where should we live in cleveland?
my husband and i are thinking of moving to cleveland from akron. i work in downtown cleveland (near the galleria) and he works at akron u. we have a friend living in lakewood who he would carpool with occasionally, so somewhere not too far out of the way from that would be great. i really like little italy and coventry, but i'm not sure... we would like somewhere with a lot going on - art galleries, restaurants, bars, shops... and preferably a rapid station too. we're going to be renting and can spend about $750 on rent, a little more would be ok. thank you!

I think you should just weigh your pros & cons of living in either the east side or the west. Lakewood & the surrounding area does have a lively art scene. But Coventry & Little Italy does as well. Coventry & Little Italy have CIA right next door as well as the art museum. I live in the Coventry area, so to me I know of a lot more artsy things going on, I'm with an artist so I would say east side. I'm not that familiar with the west side, but I do know there is a striving art community over there as well. Coventry & little Italy are not that far away from both University Circle Rapid or the E.120th Rapid station. There is a lot of great food on Coventry & in Little Italy. Lakewood is known for its many bars. I think maybe spend more time in each neighborhood & see where you & your husband would prefer to live.

With your husband working in Akron, consider easy access to freeways as well as the ease of your downtown commute. Tremont or downtown apartments perhaps would provide the easiest and quickest access to I-77. East 4th Street/Euclid Ave. apartments reportedly begin at $525 plus about $100 for parking. http://www.east4thstreet.com/properties.php http://www.east4thstreet.com/home.php# East 4th would be tough to beat if you're looking for an exciting neighborhood. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/08/realestate/commercial/08fourth.html It's possible that you could find an affordable apartment in the warehouse district as well. http://www.warehousedistrict.org/district/ You could use the free downtown trolleys to get to work, so you would need only one car. Being so close to both Tower City and right on the Healthline, you would have no trouble getting to anywhere in Cleveland, such as Little Italy or Coventry. You could shop regularly at the West Side Market. An RTA monthly pass would cost only $85. If you add up how much it costs to drive a car even on errands, the savings could offset much of the cost of the pass, especially if gasoline prices go back up to recent highs. Tremont might be as cheap as Coventry, and would offer excellent bars, restaurants, galleries, etc. Tremont would be much closer to your husband's car-pooling friend in Lakewood and would offer much better freeway access than either Coventry or Little Italy. http://www.restoretremont.com/ http://www.pluggedincleveland.com/apartments_for_rent/tremont_ohio/ Have you considered looking at condos? Even without the new homebuyers credit, which may be extended, a condo on an after-tax basis might cost you less than renting, even including the maintenance fee! Many condos are very cheap right now, in Lakewood and elsewhere. It's at least worth pulling out a calculator and calling a few realtors. BOL!

About How can I get a job as a veterinary assistant in Akron, OH
How can I get a job as a veterinary assistant in Akron, OH?
I'm going to be applying for admission to vet school in two years and I need experience working in a vet clinic. I've sent out resumes and called to follow up, but no one will hire me or even take my calls. Does anyone have any tips to actually get hired?

talk to your vet that what i did actually my vet is my familys good friend so it was easy to ask her now i go over when ever i can

You can not be a vet assistant without some schooling or clinical work. Do you mean kennel assistant? That is what they hire for entry level employees. Also, it is very very hard to get a job in a vet- if you don't have any experience, you probably will not get a job. For my experience, I have a year at a vet office, work in a zoo in the summer, and have owned pretty much every family of animals since I was young- I still do not get hired. It is very competitive. Your best bet for some animal experience would be to voluteer at a shelter, work at a stable or livestock facility, try for a job at a dog sitting center, etc. Once you have that basis, people will start looking at you for a possible job canidate.

You could become a receptionist. But to be an assistant you will need to go to vet tech school. Usually community colleges or technical schools offer this curriculum.

Have you tried a resume or application. Go talk to the vet you want tell them your willing to donate a certain amount of hours for free.They do take on apprentices from time to time. Good Luck

Why don't you check out the Akron Zoo? I was just checking out their website the other day, and there's a section where you can sign up to volunteer. I know, it's probably not what you're looking for, but it is a foot in the door! Did you try Dr Gary Riggs office? He's the vet for the Akron zoo, but he's also an exotic animal vet. I think his office is in Norton. You can probably find him on Google.
