Odd Corner to relocate across street in midst of eminent domain suit
By Carol Biliczky

Published on Saturday, Jan 26, 2008
One of four property owners resisting eminent domain by the University of Akron will be moving across the street to continue his business.
Harry Jackson, owner of the Odd Corner at Brown and East Exchange streets, plans to move into 360 E. Exchange St. on May 1, his attorney, Warner Mendenhall, said.
Jackson bought the property from Waterstone Limited for $400,000.
Mendenhall said his client is continuing to fight the University of Akron's efforts to obtain his property at 389 E. Exchange St. for two major projects: a stadium and a residence hall in a multi-block area southeast of campus and west of state Route 8.
A jury trial for the Jackson property is scheduled for Feb. 5, Mendenhall said.
Jackson is one of six property owners who originally resisted UA's efforts to buy their land. The university sued the property owners in Summit County Probate Court last fall and sought to have all the court action completed by the end of 2007. Two property owners settled out of
court.
But court action for the remaining cases has stretched beyond UA's original timeline. In addition to Jackson's case Feb. 5, the trial against Fred Fanning, who owns five rental homes on three properties, is scheduled for Feb. 13, said Mendenhall, who also represents Fanning.
Trials haven't been scheduled for Joseph R. and Mona Nemer, who own the Sun Bar and Grille, a warehouse and other property, and for the Nemers' cousin, Manual, who owns buildings housing Aroma Coffee and Tea, Manny's Pub and Chopstix restaurant.
All of the contested properties are on Nash Street and East Exchange Street.
To keep construction moving, UA fenced the northern half of the project area and started to clear land on Friday. None of the properties north of Nash Street are involved in the eminent domain proceedings.
UA officials have said they want to finish the stadium in time for their first home football game in fall 2009. The residence hall would be finished about three months later.
