I moved away from Stark County to Oklahoma City in 2013. In recent years, I've actually begun to miss it. I do like how there is new economic development happening in Stark County. It actually began before I moved. I just wish it would reach a point where people stop leaving, or actually begin moving in. I know I'm contemplating moving back.

My Great Grandmother helped make the laugh in the dark lady. They had her the McKinley Museum a few years back. I guess she worked where they made papier-mache mannequins. My Grand mother has a baby doll she made her there.

I lived in Stark County growing up and learned a lot from this video. However, the video quality is poor. Is there a better quality video available somewhere? I’d like to watch this on my TV but it’s so pixelated…

[@romine777]

Too bad politicians and elitists frittered away a lot of the industry to overseas locations. In the 1950's and 1960's, Stark County was a booming community with jobs galore.

[@theheathkitshop2424]

Not one peep about Republic steel which had plants in both Canton and Massillon.
