I go to Wick Park! And, I do declare myself a “decent” person.
Know what else? I also go to Stambaugh Auditorium, Full Circle Florist, Dorian Books, North Side Farmers Market, Edwards Flowers, events at the Unitarian Church on Elm, been to service at Richard Brown United Methodist Church also on Elm, and they are all around Wick Park!
I lived in Wick Park, still have many friends living in Wick Park, and say THANK YOU to the WPNA, CityScape and Youngstown Foundation.
Realty Towers haven't filled up because the rent is unreasonable and most educated people choose not to give their money to Frangos.
The Federal Building, which is being renovated by a respectable and local construction company, is a different story. The 14 units are already filled up and there is a need for more.
I think city officials will find that more and more people want to live downtown, and that renters will choose to support the contractors that are invested in the city, as well as the Mahoning Valley.
I have to agree with the city on this one. We need a store downtown that is willing to step up and offer fresh foods and other quality products. If the owners appeal to the downtown work crowd and fill shelves with sustainable inventory, I think they will be pleasantly surprised at the success. If they cater to the non-professionals roaming the streets during the day by offering beer, wine, lottery tickets, junk food and tobacco products, then one would think other people may be deterred from entering the store.
Additionally, this store will probably be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or thereabout. It is doubtful that people working in the city would be purchasing six-packs during the day and after work they have plenty of great establishments to support, Lemon Grove, Draught House, Café Cimmentos…. I’m not suggesting the city should be turning away business; however, in order for continued progress we need to start encouraging diversity on Federal Street. With all the new apartments downtown and YSU’s expanded connectivity to downtown, a niche grocery store is a must, and the Muslehs have a real opportunity to offer just that.
This is a great event and a lot of fun! Pizza Joe's started Thrill or No Thrill in New Castle three years ago to benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lawrence County. Last year's event raised nearly $13,000.
United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley helps so many people and attending this event is an easy way to support UW's efforts, not to mention you'll have an awesome time :)
Great story and great news! When I watched the segment on CBS about Cameron Carpenter, I was so hoping that he would come play the pipe organ at Stambaugh! We are so fortunate to have an arts facility such as Stambaugh in Youngstown. Please, please take advantage.
This was a great parade/picnic! My great aunt and uncle both had businesses in Lansingville and I can remember going there as a child. They would be happy to know people are still involved in the community and working to make it a better place to live. Thanks to the block watches and individuals who donate their time and efforts - Youngstown needs you.

WORLD OF WONDER
This is going to be such a great asset to downtown and to the Valley. Hopefully area schools will take full advantage and families will do the same.
I know I'm looking forward to bringing my nieces to Oh Wow!! Best of luck to the staff - keep of the positive work :)
