By July of 2020, The Westmont apartment building in the Highland Square neighborhood of Akron will be ready to take new tenants.  Those tenants will be families with children that attend the 'I Promise' School, who may be in need of a safe place to call home while the Lebron James Family Foundation helps them to work out a long term plan to better their situation.   The “I Promise Village by Graduate Hotels” is a joint effort by Graduate Hotels and the LJFF to provide transitional housing for students and their families who may be in a difficult situation and have nowhere else to go.  Renovations and updates have already begun on the building, just 5 blocks from the I Promise School, with the goal to have it move-in ready for the next school year.

Halloween Fun for the Whole Family

Haunted Houses and Scary Movies aren't for everyone, and if you have small kids, or kids that are a few years apart in age, it can be tough to find a fun Halloween activity for the whole family to enjoy together.

From local Costumed-Pet-Parades and indoor trick or treating at the IX Center, to Pumpkin patches and Kid Friendly days at Cedar Point, there is far more family friendly stuff to do now than ever before.
