Canton looks better than I expected; in fact, not so bad at all. My last previous visit was more than twenty years ago, and left me with a not-so-great impression, and I was pleased to see that the downtown is looking a little better. There are a lot of big holes in the downtown fabric, but that's fairly common in old midwestern industrial cities. The streets and sidewalks are clean, there's a decent amount of greenery, the remaining buildings seem mostly to be maintained, and it looks like there's some resurgence of business.

This place has character; the outside is newly-done contemporary design, but the inside is permeated with the musty smell of myriad old books on closely-packed shelves. Caged parakeets keep up a noisy chatter.
