Default Looking for folks/clubs in Akron/Cleveland

So I have to move to Cuyahoga Falls near Akron for work and I'm trying to find how much f-bod interest is around there. I found some older posts but, since people come and go I wonder who still has interest. Also, anyone know good shops in the area? Got a GMMG that needs headers, a tune, and need some frc's welded on. Thanks!

Not in the falls yet, I'll be there by the 28th. You can find me at the Army recruiter's office by Chapel Hill mall.

I used to live there. There is an army recruit center on portage trail. It is about 1.5 miles east of state road. I don't know if there is one by the mall or not. Hope this helps.

They used to be on Portage trail but, they moved by the mall. All the branch's are right next to the Outback steakhouse. It confused me because when I went up there to check things out everything is still listed as Portage Trail.
