To UticaShale - OK, so "due process" will delay it another week or two. Kelly's legal matters, including fines and jail time, has been ongoing 13 YEARS since 1999.
Drive by this home and you can see why Mr. Kelly is severely mentally disturbed. Piles of garbage throughout the house and yard, large tow chains with garbage attached hanging from the front yard trees, and a ladder on the house to enter and exit through the hole on the roof! This has been an ongoing case since 1999, with jail time and many fines levied onto Mr. Kelly. The neighborhood is suffering because of this pig stye of a condemned home.
My favorite song is "Keep The Candle Burning". POG rocks!
Youngstown needs more music concerts like this that the whole family can enjoy, even at the Covelli, vs. the vulgarity of Motley Crue, Korn and Ludacris
Its the blowhard Hagans, the Betras's and the Browns of Ohio politics that will assure Gov. Kacich election in 2014 and Senator Josh Mandell in 2012. School vouchers for everyone!
pgurney - Local, state and federal public funds absolutely need to be pulled into the surrounding neighborhoods to control crime, demo homes and fix roads. I admire your activism, which is a rarity, as most city residents are 3rd generation welfare or too old with little energy left to be on the front lines. Just take my advice and keep the MVOC out of YOUR neighborhood.
Simutaneously, I truly believe a marketing campaign to promote the benefits of downtown living and business start-up can pay off for itself, even on a well-planned, targeted SMALL budget, combined with both private and public funds. Phil Kidd has proven himself to work with little and get much out of it, I support all of his marketing efforts.
Mr. Kidd's individual efforts, along with DefendYoungstown, in marketing positive economic ventures for downtown have always been worth supporting. I look past the fact that Phil's employer, the MVOC/Kirk Noden, is geared towards cementing the socialist welfare model into the fabric of Youngstown culture, and I try to separate the man from his paycheck.
When we see the emphasis of pulling in family-neutral entities such as movie theaters (i.e. downtown Columbiana), bowling alleys, open-air markets, street vendors, full service grocery stores (i.e. Bottom Dollar), and dry cleaners, we can begin to hope to clean up downtown's dark, tarnished reputation and attract solid, middle-income families that spend their time and $$ within downtown.
In contrast, we see Lyndsey Hughes and the like proudly paint a picture of downtown with the bars, tattoo parlors, the bars, Occupy Communist Y-town (with the Lemon Grove owner at the front of the parade), the bars, sleazeball vulgar bands Motley Crew and Poison, the bars, and the after 6pm college crowd to drink, party, drink and drink.
If the latter is downtown's cesspool future direction, then the suburbs and rural destinations will shine even brighter.

Too bad EdChoice stole all of the students to Y-town Christian, Ursuline and Mooney. Thank you, Gov. Kasich, for your wonderful gift to inner-city families that are now enjoying a high quality and safe educational experience in the private schools. On that merit alone you deserve re-election.
Reports like this emboldens the criminals and puts fear in potential witnesses to step up and report violent crimes. What is wrong with the freaking court systems to let scumbags like Houser run free with no witness protection?
One year later, and this tragedy is still alive and well in the community's hearts and minds. My condolences to Jamail's family and friends, the media profiles show he was a well-liked individual with a bright future.
Plain and simple, Jamail was by choice in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a role model to young students, he had NO BUSINESS in a dangerous situation outside the door at 1am on the crime-ridden North Side hosting and promoting a frat-house alcohol drinking party. Legal or underage, large consumption of alcohol has always been a true scourge to our society and draws in the criminals and violence and revenge. May we all learn from this tragic murder and STAY HOME from dangerous, late-night venues! RIP Jamail.
