@hellabb, I travel often, but I will always call Youngstown home. No one is making you stay. Move to Phoenix or San Antonio. Become a member of one of their news sites and post lousy comments there. Good riddance.
The thing is, Cedars isn't dead yet, and they weren't even close to being ready for that. The building was impossible for them to fix (financially), but this guy has the money and the tax abatements. Cedars is a bar, not a construction company. They were still bringing in a lot more money than most other bars in this town, just not enough to overhaul the building. The guy tells them the bar can stay then changes his mind once all of the papers are signed? Cool.
Yep, because closing a family-owned business that's been around for almost 40 years to replace it with a Mcdonald's is the Republican thing to do! (jerk)
I was there two weeks ago. Cedars is doing well. There are still frequently great out of town acts, and it is packed on the weekends and is packed on wednesdays during swing night. If they wanted to move on, do you think they would be willing to go and that this guy didn't have to "force the issue?"
Cedar's is honestly one of Youngstown's best assets. How could you close Cedar's? This is truly upsetting. They still book legendary shows that attract people from different cities. Attracting people from different cities is one of the best ways to promote Youngstown. Cedar's has a great reputation as a venue. This is a shame.

BREAKING NEWS: Youngstown police investigating East Side homicide
I love all of the racist posts when the ironic thing is that these people are actually from Columbiana County...meaning that they're probably white.

BREAKING: Obama unveils $500 million gun violence package
Why, WHY are tougher background checks and a ban on high-powered assault weapons such a terrible thing?
You don't need a high power assault rifle to go deer hunting. End of story.

For Sam Covelli, $10M donation to OSU represents loyalty
It would be nice if he would've invested that into YSU or something Youngstown/Warren related. Just saying.
