I am excited for all the changes happening in Youngstown. I feel we are on the right track. With investors coming in from out of town, it is easy to see Youngstown is a diamond in the rough. Keep up the good work!
After leaving Y-town 4 years because of a job relocation, it really saddens me to come "home" and see the plight of this city. It is awful. Leaving Y-town is the best thing I've ever done. I can make sure that when I leave,my car will need a wheel alignment. My house that I had taken pride in, and put so much money into has deteriorated. It's a dying city. I read a few months ago that Youngstown is one of the dyingness city in the country. Some were offended by it, but all they have to do is leave Youngstown and go back to visit. You will see that the statement is true. I live in a city where in the low income area, the streets are clean, there is no grass or should I say weeds growing wild. It all boils down to the city taking pride in itself.
Jails, institutions, and death. This is the Yo"s m.o. When are the people going to realize this. Nothings going to change, and believe me when i say this, everything is going to remain the same. I moved out of the Yo back in the late seventies and it was the best thing i could have ever done. I mean,in order for you enjoy it, you have to live it ! There is no way in the world that i would want to live and die in a place like that without having seen the world first. Cut the games.
How was it before the private prison came in?
Victor, please stay where your are, and no one's asking you to come back nor do we want to "believe" you or need you to reassure us. Now, pat your self on the back because. The rest of us can do just fine without your stale 40 year old personal reflections Then finish growing up .Look for another online newspaper to post your whiney comments to. Next, find some other city to bash, would ya? No star your your forehead today, sorry.
