Downtown Akron: April 3 - 17, 2020 how to support local

What You Can Do to Stay Connected and Support Downtown Akron

The photo above was taken a couple years ago, but it is also a photograph of the future.

Someday soon, we will be able to do all the things we love to do together in Akron and MUCH more. In the meantime, we can do our best to stay healthy and support one another. This edition of Do Downtown was created with that in mind.

If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH.

Clean & Safe in Downtown

DAP has added an overnight patrol to our clean and safe ambassador services, providing an extra set of eyes on the neighborhood Sunday - Wednesday until 3 a.m. This service complements the existing overnight, off-duty Akron Police patrol that DAP provides Thursday - Saturday nights until 3 a.m. the following morning.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ambassadors have added the extra precaution of disinfecting common touch points in the downtown area, including handrails, crosswalk and elevator buttons and door handles, to their daily list of services. Visitors to downtown Akron should still wash their hands regularly and follow all public health guidelines for limiting the spread of COVID-19.

For ambassador services or to report a problem, call the on-duty ambassador during hours of operation at 330-706-7383, Monday - Wednesday: 7 a.m. - 3 a.m. | Thursday - Friday: 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. | Sunday: 8 a.m. - 3 a.m.

For non-emergency issues outside of ambassador operating hours, use the Akron Police Department''s non-emergency numbers, 330-375-2181 or 330-375-2101. For any emergency at any time, call 911.

Support Local Businesses

Businesses are facing many challenges in the midst of the pandemic, from slow sales, to limited supply product availability, and, most importantly, considerations for the health and well-being of their employees.

DAP will continue to support and promote businesses who remain open, while also being committed to supporting businesses should they shift into hibernation, and through their recovery to full service on the other side of this crisis.

Downtown Akron: April 17 - May 1, 2020 how to support local

Signs of Spring: What You Can Do to Enjoy and Support Downtown Akron

The Japanese Cherry Trees have been in bloom along the Towpath Trail and, for many of us, they have brought some sense of normalcy and comfort to our present mostly-quarantined situation. You can get out and enjoy the Towpath, especially the stretch downtown, just remember to keep that physical distance of 6 feet between you and others. Other signs of normalcy: downtown restaurants are masters of takeout and delivery, so order up; and downtown businesses are making their unique products available online in cool ways. Hey, even baseball is back, as you''ll see below.

Note: If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH.

For Businesses and Employees

Downtown Akron Partnership is part of a multidisciplinary team of
leaders committed to providing a comprehensive resource for
information regarding COVID-19. Our goal is to provide timely, accurate and helpful resources for both businesses and employees through a webpage hosted by the Greater Akron Chamber of Commerce. Visit GreaterAkronChamber.org or go directly to the page.

Additional resources for downtown Akron businesses can be found on the Downtown Akron Partnership''s website.

*Check the Event Calendar on downtownakron.com for upcoming online webinars and advice sessions for small businesses and individuals.

Support Local Businesses

Businesses are facing many challenges in the midst of the pandemic, from slow sales, to limited supply product availability, and, most importantly, considerations for the health and well-being of their employees.

Downtown Akron: July 10 - 24, 2020 how to support local

Keeping Yourself and Others Safe in Downtown Akron

As you''ve no doubt heard, Summit County was classified a Level 3 coronavirus risk, so wearing a mask is essential to slow the spread of the disease and keep yourself and those around you safe. Given the need for masks in public places, both indoors and outdoors, we thought it a good idea to make you aware of all the cool mask options that downtown Akron businesses and organizations have for you to choose from. They range from the truly lovely to truly absurd and everything in between. So, you can stay safe, look good and support downtown business.

In the photo above, clockwise from the upper left: Northside Cellar carries an array of colorful options, locally-made by Stitches and Stowaways; Rubber City Clothing offers a selection, some emblazoned with a few choice words if you are feeling prickly; an Upcycled Akron Mask by Katie Wiebe (SEWKatieCo) and the Sugar Skull mask by Eric Wagner are part of the Curated Storefront''s Mask R Aid exhibition and you can buy them; 7th Floor Clothing offers bold, hip options; return to the Mask R Aid exhibition for some masks that enter the pantheon of contemporary art, like BACK 2 WERK by Iggy Soliven; Akron Children''s Museum has super-fun "surprise print" face coverings & each one you buy supports the museum; and the Akron RubberDucks are showing some home team spirit with their logo masks.

Last, but not least, several shops in Northside Marketplace have locally-made masks for sale. Just ask at the front register for help and they''ll lead to each one.

If you need to know all the mask requirements for Summit County, check this article on Ohio.com.

Note: If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH. If you need help in Summit County, call 2-1-1 or visit 211Summit.org.

For Businesses and Employees

If you are reopening or thinking about reopening your business, the Ohio Dept. of Health and the Small Business Development Center created a helpful 1-sheet list of responsible protocols to consider before you reopen. For a list of Sector-Specific Operating Requirements from the ODH, click here.

Utility Assistance: FirstEnergy has established a customer service team dedicated to non-residential customers to provide helpful information on available assistance programs and offer payment agreements if needed. If you would like more information, please contact your utility company at 1-800-633-4766 and ask to speak to a member of the Small Business Team. Members of this team are available 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

For timely, accurate and helpful resources for both businesses and employees visit GreaterAkronChamber.org or go directly to their resources page.

Clean, Safe and Welcoming

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ambassadors have added the extra precaution of disinfecting common touch points in the downtown area, including handrails, crosswalk and elevator buttons and door handles, to their daily list of services. Visitors to downtown Akron should still wash their hands regularly and follow all public health guidelines for limiting the spread of COVID-19.

DAP has added an overnight patrol to our clean and safe ambassador services, providing an extra set of eyes on the neighborhood Sunday - Wednesday until 3 a.m. This service complements the existing overnight, off-duty Akron Police patrol that DAP provides Thursday - Saturday nights until 3 a.m. the following morning.

For ambassador services or to report a problem, call the on-duty supervisor during hours of operation

at 330-706-7383.

Downtown Akron: December 11, 2020 - January 1, 2021 #PictureYourselfOnMain and #ShopLocal

As we head into the holidays, give yourself a treat and visit downtown with your masked-up COVID-free pod, because everything on Main St., in Lock 3 and Lock 4 looks really pretty this year. There''s lots of cool stuff to walk through outdoors and see in person, just keep your group masked and leave physical distance between yourself and others. There are lights and vintage window displays in Lock 3, light shows in Lock 4, the city of Akron Wishmas Tree, vintage holiday displays in shop windows, and a holiday-themed outdoor art gallery (with art from local artists and students).

Additionally, Archie the Talking Snowman is in Lock 3. He may or may not be talking, but you can still interact with the beloved Akron icon by putting your Letter to Santa in the special mailbox in Archie-land.

Don''t miss the artist-enhanced, life-size nutcrackers in the windows of the beautifully-lighted Polsky Building, as well as other Curated Storefront art windows, the Birds of a Feather and Angel Tree installation at Main Library (on High St.), and the lighted rotunda of the John S. Knight Center. Check our Picture Yourself webpage this week for a downloadable guide to all the windows on Main & High St.

Stay warm while looking cool with this handy guide from DAP.

Be Thoughtful. Shop Local. Your support of downtown businesses makes a huge difference, keeps money in the local economy and helps you avoid gifting the same old big box stuff you can get anywhere. Take a peek at DAP''s Facebook posts for gift ideas. You can shop in-person or online.

Visit downtown, and share your experiences with #PictureYourselfOnMain or #PictureYourselfAkron.

Happy Holidays and all the best for 2021!

Downtown Akron: June 12 - 26, 2020 how to support local

Together, We Can Make Downtown Akron a Place for Everyone

We never cease to be inspired by the members of our community. Akron is our family. We share our city''s sadness at the brutal injustices and inequalities born of the racism that we continue to witness in our communities and in our country.

We believe in the people of Akron, and we are committed to nurturing diversity and equity in downtown in everything we do -- from start-up assistance and business support to creating and programming public spaces where everyone is welcome.

We are also committed to organizational self-reflection and to doing the work to ensure that our efforts and support for downtown moves us closer to a vibrant, equitable downtown for all people. Keep working with us and let us know how we can help.

As Juneteenth is just around the corner (June 19), it''s the perfect time to reflect on where we are and to plan a path to where we might be, together. There are a few Juneteenth celebrations and programs in the calendar listings below, so be sure to check them out.

P.S. Father''s Day is Sunday, June 21. Maybe check out one of the downtown businesses below to find a great gift for dad.

Note: If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH. If you need help in Summit County, call 2-1-1 or visit 211Summit.org.

For Businesses and Employees

If you are reopening or thinking about reopening your business, the Ohio Dept. of Health and the Small Business Development Center created a helpful 1-sheet list of responsible protocols to consider before you reopen. For a list of Sector-Specific Operating Requirements from the ODH, click here.

For timely, accurate and helpful resources for both businesses and employees visit GreaterAkronChamber.org or go directly to their resources page.

Additional resources for downtown Akron businesses can be found on the Downtown Akron Partnership''s website.

Newly-added resources:

Ohio Minority Micro-Enterprise Grant Program

*Check the events listed below or downtownakron.com for upcoming online webinars and advice sessions for small businesses and individuals.

Support Local Businesses

Businesses are facing many challenges in the midst of the pandemic, from slow sales, to limited supply product availability, and, most importantly, considerations for the health and well-being of their employees and customers.

DAP will continue to support and promote businesses during this period of partial closure and cautious reopening, while also being committed to supporting businesses that remain closed. We are prepared to assist in recovery through cooperation and innovation. Below is a list of businesses you can continue to support with your purchasing power.

Downtown Akron: May 29 - June 12 2020 how to support local

Towpath Trail South of Akron Children''s Hospital

Downtown Akron''s Great Public Spaces Are Open to Everyone

Now that the days seem to be turning warmer, there are more opportunities to spend time outdoors. Downtown public spaces, like the Towpath Trail, Lock 4 and (soon) the Northside Green are great places to visit to get some exercise, fresh air, or to take a little time to enjoy your lunch if the patios or dine-in options downtown are full. These spaces are a unique and vital part of our history and a crucial part of our future as a vibrant, valuable downtown, and they are only going to get better, more connected and more accessible. Case in point, just check out the recent news about the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation''s investment in Akron Civic Commons (see the sidebar below). It''s coming, sooner than we think.

In the meantime, continue to be safe, try to support downtown businesses and residents and enjoy the public spaces. We''re doing this together, and together we can create and maintain a Physically Distanced, Socially Connected, Healthy Downtown.

Note: If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH. If you need help in Summit County, call 2-1-1 or visit 211Summit.org.

For Businesses and Employees

If you are reopening or thinking about reopening your business, the Ohio Dept. of Health and the Small Business Development Center created a helpful 1-sheet list of responsible protocols to consider before you reopen. For a list of Sector-Specific Operating Requirements from the ODH, click here.

For timely, accurate and helpful resources for both businesses and employees visit GreaterAkronChamber.org or go directly to their resources page.

Additional resources for downtown Akron businesses can be found on the Downtown Akron Partnership''s website.

*Check the Event Calendar on downtownakron.com for upcoming online webinars and advice sessions for small businesses and individuals.

Support Local Businesses

Businesses are facing many challenges in the midst of the pandemic, from slow sales, to limited supply product availability, and, most importantly, considerations for the health and well-being of their employees and customers.

DAP will continue to support and promote businesses during this period of partial closure and cautious reopening, while also being committed to supporting businesses that remain closed. We are prepared to assist in recovery through innovation and a return to full service on the other side of this crisis. Below is a list of businesses you can continue to support with your purchasing power.

Downtown Akron: June 26 - July 10, 2020 how to support local

Together, We Can Make Downtown Akron a Place for Everyone

We said this last time, but it is true again this time: We never cease to be inspired by the members of our community. July is at our doorstep, and post-Juneteenth 2020, we continue to think about, speak to one another about, and plan how to do the work that must be done to create a more equitable, safe, welcoming Akron for everyone. On the Saturday after Juneteenth, we were lucky enough to work with vocalist, teacher and voice-researcher Jaron LeGrair to create an afternoon meeting in Lock 3 that we called A Message of Hope: Gospel on Deck. It, along with the newly-painted Black Lives Matter mural on Howard St., demonstrated the power of art to bring us together, to ask difficult questions of one another and to begin to answer some of them with a sense of purpose and hope. Downtown Akron Partnership captured video of both Gospel on Deck and the dedication of the Black Lives Matter mural. We hope you''ll be as inspired as we are by both.

Independence Day is here and there are a number of events you can take part in to celebrate. In particular, Akron Zoo and Summit Historical Society have partnered to offer a 4th of July hike to the John Brown Monument. This is a rare opportunity, as the monument isn''t generally accessible to the public. The RubberDucks are hosting a family movie, Frozen 2, followed by fireworks at the ball park, and there will be neighborhood fireworks displays throughout the city. Be safe in all ways so we can maintain a physically distanced, socially connected, healthy downtown, and have an enjoyable 4th.

Note: If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH. If you need help in Summit County, call 2-1-1 or visit 211Summit.org.

For Businesses and Employees

If you are reopening or thinking about reopening your business, the Ohio Dept. of Health and the Small Business Development Center created a helpful 1-sheet list of responsible protocols to consider before you reopen. For a list of Sector-Specific Operating Requirements from the ODH, click here.

For timely, accurate and helpful resources for both businesses and employees visit GreaterAkronChamber.org or go directly to their resources page.

Additional resources for downtown Akron businesses can be found on the Downtown Akron Partnership''s website.

Clean, Safe and Welcoming

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ambassadors have added the extra precaution of disinfecting common touch points in the downtown area, including handrails, crosswalk and elevator buttons and door handles, to their daily list of services. Visitors to downtown Akron should still wash their hands regularly and follow all public health guidelines for limiting the spread of COVID-19.

DAP has added an overnight patrol to our clean and safe ambassador services, providing an extra set of eyes on the neighborhood Sunday - Wednesday until 3 a.m. This service complements the existing overnight, off-duty Akron Police patrol that DAP provides Thursday - Saturday nights until 3 a.m. the following morning.

For ambassador services or to report a problem, call the on-duty supervisor during hours of operation

at 330-706-7383.

Ambassador hours of operation - now seven days a week through support from Akron Civic Commons

Monday - Wednesday: 7 a.m. - 3 a.m. | Thursday - Friday: 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. | Sunday: 8 a.m. - 3 a.m.

Responsible Restart: What You Can Do to Enjoy and Support Downtown Akron

If you haven''t had a chance, now is a good time to review Governor DeWine''s Responsible RestartOhio plan which is designed to protect the health of employees and customers, control the spread of COVID-19, and responsibly reopen Ohio''s economy. You can read the plan in its entirety on the Ohio Department of Health''s website. The Greater Akron Chamber has gathered links to important portions, including best practices, sector-specific operating requirements, a timeline of industry specific openings and businesses that are to remain closed during the Stay at Home Order.

Note: If you have questions about COVID-19, visit the the Ohio Department of Health website at coronavirus.ohio.gov. You can also call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH.

Don''t forget: Sunday, May 10 is Mother''s Day, and there are lots of ways to celebrate your mom, from phone calls, to cards, watch parties on Facebook and, of course, by sending gifts. We have it on good authority that if you place your orders in the next few days, many downtown businesses can ship, deliver or prepare something for you to safely pick up for mom. Need some ideas? Check out the sidebar below.

For Businesses and Employees

Downtown Akron Partnership is part of a multidisciplinary team of
leaders committed to providing a comprehensive resource for
information regarding COVID-19, including the governor''s recent announcement for Responsible RestartOhio. Our goal is to provide timely, accurate and helpful resources for both businesses and employees through a webpage hosted by the Greater Akron Chamber of Commerce. Visit GreaterAkronChamber.org or go directly to the page.

Additional resources for downtown Akron businesses can be found on the Downtown Akron Partnership''s website.

*Check the Event Calendar on downtownakron.com for upcoming online webinars and advice sessions for small businesses and individuals.

Support Local Businesses

Businesses are facing many challenges in the midst of the pandemic, from slow sales, to limited supply product availability, and, most importantly, considerations for the health and well-being of their employees and customers.

DAP will continue to support and promote businesses during this period of partial closure and cautious re-opening, while also being committed to supporting businesses that remain closed. We are prepared to assist in recovery through innovation and a return to full service on the other side of this crisis. Below is a list of businesses you can continue to support with your purchasing power.

Jane''s Walk
and ''Round About Akron

This weekend was to have been Jane''s Walk Festival 2020, but due to the pandemic, organized group walks are not possible. However, we encourage you to enjoy the nice weather (forecast) for the weekend to engage in your own Jane''s walks around town.

Jane''s Walk is a community-based approach to city building based on the ideas of visionary urbanist Jane Jacobs. Jane''s walks make space for people to observe, reflect, share, question and re-imagine the places in which they live, work and play.

Jane''s Walk collects stories and photographs from walks that have happened around the world and publishes them on janeswalk.org.

You can use ''Round About Akron to immerse yourself in the history of downtown and inform virtual explorations of downtown Akron, or your own actual walking tours in downtown.

As always, we encourage you to exercise all the safety measures recommended by department of health offices during the pandemic, including using masks and exercising social distance.

DAP has added an overnight patrol to our clean and safe ambassador services, providing an extra set of eyes on the neighborhood Sunday - Wednesday until 3 a.m. This service complements the existing overnight, off-duty Akron Police patrol that DAP provides Thursday - Saturday nights until 3 a.m. the following morning.

For ambassador services or to report a problem, call the on-duty supervisor during hours of operation at 330-706-7383.
