the term end of the world became very real to me when our manufacturing collapsed. I'm from Ohio too. North Central Ohio. pisses me off. I'm glad we have manufacturing back here! I'm glad to be back home.

My former hometown, Youngstown, now looks like little Detroit :(

No where near it. I go back to Youngstown twice a year. If you go to the parts where people actually live it's way nicer now than when I lived there almost 20 years ago. No one wants to live in houses built in the 1940's and before so those area's are just slowly being abandoned. Unlike Detroit though Youngstown is actually tearing those houses down. Detroit could learn from Youngstown actually.

ConnorFFA well the economy needs a major shot in the arm or Youngstown will never improve. It is about attracting different types of business and creating good paying jobs. Evidently Youngstown is just like Niagara Falls NY, it just cannot seem to get its act together.

@@thomasjust2663 Excluding the North End of Chicago the rest of the City is a Dump. Plus one of the reasons why Youngstown has been very slow to recover is due to the Pollution caused by the Manufacturing Plants. Even though these plants are 40-50 years and still haven't been used the ground and area around it are still very much contaminated.

Yes it can be.....but the city must realize that the U.S economy has no appetite to reinvest manufacturing...... the World economy makes it nearly impossible. What will help Youngstown is a Diversified Economy. Meaning not being sold on the belief that United States manufacturing can produce cheap product with high labor cost. Retrained Workforce.

Youngstown is quite similar to Niagara Falls NY. Widespread poverty and urban decay, most neighborhoods empty due to demolition and clearance, deindustrialization.

To really understand how bad it is now - even as recently as 30 years ago, almost every lot has a house on it. All the vacant land you see today used to homes.

There are a lot of large houses there!

Really close to my street lol we are on the other side of market st.

lived there in the 70's & 80's on Montgomery off Wilson Ave....not the same :(

AS WITH MOST CITYS THAT WERE ONCE GREAT, WHAT PPL YOU THINK RUINED IT? THINK HARD AND DARK.

I remember 50 years ago Youngstown was thriving then the 80s came with the crack cocaine and ripped the soul out of Youngstown with crime, addiction, murders, dealers hanging out on street corners with their pagers, hookers, aluminum siding being stripped off abandoned houses, etc. Watched a beautiful city simply lose its people and jobs and the end result is what you see now. Young people need to move to more prosperous states because the rust belt is rusting away. Sure downtown Youngstown got a face over but that doesn't help the poor and jobless.

GOOD JOB!

The only thing you can realistically do is tear down the blight, again and again and again. There is no reason for anyone to live in Youngstown without a diversified economic base which really doesn't exist. The rebirth will start in downtown and slowly work its way out.
