Youngstown 2010 — oh, that thing again

I think a few other cities in Ohio ought to look at a strategic plan as Youngstown is doing. (Toledo, for example.) They're also losing population but I'm not aware of a plan to deal with it. If there is a vision, it has not been widely shared with the public. Bravo to Youngstown for naming the problem, putting it out there and trying to drum up some civic pride and teamwork to address reality. Branding the efort as "Youngstown 2010" is like turning an embarassing situation into a rallying cry for positive action. Rather than simply moan and complain about the "brain drain" as other cities do, it appears that Youngstown is on the right track by trying to make it the best place possible for the people who remain there. What a concept!

13-foot snake found hiding in closet

I'm not sure I believe this story. Killing cats I can understand. But who would give up closet space for a snake?
