Born in Youngstown, still has family in Youngstown, and understands the problems in the area. It is only a hop, skip, and a jump from Austintown to Boardman anyhow. I get depressed whenever I do come home, Youngstown has changed so much. Growing up on the southside, and seeing the state of it, just upsets me. I have seen Obama speak three times now in person. Once at St. Johns at O.S.U., Once in Dublin, Oh. and yes at Y.S.U.. I am sure that he saw the path that Youngstown has been on while driving over to the campus. It is hard not to, considering how dismal the area looks. I can remember what Ausintown, Boardman, Niles, etc. used to look like also. Even the suburbs of Youngstown are heading in the wrong direction. If you want the same old things, and if you the voters of Mahoning county wish to travel on the same path then McCain and Palin should be your choice. If you are willing to take a risk, then Obama and Biden should be your answer. Considering the state of the area, Change probably would be a good thing. Could it get any worse? Do not need a sign on name to hide my identity either. Joe Teague Jr c/o 89, lived in Columbus ever since I graduated from Wilson, and yes my high school does not even exist any more.
Barack and Biden eat breakfast in Boardman
