The Hallinan Building was demolished March 2, 2013. Constructed in about 1913, it was most recently home to United Vacuum Cleaner and Wally Waffle.
A good neighbor is a found treasure, according to a Chinese proverb. Given this conventional wisdom, even as we are excited for the construction of the medical tower, we’re all a bit sad to see our neighbors moving away.
Here’s where they are now located.
Wally Waffle
845 W. Market St.
Akron, OH 44303
Are you still longing for those delicious, golden brown waffles? You can satisfy your Wally Waffle craving by visiting its new location in Highland Square. But for those who aren’t early birds, stop in for dinner. The restaurant is now open until 9 p.m.
United Vacuum Cleaner
1604 Home Ave.
Akron, OH 44310
United Vacuum Cleaner, a family business that operated out of the Hallinan Building on West Exchange Street for 58 years, is sweeping in new customers at its new location. Owner Anthony Bologna moved the store to a shopping strip on Home Avenue.
Child Guidance and Family Solutions
18 North Forge St.
Akron, OH 44304
Although it won’t be in the same location, Child Guidance and Family Solutions will continue to provide counseling and behavioral health services to local families. In addition to individual counseling, its new $5.25 million facility has space to accommodate large group counseling sessions.
