This
image shows the area that now constitutes The Strip, shown as
the area above the highway (US Route 77 N/S).Before conversion
into a major strip retail center, it was a gravel excavation
site for Allied General. Afterwards, The Strip has become a
major retail center and employer in the North Canton area. Conversely,
the area is also a source of gridlock, low wage employment,
and light pollution. Furthermore, the Wal-Mart store will be
replaced by a larger facility behind The Strip. Concerns are
that the old store will not be reoccupied for some time.
