Driving by Lorain,Ohio

[@cookiewoo2344]

Lets take a more closer look..,pot holes everywhere..and a lot of abandoned buildings that truly need to come down...and yes this is my home town..that I do luv..but needs revamping. And it has potential..I'm happy that hopefully soon Spitzer Hotel will reopen...then maybe downtown can add some businesses..and that up and going again.The potential is there.

[@HailAres]

Seriously. I'm from Elyria and drove through downtown the other day. It has phenomenal potential as a beautiful bustling city on the lake. I picture restaurants with tables outside on the sidewalk, hotels, a totally commercialized town that people actually want to spend time in and visit. Just look at Lakeview.

[@JeraltStonehart]

Thanks for the video. I grew up here and haven’t been back in a long time. I used to work at the Palace Theatre!

[@joshua.snyder]

Love Lorain! Thanks for this trip through my old neighborhood. It has had a great and at times rough life, but the memories are still strong.

[@lou_sassole]

U really love lorain? Why?

[@joshua.snyder]

@@lou_sassole 😆 I get it. I loved my childhood in Lorain in the 80's, to put a better point on it. Once Ford, Steel and other key industries left a lot broke down in Lorain. Good place to be in those days anyway.

[@johns4384]

I left in 83 for the US Army, because U S Steel wasn't what it used to be. The start of the rapid decline of a once pretty busy town. Also worked at Bill's Auto Body on 28th Street. It is so sad to see my old home town in this poor state. Somehow, I doubt it will ever be revived. Also saw a video here on you tube showing the demolition of Southview HS. Who still lives here anyway?

[@FrankenVega]

Sad state of a city. All industry is gone which contributed to the decline.

[@uberalias301]

@@FrankenVega bullshit, it's not the industries, it's the people.

[@pepper1188]

I was born there and my grandparents lived there all their lives. It was a bustling vibrant town when U.S. steel was still going. I have very fond memories of Lakeview Park.. going down Broadway to pick up my grandma at the Jupitar. In retrospect it all seems Charming now

[@jstaggs7218]

I had the best childhood there

I miss Fligners...We used to go to that store religiously! Great to see my old town again!

My grandmother lived at 7th Street and Hamilton Ave in Lorain but we lived in Avon Lake. I remember playing in Founders Park between 6th and 7th Streets. The Lorain High School, (right across the Hamilton Ave from grandmothers house) Band used to march down 7th Street to practice. My grandmother bought her milk from the Lorain Creamery (of course) and I can remember when the delivery "vehicle" was pulled by a horse. I believe it was local genre for those local to the area. They had a milk truck in Avon Lake.

It’s 2021 now and it’s changing a little bit...things are changed in downtown..the Hotel is back up and running somewhat...we’re still in Covid-19 stage.

[@THYUNTOUCHyt]

I take one look at this and i see a city of old a new decade has brought lorain onto the comeback trail In all of my 23 years of my life i am very proud to be born and raised in lorain this city has a voice and that voice is being heard not only by the state of ohio but by the world because we are the international city we have taken steps for success in the past and we shall continue to do so for out future

DAryl Morland yes you can trust me. I just moved out. As much as I love Lorain for it being my hometown and full of childhood memories it is pretty much screwed. Drugs everywhere abandoned house EVERYWHERE crime EVERYWHERE

[@lou_sassole]

You may wanna rethink this daryl

[@realfunny7]

i'm 70 lived there my whole life - what a sad ride down Broadway - take a ride now - it is plain stupid - new places are opening up to eat & drink but the Mayor has called the Highway Patrol to patrol the streets - so who wants to come here then try to get out - all the bars & clubs are pissed over this
