Welcome to Boardman. A nice place to call home!
Good job BPD !
Did this guy own the home, was he visiting it or was he just renting? I live in this area and have noticed alot of houses available for rent. I've also noticed some pretty precarious looking people living in these rentals. The slim from Youngstown seems to continue to encroach on the suburbs!
