DOG-FRIENDLY PARKS IN CANTON, OH

Pro Football Hall of Fame stands as beacon in this city of 71,000, where Rust Belt manufacturing decline left challenges that persist despite downtown revitalization efforts. Continental climate delivers cold winters—January lows around 19°F with 50 inches of snow—and humid summers in the low 80s. The city sits in northeastern Ohio's industrial belt, where steel mills and automotive parts plants once employed thousands. Today's economy mixes remaining manufacturing with healthcare and service sectors as the region works to reinvent itself.
