The good week keeps on for Yo.
Saturday was the historic Elton John show that ignited downtown in a way it hasn't seen in years.
Then dinosaurs invaded a packed Covelli Centre Tuesday and today.
Voters also said enough with Mahoning County operations and ousted a 12-year commissioner.
Now, "Inc." magazine sends the Youngstown magic global with a 10-page spread on the Youngstown Business Incubator and the city.
While the article anchors itself with the always-ready urban chatters we often see — like Phil Kidd, Tyler Clark, Jim Cossler and others, it is a fresh read to have it in front of an international audience.

the article was pretty good, but a glaring omission stood out: they failed to interview any women from the valley in their article. reporters always hit up the same half dozen or so people every time something is written about youngstown, and local women are rarely included. this is something i'd like to see improve, especially when we are being focused on by national publications.
