I was born in Youngstown and raised in Boardman. I left in 1980 at the age of 23 and went to Texas. I still go back every year and am always in touch with family and friends. There are wonderful memories of growing up there, one of the most beautiful parks in the country- Mill Creek Park, the amusement park Idora Park (gone since 1984), and the once booming steel industry made the city thrive. My late Mom would tell me about her dressing up as a child and going down town with her parents. Lots of great dining and fabulous food that would rival Chicago or NY. I think of it often and miss it. Youngstown, could have re invented itself but never figured out how to do it. A person could buy a beautiful home in a nice part a town for a very reasonable price. But then you have 6 mos. of cold weather and overcast skies. The summers are nice and fall colors. Home will always be home.

Thanks, so much, for posting the video. I grew up in Youngstown, but my family in 1976. I have very nostalgic memories of the city, Idora Park and Mill Creek Park . I hope to get back to visit, but I know it will be bittersweet. Thanks, again!

That's not all of Ohio though. Only two cities are really depressing, Toledo and Youngstown. Cleveland is a very cool place to visit and has a lot of stuff going on, and Columbus and Cincinnati are great places to live.
