Being a teen in the 60s, Idora was 'the' place. WHOT Day was the best. Always hoping to meet one of the opposite sex. I moved to Houston in '78 and got to enjoy Astroworld. They are both gone now.
I moved from Youngstown to Houston in 1978. Bowling was the common denominator to make friends in Texas. I moved to eastern W.V. in 1995 and the same here. I would hate to see league bowling disappear. I don't think centers market league bowling very well. Because of the competition for the dollar centers need to market better.
It's been that way for the Eastside forever. It's like it doesn't exist. Back as far as the sixties the Eastside was always last getting anything especially snow removal.. Potholes were always filled last. The Eastside could fall off the face of the earth and it would take the city a month to realize it.
The place is not the problem, the person is the problem. I moved from Ytown to Houston in 1978. I gor sober in 1989 while I was still in Houston. They didn't remove alcohol from Texas cause I got sober. Quit killing Ytown because someone is a drunk. That's idiotic and ignorant to the disease. You can move him to Salt Lake City or Timbucktoo and he will find alcohol. I visited Utah and guess what? There'a alcohol there. There's also sobriety. Bill W chose looking for another drunk in Akron instead of buying a drink. GET OFF YOUNGSTOWN!
People in Kelly's position will be enabled. Not too many people will tell him no. Now Kelly has to get the 'tools' to tell himself no. Not just to alcohol. To life distractions. This is Kelly's life,. He has to be able to admit he has this problem. When he admits deep down he has a problem then he can start his life over without alcohol. It's not easy. Extremely difficult. When your best friend turns on you it is very difficult. It takes time but only one day. There is alot of support outside of boxing and I hope he relies on it. Twenty-one years ago I was there. We are all drunks. No one better than the other because of life status.
I had a house listed with Ms. Martin. She was a very nice lady. It is a very sad story. I live in WV and needed to sell my mother's house in YTown. Vivian was extremely helpful. I had only talked to her in person a few times but when I saw her picture yesterday it really saddened me.
You're talking Youngstown, not Beverly Hills. Be happy with what you have. With all the negativity that surrounds Ytown, enjoy. Criticism can come from outside the city. Seems as though everytime an article is written about the worse cities to live in there's Youngstown. I'm a native, but moved in 1978 because there was NOTHING THERE. So give it a break, and don't forget the past.

Local bowlers reflect on what matters the most
I moved from Youngstown to Houston in 1978. Bowling was the common denominator to make friends in Texas. I moved to eastern W.V. in 1995 and the same here.

Youngstown East Siders 'have had enough'
It's been that way for the Eastside forever. It's like it doesn't exist. Back as far as the sixties the Eastside was always last getting anything especially snow removal..
