They don’t have time to waste like that!
I heard K-Mart is shutting down in Barberton? Is that true?
Yep. Another Barberton business gone thanks to Bethany. Even Magic City Brewing Co. is leaving! Nice article in the Beacon.
The beer there is awful. They should move out next to Red Horse Whinery. And whine to each other about how bad Barberton is.
That would be awesome and then I can visit both in one trip.
Yep, bad pizza too
You wouldn’t know “good” beer. Stick to your Blatz, you toothless, Cherry Blossom Festival hillbilly.
Go ef yourself. Classy!
You should just MOOve. Sell your house for a loss, carry the debt, pack the U-Haul, and MOOOOOOoooove! No plans, no agenda, nothing…..MOOOOOve!
La Splats!!
David Copperfield again???
Poof!
Great song sir!!!
Report illegal aliens in your area.They’re there.If you employ illegals you deserve to be deported as well.Report to ICE daily-(866)-347-2423
I reported aliens once.Everyone said I was nuts!! Timmy and I know the truth!! The truth is out there!!
Almost all of the money from Boosters goes to Football only. Why?
I dropped too much acid in the 60-70’s
Did you pick it back up after you dropped it?
I didn’t see Bethany McKinley at the highschool bizarre this weekend? She gone?
Year of the woman bub
year of the magician
Copperfield’s the best!!
wasn’t copperfield, was doug henning
What happened to the Magic City Taxi Service? I called only to get a message that they have closed. They have a new buyer. But they don’t say anything about when they will start up again.
Beth McKinley ran them out of town just like she ran out after election.
I live on Richland ave in Norton and I have very little brains! C u next Tuesday!!
I see what you did there.Pretty tricky!!
We need more Conservative Republicans to start running things around here. Better get the campaign trail going now!
Don’t stand a chance
I think I’m gonna run!! Make Lake Annis Great Again!!! I’ll start by refilling the lake to its original level.We’re gonna get some of that water back from the lime lakes to top it off!!!
You could always wait for Barber Road or the West Side to flood and divert it from those locations.
I like the way you think sir!! Quality runoff!!
You lazy,freeloading liberals!
There’s more than one way to skin a cat!! Thanks sir!!
Larry Rininger if Copley is a slumlord. He has 2 rentals on Kendall rd and doesn’t take care of them. Myself and his other tenant have dealt with nasty mold conditions, faulty breaker boxes busted ass garages that can’t be used. He knocks on our bedroom windows call after 10pm to harass and asks for pre dated check so him and his stupid wife can go winter in Florida while we freeze in his shitty houses. Heads up don’t rent shit from Larry or goldy rininger on Kendall rd
You got my rent money?
And just like that, Bethany has not been seen inside the city limits?????????
Yep, and one week after the election Magic Taxi closed up shop. Thanks Bethany Mckenney!
If you would have voted democrat we would have saved barberton taxi. Smdh.Oh wait nothing we could do about Uber.
Dummycrats are ruining the country.
And just like that barberton herald starts banning conservative viewpoints!!! Way to take a loss!!!
Facts are the enemy of the people!! Signed, Democrats
Interesting because the Herald is a REPUBLICAN newspaper.
That’s awesome! Thanks sir!
That you over there in the Red hat smoking a camel? Non-Filter? Clean up that goose shyt and trash.
NOPE!
I don’t go near that shithole you dummy.You know me and your ma only smoke crack-full flavor!!!
How in the hell is the Red Horse Winery in business? This place is the worst! The staff is bothered when anyone visits and you feel as if you are walking on egg shells. The wine is overpriced and all tastes the same. Not sure why Tom Golic even sponsors them. They claim they are in Barberton but not so. Stay away!
Lots of places with employees like that.Goddammit I gotta work now? It’s an epidemic!!
Never heard of Tom Golic.
Ever hear of the Barberton All Football Boosters?
Did anybody notice that the Dems always seem to find these mysterious and forgotten ballots after the fact, trunks of cars etc. But when they win, how dare anyone question our electoral system! They also wanted Sessions gone a while back, but now are appalled that he has been replaced! Starting to see a pattern here,!
Barberton herald has been banning conservative viewpoints.Yeah democrats are fascists!!!
you got owned……bwwwahahahahahahahaha
I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.But my laugh says I’m a millennial dipshit!!
Husband uses illegal money for help on wifes end. Be careful on corner of 5th street.
Prostitute?Where? Just curious.I’m doing a report.
Look for the Yello house.
By the oak tree? Geez some people!!
HAHA…. Dummycrats…
Haha….haha
she gone
Actually he gone!!! Ha
So a young adult can go serve their country at 18 years of age but Barberton wants to make it illegal to smoke cigs until 21 ? This town is so dysfunctional. Leadership’s thought process around here is mental constipation. If my home’s value was not plummeting into the toilet, it would be almost comical. By the way, it’s that time of year. HEY CITY STREET & POLICE DEPT, START FINING THE IDIOTS THAT BLOWS LEAVES INTO THE ROADWAYS AND DOWN INTO THE CRUMBLING SEWER SYSTEM. Unlike the crazy smoking idea, we do have ordinances against dumping leaves into the roadways. See it on every city block this time of year. Barberton teachers….. take a lesson from the football team. With hard work and no excuses, perfection is possible! Great season Magics & coach Gotto.
Of course they TELL us to put leaves in the street this time of year for pickup, that is IF they come to pick them up.
Who should I vote for and why?
Democrats.To screw America
All Republicans! Time to do away with Dummycrats!
Vote for Soyars, he stays on his feet.
Contrite,commercial,arrogance,leprosy.Consume the bitch,mindless like a child.For pity’s sake I’ve had all that I can take.We try.But in the end we’ll see.There are no more codes.Only who is shit and who’s still free.I was gonna change the world with honor and aggression.No one listened,no one cared all they saw was misdirection.Go ahead and disagree.I’m giving up again.
RAIN COMING! Shut the schools down NOW! Barber Road will be FLOODED!
Will this effect 14th St?
Hope not!
AMEN.
I’m praying for tidal waves
Red Tidal Wave on Nov. 6th.
Lol!! You know it!!!
BEFFANY MCKINLEY IS A MESS
So are you
She makes herself look like a fool.
Your shithole town is a mess.And guess what.Nobody really gives a fug.
Thanks OBAMA!
Take your mask off, Halloween is over
Close your 536th ranked out of 601 school districts and give us back our tax dollars. Give each student an open enrollment form to Norton and viola ! Problem solved. Our just home school them and offer welfare and disability work shops for all 12th graders. That is what a Barberton education will amount to. Teachers could care less down there.
Well geez!!
I would like to say thank you to all the hard working city employees and officials. Thank You!
Norton does pretty good I hear. Can’t say the same for Barberton.
You should move to Norton.
YOU ARE from Norton.
Go smoke another doobie! Peace,love and hair grease man.
You must back on the juice. There goes your 30 day chip. Too bad
I like beer sofu!!!
Filming for “City Slackers” to be in Ward 1 this week.
Good read via the Cleveland Plain Dealer online today. Ohio school district report cards are out. Barberton ranks 536 out of 601 districts state wide. They narrowly escaped an F rating by clinging to a D. They achieved 2 out of 23 state requirements. JUST PLAIN SAD !! Considering how much this district has repeatedly leaned on the taxpayer wallets over the past 18 years this needs to be addressed immediately and with swift change. This is what happens when a district has the mentality of ” doing the state required minimum” for everything. So much for the theory that good schools help to increase your home value, hey ? DEMAND MORE AND VOTE DOWN ALL FUTURE LEVIES !
This is the effect of cramming all elementary schools together and kids being raised by the internet.Progress!! You’re failing your kids!!
My 13 kids get straight A’s.
Move to Hudson! NOW
Hudson stinks! Everyone has SUV’s and gas hogs there.
Looks like a couple jobs are needed.Freeloaders!!!Get a job or moooovvveeee!!!
yep, bingo! 4×4 right thru the snow!
Get your lazy butt out there and shovel all the streets in town.
City of Norton please do something about the intersection at Summit and Clarkmill.I’ve personally had a handful of incidents and witnessed others nearly crash due to people who cannot realize there is no stop sign westbound on Summit.Someone is going to get seriously injured.Easy fix-get rid of the stop sign in the eastbound lane and install a cross traffic does not stop sign at Summit(behind red pepper).(new traffic pattern)Driving a large construction vehicle I’ve narrowly missed creaming a few.Please do something about this.
Anyone from the STREET CREW going to be slacking and posting messages later today on here? I would say so. Our tax dollars at work…..lol….
The democrat scum are desperate!!! They’re not thinking clearly and will do anything to get their “power”.Including ruin America in the process.I expect more of this before the midterms.Get to the polls and vote theses deep state pigs out.Funny how mailed packages to different states all arrive within hours of one another.So damn obvious!!! Democrats and the msm are the enemy of the people.
I agree 100%! They also forget too that the Post Office anywhere is NOT that efficient. These were clearly hand-delivered and placed intentionally. I would bet anything that a DEMOCRAT is behind it. The Democratic Party is dying a slow death and they are digging their own graves. Give it a few years and that party may not exist.
It will either go unsolved or they’ll find a patsy just like the Vegas shooter!
I like how the ricin sent to republicans was a non story.Brushed under the rug quickly.No biggie!!
hey, didn’t see any “headlines”.. or email Alerts, but are the Police searching for anybody on the West side? two nights in a row now, a vehicle ( it was dark hard to tell what kind – suv maybe in size…) has been going down the road with a very Blinding Bright Search Spot Light, shining it in everyone’s yards and windows! if it isn’t the Police …. isn’t this illegal? we need to know if we should be on the “look out” for any Fugitives! what’s up??
There is a jaguar on the loose from the Akron zoo.He almost got Timmy!!
Don’t forget, folks, the filming for “City Slackers” starts today as our road crew rides around Ward 4 looking to pick up leaves that have not fallen yet. Since there won’t be anything to do, you can catch them leaning on shovels and posting messages to Facebook.
Move. Now
Filming resumes today. Day #2. The hunt for leaves continues…..
Jealous a bit ?
Guilty? You are owned! Slacker!
You should movie on out then. Packer on up. we own you. bbwwwaaahahahahahahahaha
Slakkas! All of them, from the top down! Caught them out today leaning on shovels and posting to Facebook.
and there aint a dam thing you can do about it! Go get a 4 x 4, snow on the way.
put down the smokes and the beer loser
HI MIKE
Not true sir.he can post to facebook which will only confirm he’s a liberal.blaaat!! Thanks sir!
that you in the red hat over on st.clair? mulchin leaves?
I told u guys before I don’t mulch leaves.I rake them with a toothpick.
Should be pretty easy to do them all with a toothpick. No leaves down yet!
Actually, I lied. My GPS was off. Over by LAKE ANN mulchin’ leaves. I work for the city street crew and I am slakkin’ today!
I like beer!! Sofu!!
Facebook is for 14 yr old girls sir.Thanks sir!!
I seen them guys filmin that movie over at the minute mart today.I think the one guy was Bruce Willis.I should of got an autograph just in case.
Trump is NOT a fascist.Change my mind.
They won’t because they have no proof, just memes that people make on the internet to fulfill their own agenda.
I think it’s time president Trump gets the military involved in extinguishing the deep state republicans and democrats.The fed is going to purposely crash the market and lay blame on Trump.These globalist elite are in it to destroy America in order to implement their NEW WORLD ORDER.Start the military tribunals immediately!!!
I hope the younger generation in America can put down their electronics long enough to see how easy a mild form of Nazism can grow and spread. You trump tards are truly a scary bunch and the poor and lower middle class need’s to get out and vote ! It is not about white versus black or poor versus rich. It is about the deplorable mindset exhibited by the majority of trump supporters. This forum is littered with such remarks. I would like to ask the Herald to clean up the juvenile comments and antics posted here. This forum should be a constructive tool for all. I would be embarrassed for someone in a neighboring community to read this forum. Do you really want to be known as Barbertucky? How about we shoot to be known as an intelligent community looking to rebound and grow.
Pack the U-Haul and go!
Barbertucky intelligent LMAO!!!
I said its not about race!!! Ya hillbillies!!!
I said its not about rich or poor!!! Now go vote poor and lower middle class!!! I’m a jack ass!!!!
You should move to Kentucky
You should accept defeat a little better and realize you’re wrong.Trump is the g.o.a.t.!! I’m sure grass isn’t the only thing you blew!!!
Your right, blew on your moms pickle
Yikes!! Gross!! We got us a kinky one!!
Purple haze=Maxine Waters.
That would also include all those Dummycrats.
that u in the red hat again by the lake annie
That’d be me sir.Make sure to keep your area free of litter and debris sir.Thanks much sir !
I know MSNBC and CNN are the most reliable and accurate news out there.They are not biased in any way shape or form.They didn’t even call Kanye West a negro.That wasn’t real.You didn’t hear and see that.Antifa fascists are not violent.You didn’t hear or see what you think you did.Now do you see my intelligence?? I’m highly educated!!!
You’re a Nazi. You’re uneducated. You’re deplorable. You’re a trumptard. And that’s all I got! What will democrats do for you,you ask.I don’t know they haven’t came up with anything.
We’ll impeach Trump!
Please do my handouts are in jeopardy!!! Yikes!!!
7 of 88 counties in Ohio voted Hillary in 2016. Summit Co.being one of them.
Sounds like most people in summit county like a free handout !!
It was close enough to be flipped and should be in 2020. Wayne Co.for Trump! Medina Co.for Trump! Portage Co.for Trump.C’mon Summit Co.get it together!!
That is because of Crackron stealing most of the votes. Other cities voted red, in fact Barberton was red for Trump.
I will be voting for Sawyers, that other lady is different.
Tell us more sir.Inquiring minds wanna know.Warts? An overly large head? Butterface? Speaks Chinese? Please let us know sir!!! Please!!
She falls down in public. She follows the Democrats around at certain functions. She has trouble carrying on a conversation. She goes to football games and leaves right after kickoff. Different.
Simply from your reply she has won my vote!!!
doesn’t surprise me. you a little different too. kinda re-re
Thanks sir.It’s you are or you’re my special friend!English foo!Now I’m seriously gonna vote for her!!
That’s because her husband is running her camp. She is like a radio controlled car. Do her signs say Republican? Hmmm.
She’s one of those swamp monsters? I wizzed on one of those signs.is that bad?
Republicans vote on Nov. 6th, all others on Nov. 7th.
Right you are Ken!!!
4 the people
Pretty sure he’s a Trump supporter ? I could be wrong.
Stop it sir!!! I…..Can’t……Take…..All…..This…..Winning!!!!
Wrong sir!! He likes rummy better!!
Or 5 the people.Who knows?Very mysterious!!
Moooooove it on out! Take the city slackers with you too!
That’s awesome! Like two kids towing cept they’re 50 something.Thanks sir!
Fat and skinny went to bed. Fat rolled over and skinny was dead! Welcome!!
Nice,shiny,new,bright,white Chrysler 300 delivering drugs to Barberton’s east side today. Likely meth. Deer poachers buying.
So, get the number on the plate wise guy.
I did.it’s krackasheartmeth
I don’t get it?
I know right
You should MOOOOOOoooooove!
You should put the fork down
Vote 4 Soyars!
Let me guess, he’s the reason Huntington Bank in Norton is closing? Bunch of idiots!
Nope. Trumps fault
You use a talking point that liberals constantly use on Trump yet your puppeting for a democrat.Are you confused? Oh wait I think I just answered my own question.The bank is being torn down for a parking lot by the way.LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Enlighten us oh brainiac!!!!
Banks are like shopping malls. They will all be closed thanks to the internet. Keep enlightening yourself Panther nation!!!!! You should move to B-Town. We own you. Move now!!!! LOL!!!!!
New movie, “City Slackers,” set to be filmed in Barberton starting October 15th and lasting through Winter. It will focus around the city street crew.
New movie, “pack your bags” will focus on idiots moving out of the city because they were not smart enough to pass a civil service test.
Pack ‘er on up and ship ‘er out!
Vote these lying,cheating,demonic liberals out in November.They’re no good for no one. MAGA TRUMP 2020!!!
New movie “truth hurts”. Self explanatory

When you look in the dictionary under looney liberal there is a picture of Christine Ford.They all have that same horrible wild eyed,batshit crazy look to them.This mentally ill bitch is a psychologist? Wonder how many people she has ruined.We are doomed as a country!!
We have all been raped by demonic democrats for many years now.I feel war will be the only fix now.F U democrat scum!!! Go to hell where you scumbags belong!!

Lose your face lose your name and get fitted for a suit of flame
business man to the rescue
Same thing Obama told me when he was tossing my salad 34 years ago.
Ohioan’s must have valid ID to vote.ICE will be at all polling locations across the state of Ohio.If you’re one of the 20 million illegal aliens in this country don’t bother trying to vote or you’re gonna be deported.In fact you should just pack er on up and MOVE!
Aye caramba!!!
I like tacos.
I think Joe Biden jerked me off 22 years ago.Is that sexual assault? Chuck Schumer gave me a blumpkin also.
We fought your wars with all our hearts.You sent us back in body parts.You took are will with the truths you stole.We offer prayers for your long lost soul.The remainder is an unjustifiable egotistical power struggle at the expense of the American dream.We don’t give a damn about your world with all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls.We don’t give a fug about your world.Right now.
Ok you Trumpy tards, lets here the excuses for this new one. I see Trumpy was speaking in front of the U.N. and when he boasted about his administration, most of the U.N. broke out in laughter. Check it out, it’s all there in HD video for you to see. That is what the world thinks of our leadership. Not fake news. Fake news is an excuse made up to help those without a clue. Sorry 🙁
The U.N. has no clue and they are mad because we don’t want anything to do with them.
I’d say they have been laughing all the way to the bank, from the previous administration.He who laughs last laughs loudest! If Obama would have accomplished a fraction of what Trump has done in 8 long years, he would have been the best president of all time! Of course paying your fair share has never been a Democrat idea! Go Trump 2020
Yeah, let’s down play the fact that the U.N. might be the greatest act of true WORLD WIDE diplomacy ever achieved. The UN is the world’s largest intergovernmental organization. 193 countries and or states represented by a common thread. Only a true Trump tard would mouth off against the U.N.
Hahahahahaha!! What a joke.Libtards!!! Demonrats!!! Full of hate and shit!!! Trump 2020!!! Thank you,your comment just helped me talk another friend into registering to vote republican!!!
Get your dancing shoes on and learn the Trumpty Dance for when he wins his second term in a landslide victory.
Most of them already do the tube steak boogie!!!
Nancy “Pillosi”(cause dat bitch is on some serious pills)flashed me her junk once a couple times.Gives a whole new meaning to curtain drop!! I feel assaulted!!
We believe survivors!! We believe survivors!! We need no facts!! You should be embarrassed of your party but I’m sure you think it’s cute.99% chance that you’re a fat,wild eyed,butt ugly,liberal.See you at the polls TRASH!!
Will check for your reply around lunchtime when you wake up.
I’ll be too busy leaning on a shovel.
trumpy feeds on that kind of behavor. look how mad you are. lolololololol
Just so you all know.I went ahead and moved like you so politely suggested.It was a lot of work but I just got done moving my dresser from the basement to the attic without any of moms help.I officially have a new bachelor pad!! I wanna thank you all so much so I’ll go ahead and do that now.Thanks all!!! P.S.Timmy loves it up here.Said he always wanted to live in an attic.
Some even follow people around and stalk them. Talk about weird.
You weren’t supposed to tell people about that.I only wrote to Daisy Duke several times once.
Most want everything handed to them.they are entitled.Talk about a glitter bitch.
What’s the deal with the street in front of the high school ? They ripped up the top surface over a month ago. Did we bounce a check or does the mayor need to get off his arse and call the subcontractor ? Should have been done by our own street dept weeks ago, oh I forgot. We moth balled our paving equipment so our well paid city workers can go home all rested and clean.
Move out of state now. Leave and go fly drones somewhere else.
That’s nothing! Wait until Fall and Winter get here and they slack on leaf pickups and snow plowing. We can only be lucky to have a mild winter because that would be a huge benefit for the city.
move to myrtle beach. leave now, hurry. you have 25 hrs
I’m starting to feel a little deja vu reading these comments.bitch-move-bitch-move-bitch-move-bitch-move-bitch-move=boring!!! And that’s coming from a real loser.lame
The comments are all from the same person. I would bet there are only about 4 real people on here, the other 100 names are the same person. Rumor has it that the Herald employees post here to stir the pot. You can tell by the posting style that the person is the same.
you should move
Said the same thing to your mom.she didn’t. Lame
so move now
Hi Jerhomie!
Hello LeBron.how’s things goin out there in the wonderful city of L.A.?
The Liberals love me! I like this whacky state of California!
That’s great sir! Now you get to be with all the other highly educated folks in America.No way were you ever passed through a grade just so you could play bassetball.No way Jose.By the way how is MS13 doing?Tell em I said hi! I love their face tats!!
I wanted to use the name jim stix but ya know.OK I’ll move now.Thanks sir!!
How many of you out there just go ahead and rake and bag and drop off leaves at Edgewood, knowing the city dropped the ball a long time ago. Yeah it used to be a new norm, but hey, at least it’s done at the right time and the city doesn’t tick me off! Just wondering what would happen if an outsider ran for office against the establishment in this city? Hey Hodge you got your ears on? Come on man, shake things up! Most people agree with you because you say what we’re already thinking!
Why not just chop the leaves up with a mulching mower while keeping up with the mowings in the Fall? I started doing that a few years ago because it is much easier than raking all of them and it is also good for the lawn. They will come by this area in mid-October before leaves even start falling and then by the time they make a second pass through here, if they get around to it, then it is almost the end of December and you have piles of leaves sitting there in the street for several weeks. Hopefully you don’t have snow in that time frame or else the plows will push them back into your yard or onto your neighbors yard. I think they need to think about starting in November as opposed to October though. Most times leaves don’t start falling down in bunches until after Halloween.
Just changed to the mulching, way better than all that work! See how it goes when the leaves fall! Thanks for the idea!
I think you must be jealous or maybe your not smart enough to be a city employee. First of all no city in this area paves a whole rd nor do they have the equipment or man power to do so !! So dont comment on something you dont know about !! Stick to advance basket weaving better yet get on your short bus and move!
And as far as the leaves and snow real men dont rely on someone to get rid of them they handle it their self . That’s what separates the men from the boys!!
Then I guess our city slackers are all BOYS! Hahahaha
how old are you, 4?
They are ALL slakkas, from the top down!
WORK SMART NOT HARD DUMBAS!!
Hi Mike
Hi poosie
YOU should probably just mmmmoOOOOOOOOOve
I wouldn’t mind hanging out with you guys!! You’re a real hoot!! Plus we have so much in common.P.S. what is this poosie you talk of? Sounds like something I may like.
I like to take my leaves with a toothpick.Make it challenging!!
NO sir!!! He’s 47.geez some people!!
Nuh-uh mam! Someone else on here said sports was what separates the men from the boys.geez now I’m really confused
Make like a tree and leaves.get it? P.S. Timmy said he’s sorry for stealing your drone and flying dirty on it sir.
Floods are coming!
Do you think the floods will effect 14th St.?
You can bet the farm on it! Anyone own canoes over there? You might need them later.
no floods! idiots
I know.didn’t even get to bust out the water wings.thanks Bin Laden.see ya next possible flood!!
Thanks Obama!
Gaaahhhhhhh!!! don’t u forget about me
Cant win in this town. Sorry Charlie
Chithole?
Some even spent time in Prison for stealing money from people.
Bill and Hillary? Anyway.The democratic plantation is being abandoned in droves!!!#walkaway
Art Bradnick you are not. Keep flying drones.
Thanks Yoda!!
Attn:everybody.My pet squirrel Timmy didn’t come home yesterday.I’m very upset and miss him alot.If you see him please tell him to get home on the double.He’s wearing a red backpack so you’ll know if you see him.He was last spotted near the taxidermist on Wooster Rd.Please any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks
Thanks OBAMA!
Given thanks to a traitor you have.Smart that is not.Head from azz you must pull.
Hats off to the planners of the Labor Day festivities this year, they were great! The parade was very good and the fireworks were wonderful! Great community event!
Very disappointed in the Barberton Band staff. Ever since the current staff became in charge the quality of the band significantly dropped. The band is barely audible at the games, the Alma Mater has been re-written and sounds terrible, traditions have been discarded, and the band does nothing exciting to get the crowd excited for the game. Not to mention many students say how the staff is rude and condescending to them and makes band unenjoyable for them. Many stay in band and deal with it because they want to play their instrument and there is no alternative. Our students’ musical talents are being wasted by a staff that looks out for only themselves and not the community or students. They are damaging to our band history and band program and they need to go.
Welcome to the age of the gross!!
I don’t agree with all of the changes our staff has made to the band, but I do know that our band program is good and strong. We are blessed to have, in my opinion, some of the most talented high school musicians in the state performing on the field. We should be very proud of our band!
You guys rock!! Don’t “FRET” over it!!
I never new anyone that pays attention to the band!! Friday night r for football!!
Because anyone you know glorifies stupid shit.have u seen my bayball?
Sports have and always will separate the men from the boys!!
LOL!! I’ll say the same about music.To glorify a form of pastime/entertainment is silly.Sports are great way to stay in shape and keep the ruffians off the streets for the most part.Also a great way for parents to live vicariously through their kids.How about glorifying god and country.Our military.Our doctors.Our police.Our teachers.Our farmers.Our business owners who provided jobs.etc.At the end of it all its only a game Fokker!!
Everyone I know are winners!!!
Oh don’t get offended.I’m sure you,your friends and family are all way better than everybody.LMAO!!!
Chief Hopocan(Captain Pipe) was born in 1725.
O.C.Barber-1841,Bo Schembeckler-1929,Glenn Jeep Davis-1934,And Hodge should just take offense to this!! Lol!! But if a statue can celebrate it’s birthday I’d go with the “statue” of Chief Hopocan!!
I thought the 100 yr old pole question was in regards to how long had it been since Barberton completed a PROPER street repair without writing a 350,000 subcontractor check ?
Now that’s funny!!!
grant for repair
You need to read your council minutes. When council approves $350k, it is no grant
fake news
Move’em out.
You should leave now!
Can you please use your drones to find my pet squirrel.his names Timmy.been missing.He’s wearing a red backpack and has a knapsack over his shoulder.I think he’s near lake ann.if you spot him from way up high please let me know and tell him to get home we miss him.and that I’m sorry for not giving him his treat.
Vote Soyars
He stays on his feet!
Soyars does have the Knowledge and experience to STAY ON HIS FEET! VOTE 4 SOYARS!
Did anyone see the liberal communist father who dared his “daughter” to knock a kids maga hat off for 100 bucks? Most likely you did not because of the lying liberal communist media.You can find it on the internet! Absolutely disgusting!! Fair warning: You toucha my hat,I breaka you face!!! Or worse…
yup I seen that.liberals are traitors to America.Look at the illness at the kavanaugh confirmation hearing.They want our 1st and 2nd amendment rights.They want open borders.They want free healthcare.They want free college tuition so they can become indoctrinated by liberal “professors” and proclaim their intelligence yet most never land a job worth a damn.(liberal arts)lol.They wanna live at their parents house forever because they’re entitled and if you kick them out they’ll try to sue.They want boys to be girls and girls to be boys.They want their win even though they lost.Mentally ill spoiled little brats that could use a good azz woopin is really all they are.Sad isn’t it?poor poor little liberals
You have some serious issues. Your blind hatred for those whom are different or have less is both sad and very scary. I am all for someone working hard and I have no issues with closing our boarders as a nation. Terrorism has left little choice in that matter. NO WAY SHOULD ANYONE BE DENIED HEALTH CARE IN THE MOST FRUITFUL NATION IN THE WORLD. You are dead wrong about judging people who cannot afford health care. Other financial assistance programs leave some room for debate. I hope karma finds you soon! Have a nice day !
You have some serious Trump derangement syndrome.Seek help!! Where in my comment did I say anything about denying health care? You’re dead wrong!! Keep twisting words to fit your agenda.
You got that FRUITFILLED part right.C**KSUCKERS is what I call em.
Lol man,I would say I have not heard something so utterly ridiculous, and unintelligent in a long time, but luckily for you we have the definition of a moron for a president, who can’t shut his mouth, with the most corrupt administration in American history. I’m not a liberal, but they are clearly not the issue in this beautiful country.
Enlighten us Jake.You liberals are nothing but truth deniers.(I wouldn’t admit being liberal either).Do you think government corruption just started? Trump was elected into this shit to get rid of this shit.Like I said you libs are delusional.You HATE Trump plain and simple.Stay in your fantasy land Jakey Jake.
Soyar’s is a respectable gent but how is he helping Barberton when he left for a Summit Co council seat? Just say’in
Barberton is in Summit county. Stick to flying drones
yeah, summit co council helps Barberton all the time. stick to your snotty and juvenile posts. leave politics to adults
lol, its ok ……… want me to call the whambulance?
get a hobby, or a job?
August 25, 2018 and Donald J. Trump is still YOUR president. Liberals heads are exploding!
WWG1WGA!!! TRUE PATRIOT!!! DRAIN THAT CORRUPT SWAMP!!!
Liberals own 90+ % of the media.Trash him all day and night yet his support grows!!! People are slowly waking up to the greatest president in my lifetime!!! TRUMP 2020!!!
i dont like the guy he took my handouts away.
Vote for them Obamacrats. They will give you freebies.
Those numbers aren’t reflecting on this area that’s for sure.I’ve never seen so many able bodies not doing a damn thing but driving around and hanging out.Get the hell outta my way I’m trying to work you lazy liberals!!
This is what happens when people hate Trump more than they love our country! Just think what could have happened if the Dems in office would have helped him (us) instead of starting a witch Hunt! Almost 2 years later and still no collusion! But what about the Dems??? I feel Sessions was Trump’s biggest mistake yet. I hate the tweets and some of what he has said, but love what he is doing in the economy, tax cuts, stock market, jobs etc. Trump for me was the lesser of the two evils, but out of love of country I proudly support him, and hope Republicans can keep control in mids to keep America great!
You are seriously delusional. He has had a dozen of his original hand picked team members quit or get fired within 2 years. His own Repub’s rejected his health reform for month’s. The guy rants on twitter like a juvenile every day and we all know he was in bed with the Ruskie’s. This is your greatest prez ? Build a wall so the Mexican’s can tunnel under it ? Raised tariff’s which in return caused other countries do the same to our exported goods. The list is endless. Keep enjoying the dysfunctional reality tv show that resides in the White House. It’s final season will be very soon! Look on the bright side, you can always watch re-runs of your
“cartoon prez” on Showtime.
2 years of butthurt!!! LMFAO!!! See you at the polls liberal,commie pig!!! TRUMP 2020!!!
And yet support for President Trump grows.Mystifying huh?
His popularity only grows with the simple minded and those whom enjoy drama. Being what the old timers call ” a character ” does not make for a strong and successful leader, however it does gives you good reality tv.
What haven’t the Dems tried to impeach him then? Oh that’s right you have no crime! You see in my delusional life, you have a crime, and you investigate to find the person! In the Dems reality TV life, you have the person investigated to see if there was a crime committed. But there is good news for you too, cnn, msnbc, nbc will keep you on the mental life support you so desperately need!!!
Check out the walkaway movement if your hatred will allow you.Check out all those people you’re calling simple minded.You are sparse on facts and full on opinion oh brainiac.Just like your favorite news channels.#walkaway
PANTHERS GONNA BEAT MAGICS TONIGHT
I’ll be at the concert tonight following knuckles around cleaning his trash.(He’s a lazy one!)Won’t have time for the game.GO NORBERTON!!!

Take a look at who runs the club.
Why do we have high school maintenance workers working outside on Sunday’s? Are we paying double time to cut grass? Been this way for a couple of summers now. Nothing against the workers but that does not sound like reasonable spending of taxpayer dollars. Also noticed the high school gym being used from time to time on Sunday’s. Don’t remember that ever happening back in the day. What is going on down at Norton ave on Sundays? Since my taxes have doubled in 15 years due to the school district, think these are reasonable questions.
Move out of the City ASAP. Taxes are cheaper in Wadsworth and Green.
Lol
Pack ‘er on up and ship out!
California is nice!!!
Mexifornia
We’ve got a lot of illegals here in Ohio.Contact ICE about these businesses who are hiring them.Landscaping,Flooring,Construction,roofing.oh wait these are jobs Americans won’t do.Correct?Wake up people!Black Americans will be outnumbered by illegals within the next 5 years.
Only Black Americans or ALL Americans? I’m confused?
There are less black Americans than white Americans.Be patient!!ALL will follow!! Ay caramba!!!
ICE is doing a great job, but we must BUILD THE WALL! KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
What if they didn’t mow on Sunday .would you be bitching on Monday about the grass being to tall???
I know some workers work Sun – Thurs and some also work Tues – Sat.
Soyars 4 Mayor Soyars 4 Mayor Soyars 4 Mayor Soyars 4 Mayor
Herald polls now remain on until we achieve a desired result!!
Check out the new poll before its taken down!!! Brilliance!!!
Grammar Nazi?
Barberton Post Office is horrible!
The Barberton Herald is being to Nice to our no-good politicans, No Need to edit my viewsline, on FACTUAL EVIDENCE that the planning director has filed for BANKRUPTCY multiple times.
Make Barberton a sanctuary city!!!
It already is. Hard working homeowners are leaving and staying away. sect 8 and rental folks make up the majority and civic pride is non existent. City services are a joke and the local city and school system workers live and pay taxes elsewhere.
With this new president, the economy is booming! It just didn’t happen here yet. We have seen what all this “change” has brought us. We got a president restoring our country, we need a like mayor to restore our great city! There is still alot of magic to be seen here. Like a great man once quoted “it’s the economy stupid ” well said!
Amen!!
Sure seems that way.We need to stand out ground now more than ever.
*our
very very true
Go to the Kenmore P.O.They’re wayyy better!!!
Give the Kenmore P.O. a try.They’re extremely not horrible!!!
I live on E. Robinson. I saw Mike Soyars at a local pizza place and told him about how bad our mosquitos were. 3 days later they sprayed twice that day.
that’s the POINT! we should not have to remind our reps, that we need sprayed, this should be done automatically and regularly, not on demand. after all they are taking our payments for this service. and yeh I know only $15 but x’s all our citizens owning property… is quite allot of dough. we should not have remind them to spray our streets.
28th street off Hudson run is the fastest way for emergency vehicles to get to the back roads aka noble, stratford, prospect etc.. because of lack of 4 way stops. also folks tend to zoom down the road, people walk this road to go to the family dollar or to the custard stand, all this to say it is a very busy road and once again, the basement house at the corner of auburn and 28th have that wiry bush all overgrown and your car has to be 1/3 of the way out in the street just to see the cross traffic … that is zooming up the 28th street hill to gain momentum, drivers either lay on the horn at you or swerve to miss you and possibly collide with an oncoming car. there have been a few accidents over the years at this corner. why can’t the owner of this house see they are endangering drivers and pedestrians? and now we have kids on bikes being summer… Please trim the stupid bush back..way down. or just get rid of it. hoping a police officer will drive down the street and see for themselves what a possible accident this could pose. ..and while you’re at it Officer… after 6pm notice the parking war on Auburn between 29th and 28th. barely enough room for one car to squeeze through without taking off the side door mirrors, no way for 2 way traffic let alone a possible ER vehicle. people are placing concrete blocks and orange cones to discourage parking and people are just parking next to them, for spite, thus being in the middle of the road. surely there is a law about road and traffic clearance. right? and obstructing the view at an intersection… thanks
I drove around Ohio this week and came home on Rt 21. Got off on the Barberton exit at Rt 585, only to rediscover the potholes from Hell at J & R Wheel. Well, they were filled up, but it was patch upon patch upon patches. Guess I’m home now, the roads are BAD here. Nowhere else that I went were nearly as bad as here. I went to the south, southwest, through farm country and city, and no roads were equal to ours. This is not something that we should be proud of, it should be something that motorizes us to action! So, where are the road repair trucks? And I don’t mean those stupid tar and chip trucks, either! Those do nothing but make the road look pretty for a season or two, then it’s back to pothole Hell again. For those who fear public reaction to road repair action: think again. The roads are so bad that any true repair work is worthy of celebration in this town! Bring out the trucks! Bring out the rollers and hot asphalt!
Well ya see.we’re goin for that 3rd world country look.But we got a party bus!!!!!
Has there been 1 mosquito spraying yet ?? What in the heck are we paying for ? I am seeing these Stewart mosquito signs up in front yards. So are homeowners having to pay for their own private service ? HEY CITY COUNCIL, WAKE UP AND GET INVOLVED IN THIS ISSUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live by Johnson’s corners and they only been out once… that I heard and I am home every night. and they did Not do every street..and they were going really Fast. I think the company should be investigated or at least supervised by a city council person on a route, make sure they are doing it right.
Between 10AM and 10:15AM on July 13, 2018. Near the corner of 5th ST SE and Robinson Ave. I was waiting for a 14 bus by the CVS. I heard a firetruck coming down 5th St from the hospital. They were going lights and sirens. Everyone was pulling over and stopping like they are supposed to do. Every except for a red pick up truck that was coming down Robinson and made a left hand turn on to 5th St right in front of the fire truck. Fortunately the fire truck was able to stop. The red pick up had to drive up on to someone’s well manicured lawn in order to get out of the way.
To that pick up truck driver. You could have caused a very serious accident! Were you drinking? Shooting up something? Smoking something? Talking on your cellphone? I sincerely hope you were caught on camera. I sincerely hope you get a ticket. I sincerely hope they throw the book at you!

Herald employees are responding to comments on here.Heads up everyone.
so….Why doesn’t Barberton allow Fishing in that Lovely Lake… we call the Reservoir? Many other communities allow fishing and electric motors in theirs.
Because it is not a lake, it is a reservoir. You just answered your own question.
walborn, deer creek, mogadore, hubbard valley, nimisilla, ..and more ……all reservoirs ..allow fishing.
So go fishing there. Leave Barberton’s drinking water alone. Trust me
Mogadore Reservoir allows fishing and electric motors.
They have been doing that a long time just to stir the pot.
and…..pee, trash, garbage, tires, beer cans…
Its also right by PPG. Do you want to eat a 3 headed fish? I have been told some have been taken out of there.
Wrong! Not even close to PPG.
I think they should use the lake for a youth fishing program with their parents . I can’t believe the number of kids these days who have never been fishing or hunting. I raised my children in the outdoors . Every Saturday they were up at 5am hitting the lake or woods. Not sleeping till noon playing video games getting in trouble. Now their grown adults and we still spend every weekend in the outdoors!!

I’d like to know why the City of Barberton hires prior felons.
That’s awesome, everyone needs a second chance.
Not
Did anyone notice the last poll that was on here?(it’s gone now.didn’t last long).Seems to have been written by a 5 year old
You are young…lyrics to a song. You need to get educated.
Consider it a learning experience
1 year ago today Councilman Soyars and Mayor Judge put a stop to the little crack house on E. Cassell Avenue. They tore that dump down and cleaned up the drug traffic. Soyars to the rescue !!
Much more work to do!!Like the black SUV with tinted windows and plates who delivers lethal drugs to Barberton frequently!! His days are numbered!! Nah just kidding.But seriously!!
That is one down and many more to go. Neighbors need to take the bull by the horns and stop relying on our local police to get the job done.
They also raided one on W. Tusc. that has been running a scrap yard, drug flop house. Building dept out to lunch on this one, but police after countless calls finally drug busted them. No more strange guys on bicycles with backpacks at all hours of the night and day Hopefully another one down. Getting our neighborhood back little by little
Brilliant, let the police slack on doing their job. I certainly hope you are not making adult decisions on a daily basis. Reinstate an ole job requirement. Have your local officials and employees ALL LIVE HERE within the city limits and you would be shocked at how well they would perform their duties when it could affect the street and neighborhood they live in.. Now a days, they all just punch out and go home to Green, Wadsworth, Norton, etc
You my friend have mental issues. The next time you are in need of a police officer DO NOT CALL THEM. Good luck!
I wonder why he would say neighbors should take the bull by the horns??What’s your thoughts meant al?
LET?police slack on doing their job?That doesn’t make sense.Requiring city employees to live in Barberton does though.I think you guys are turning cracketys comment into something it’s not.
I didn’t mean to imply that the police were slacking, the funny thing about dealers is they don’t want to get caught. So I believe it takes multiple calls for them to bring them down. Barberton Police can be picked up on any smart phone. So they can get a heads up. I support our police and congratulate them on bringing another one down. The building department I give a F for allowing the scrapyard to continue for so long. In fact on the bust it was the police that called them down to take pictures and finally do something!
Don’t forget to head downtown this weekend for the big festival. Going to be good food and nice weather.
RAIN all weekend.
Perfect weather once again
It rained on Saturday.
I wish the Masons had their famous baloney sandwiches at Cherry blossom guess I have to wait until mum fest! But then again who can resist a band boosters sausage sandwich!
They had to do away with it because baloney is racist.
Cherry Blossom Festival and RAIN! Bet on it! It is money in the bank every year!
You say this every year and it never rains?
Yes it does.
sunny and 75
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
You behind the horses again this year with your shovel?
FRIDAY – Rain, 74
SATURDAY – Thunderstorms, 75
SUNDAY – Thunderstorms, 78
In Seattle maybe? Not here. Going to be nice all weekend!
Nope. Rain and thunderstorms. Barber Road will be flooded.
huh? you are 0 for 8. Cooks in this town are more genius
Nope. 7-1. Only loss this year.
Saturday it rained.
Only 28 oblivious on the kimble poll!! Thing are looking up!!
If you’re a grown man of any color and you are driven around by your girlfriend or wife you might be a piece of chit! Or just a sissy.
You got owned!
I don’t feel tardy!!
Did you hear about Barberton’s new casino game ?? They are putting in a gambling window at the main entrance of magic city plaza. As a vehicle turns right leaving the plaza, you place your bet on whether or not the ball joint shatters or the tie rod breaks in 2. CITY STREET DEPT SHOULD BE ASHAMED !! That hole has to be 6 ft long and 3 ft deep.
BY THE WAY, ALL YOU IDIOTS POSTING JUVENILE SMACK TALK NEED TO BE BANNED. HERALD : PLEASE BAN THEIR IP ADDRESSES
I think you should all start a bitching club!! You could buy a short bus drive around town and in the fall you can bitch about the leaves (not being picked up or picked up to early or too late!!) Then in the winter you can drive around and bitch about snow removal!! Spring time could be pot holes!! And then summer could be grass at the park or maybe a neighbors grass that’s to high! You could write on your bus the b-town cry babies!!
Why drive around and complain? There is no need to. By your statement, even you are admitting that ALL of these problems do exist. You proved my point for me. How about we load up all of the over paid city slack offs and put them all on-board the “gravy train” and run it right out of town and start over with some workers who care? All wishful thinking but the train does not go down easy street 🙁
I believe he hit the nail on the head ,everything he wrote when your on the short bus is what you guys bitch about every year . So I think that you should go thru with operation short bus!!
U say shame train? My dog!!
I recommend taking the same route just go faster next time.
If you don’t have a job and complain about pot holes on a forum, you might be a red neck.
And if your make online posts that are on a 2nd grade intelligence level, you probably just munched on a Trump Box while slacking on the taxpayer dime
Or brown neck!! Be like I is an eqwal opportunist hater n sheit!!
Just wanted to say thanks to street Sept. for keeping up with potholes at 16th and WRW. Good Job! Just wondering who inspects cut outs and such from contractors like Dominion, who cut out of a nice road and do not restore it to a satisfactory level, and then does the street Dept. get complaints? Robinson Ave. Is an example. I won’t even go there about CSX and the Hudson Run tracks! Not complaining just wondering how they get away with it.
this is in the shopping center parking lot dummy. it has nothing to do with the city street dept. you are dum and should have ip address banned from here for making dummm statements
I will admit I am not the brightest bulb on the tree, but I was referring to the cut outs on 16th NW and was thanking them for fixing the potholes on 16th ST. At least to me they do the best they can with what they have to work with. I did complain about the plowing once because they just missed us I guess. If I can post to complain I can post to say thank you. And thank you for amusing me this snowy spring day!
Dumb
I think you should be happy the way Barberton kept the roads this winter and thankful you don’t live in the Norton school district I live in New Franklin my children graduated 10 years ago and this pushy witch Jennifer Bennett is demanding we pass yet another school levy Norton gives New Franklin nothing we have wells for are water and pay for our trash pick-up, we have our own fire department and police department so what give this lady the right to tell me I have to pass this, I had to pay for my children to play years ago how much more can you bleed the tax payers.
If it’s like Barberton, they will keep putting it back on the ballot until it passes. It’s not if, but when. It looks like enough homeowners showed up to temporarily put a hold on it. But where else could it come from??
Somebody call a whambulance!!!Can you hear the violins playing your song?Oh my!!!!!!!
Russia put those potholes there.
potholes no the vodka you must be swilling at 1230 am yes. try hitting the coffee pot and try posting an adult comment for change. you and a handful of other juvenile trolls have killed a forum that once was used to share city wide issues but then again you city backing cronies wanted that to begin with. job well done. go take another 40 hours of PTO time out of petty cash aka taxpayer money
city wide issues? no….all you do is complain and talk trash about people.. we turned this forum on you and you don’t like it… go blow smoke somewhere else…. better yet move out of Barberton….move now!
And I wouldn’t step foot into the coffee pot. that place is discus ting and should be shut down. Norm is shaking his head.
Killed it for dirtbags like you?? Perfection!!! Trump is your PRESIDENT!!!!! You’re this and you’re that and go do this and go do that.wha wha wha.Arrogance and ignorance sure do go hand in hand with you liberals!! It’s soon going to backfire!!!</
