I remember not having to go through a war zone to get to the park! That was a very nice part of town. I worked there the summer of 1974 I had a great time every day that summer.
Unions have no place in Government, just ask the air traffic controllers from President Regan’s term. Teachers only work 9 months out of the year all Federal holidays off and then some and want a full retirement as they worked 40 hours a week for 30 years.
28 years ago I joined the Navy and got out of the Southside, and it was bad back then. Now, it’s terrible. I was in Youngstown last month visiting family and when I drove down Southern boulevard and Market street you could see the lawless, hookers and other crack heads conducting business as usual. Get rid of that and you may start to bring order back to the area.
I lived on Midlothian from 1980 to 1982. It was a nice place until around 1983. I got out of there in 1982 and joined the Navy. I still have family in Youngstown/Struthers and when I come back to visit family in the area it keeps getting worse. It’s very sad how the area has deteriorated. I am so glad I got out of there and away from the sub-culture.

Cicero Davis, environmental health director for the Youngstown Health Department, and Brenda William
That was Bill Michelle’s repair shop in the 70's. I remember my brother getting his car fixed there, I was about 12 and this was a great area to live.
