This video is great, I was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. I was there when the steel mills started to close down in 1977. I now live in the Cincinnati metro area now over 40 plus years. But I was check news on my hometown and I go home to visit once a year to be with my family. I love Youngstown because it helped me become a good citizen and person for that I love my hometown.

My grandfather Fred Bankston worked here he still picks out steel from his hands til this day & still stays on Warren ave ❤️❤️❤️

I miss Youngstown. Born and raised. Went to Rayen High School. No other place like it. I would've stayed forever if there was work.

Hi Tom. When did you live in Youngstown? When did you leave? I'm thinking it was after 1977. Around 1980? Tell us what you remember growing up.

This is wonderful.

This is seriously impressive! Love my city!

My gramps and his parents immigrated to Ytown in 1924 from Prague --- he worked in the steel mills his whole life and made a nice life for his family --- makes me sad to see the shitty depressing city that Ytown is today

Yes, many Eastern Europeans came to the US for work. I traced a distance relative from Romania to Youngstown. He served in both wars for the US.

Thanks for posting this.

I remember when it changed. The 216 area code seems like SO long ago. Was it due to all the fax machines? :)

And now this city is just the Gang's War ground.

This is my town, dead town.

And no ppe

Men from the best generation!@@johnmontecalvo1508

Looks like these older folks were running the plants themselves. They were suffering for their kids and they knew everything about those mills, while the young are the privileged learning "theories" and coming home thinking their parents were dumb. Sorry, I just had to say it! My parents worked hard for me and I was privileged and did not know it. I respect my parents but I don't think I respected them enough for what they did for me.

Lmao working class people generally aren’t well educated and their entire life is centered around their job. They think they’re the center of the world. Get with the times, this nostalgia for Y-Town is very misplaced. “The good old days” also included severe redlining, putrid race relations, mafia controlled government corruption, a profitable KKK presence and murders/arson/theft as far as the eye could see. Older folks think they had it tough, but in reality if you were white working class in Youngstown, especially during the 1930s-1970s, you were as privileged as it gets.

Yep, and now their all gone😕

Now we rely on China 🇨🇳 and Mexico 🇲🇽 to build our stuff. Way to go American 👏

We always relied on China. Since before America was made. All the way back to England. Germany industrialized China a long time ago.

This video makes me wonder, if we had another world war, we cant produce our own steel anymore! We get alot from china....but what if thats who we are fighting?

Why can't we bring back the early 1960s Mob car bombing?
