Actually, Poland is just south of Youngstown in the Boardman area. It takes
me the better part of an hour to get there, and I live just east of Canton.
It also takes about the same amount of time to get there from Akron.
The last time I was there I was able to get some nice pieces of suit weight
wool in a warm brown and pieces in a lovely blue red. I'm hoping to stop
this year on the way home from Pennsic.

Well, they must have heard you because they list a
store in Poland, which is in the Akron/Canton area.
Then there is one in Columbus area and the others are
split between Dayton and Cincinnati.
I don't think they have much to worry about from
JoAnn's. From what I can see they are turning into a
craft/decorating store. My local store has less and
less fine fashion fabric while the craft and quilting
sections grows. Last winter they didn't have any wool
at all.
And can someone explain why a fabric store needs a
candy section near the register?

There used to be loads more Hancock stores in Ohio.
A several years ago, on
the way home from Pennsic, I stopped at the store in
Boardman. The manager
told me that all of the stores in a 200 mile radius
had been closed. So far
as I can see, there are no more Hancocks in the
Cleveland area.
I once wrote to them 4 or 5 years ago and asked if
they'd consider putting a
store in the Akron/Canton area and was told that
there wasn't a customer
base.
I think that they're afraid of Jo-Anns (corporate
office in Hudson, just 15
minutes north of Akron).
