Akronite of the Week

Meet Joy Rogers

Your Instagram host for the week of September 7, 2025

Meet Joy Rogers:

Born and raised in Akron — actually 5th generation and raising another generation. I have lived in West Akron nearly my entire life, specifically Highland Square for the majority of the last 20+ years. We love our old house and being close to Hereford Park and being able to walk up to the Square. I couldn’t pick a better neighborhood to raise kids in!


There are so many things I love about this town, but at the top of the list would be all the access to the outdoors! Not only are we minutes from a National Park, but we also have two incredible metro park systems in our backyard — not to mention a Great Lake less than an hour away!
