They started in Streetsboro and moved to Aurora Farms and then they just moved to the white building across from remax on Route 43 in July and now they are gone from there. I really loved that store they had such nice scrapbooking supplies. Thanks. Does anybody know where Paper Expresions has moved to or are they out of business?

How many times have you ever been to Geauga Lake? (estimate if you have to) 2. How did you feel when you first heard the ride side was closing and the park was turning into just a water park? 3. Any special memories you've had there? 4. Are you going to go to any other parks this year instead (i.e. Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kennywood, Six Flags Great America)? 5. What was your favorite ride at Geauga Lake? 6. Did you (or your parents) ever go to another park that closed in the past? (i.e. Myers Lake Park, Kiddyland, etc.) 7. Your name and city of residence (if you are comfortable sharing that- if not, just a first name or anonymous with town of residence is fine). Thank you ahead of time!

We are in Weston Woods (near the Lakes for the newer residents) off of Cochran. It is completely out of character for him to not be at the door first thing for his breakfast. He likes going out when the weather is nice. We are hoping someone saw him and took him in rather than the worst. He is a sweetheart -- very affectionate.

It is very run down with no place for toddlers to safely use the pool wihtout parents holding them. Moving from a community (south euclid) that had an outdoor pool with zero entry, multiple slides, diving well, and nice grounds, and only charged 50 dollars a resident for a summer memebership there is no comparison. This was the only drawback I had moving to aurora was having no community pool and a poor park/playground system for toddlers compared to almost every other community in the surrounding area. Of note. Geauga Lake is only charging 45 dollars a adult and 35 a child next year for their water park for a summer membership. this includes free parking. This should be a nice fit for aurora residents until we get our own pool. SS Redwood pool is a joke and I would never pay the money to join there.
