“From attending St. Mary’s and Elyria Catholic, to meeting my wife, and raising a family, Elyria has been a source of most of the good things in my life.”

“I love Elyria because growing up here gave me my strong foundation of family and friends and ultimately made me the person I am today. I’m passionate about sharing what it means to be an Elyrian with others. ”

“I love Ely Square. It is one of the prettiest squares around. I love the older neighborhoods with all their beautiful, stately trees.”

“Elyria.  Filled with history and potential.  Abundance of family, corporate, education and religious diversity. Parks and trails to explore. Architecture and art to appreciate. Paced to thrive.  Challenges to conquer.   Hard to spell when heard, hard to pronounce when spelled – that is why I love Elyria.”

“I love Elyria!! I’m a lifelong Elyrian and proud of our history and the great citizens who call Elyria home. We are a microcosm of America. Moving forward we are determined to polish our city and improve our image to make Elyria the best ever!!”

“I have lived in Elyria all my life, nowhere else I would rather live. My family, friends, my memories are in Elyria. It has always been a wonderful community, rich in history full of stories from the past, friendly/caring residents, great schools, wonderful parks, always something happening – Elyria is home and I love this City!”

“I love Elyria for the city it has been in the past, the city it is now, and the city it can be in the future.”

“From the moment that I stepped foot in Elyria, 5 years ago I was shown nothing but love. Elyria, easily became home to me in Fall of 2016. Our city is filled with smiling faces and community members who truly care about the wellbeing of their city. It is because of the pride so many take in being from Elyria, that I have seen so much positive change in the short time I have lived here. To put it simply, I love Elyria because no idea is too small here, I have seen many people’s dreams become reality and I’ve seen how our community can come together to effect change.”

“I love Elyria because of its people who are dynamic, diverse and dedicated. There is so much potential here!”

“The people. Elyrians are some of the kindest, smartest, funniest, and most enjoyable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.”

“I love the parks, the people and the potential. I see so much opportunity in Elyria and hope to be part of the growth. There’s something about the beauty in Ely Square during the holiday season, the sweetness from Suzin L’s chocolates, the rush from racing waterfalls in Cascade Park & East Falls Riverwalk, and everything in between that makes this legacy city so great. My husband and I decided to make this our home and home is where the heart is!”

“I love Elyria because of its beautiful landscape, rich history, and friendly people.”
