I grew up on Brown Street in South Akron just a few blocks south of Wilbeth road, back in the 1950's and 60's. It was a wonderful place to grow up, everybody knew everybody, and on Saturdays and Sundays, we would ride our bikes North to Wilbeth road, East to Arlington Street, (Arlington plaza) South to Waterloo road, down to South plaza, then North back up Brown street. We'd be gone all day long, and nobody ever worried about our safety. We were probably 10 yrs old. Crime was unheard of.
