I lived in youngstown (yes I know its in all lowercase thats how much respect I have for the city) for 20 years, I recently just moved to Charlotte, NC. After seeing the beauty and life that Charlotte has, I know now that Mayor Williams' 2010 plan is just his way of blowing smoke up our a**. youngstown was once a great steel city,in between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Now youngstown has turned into a filthy, crime and drug ridden hell hole. Small business owners are losing jobs left and right and no one seems to care. So I ask Mayor Williams, do you really think youngstown has a chance? Honestly, I feel that youngstown will slowly, but surely become just another town someone drives through on their way to somewhere nicer and larger. I know one thing, I will never return to youngstown unless its to visit family and friends, and hopefully convince them to leave.
Youngstown makes list of decaying cities
