Im from Youngstown and it certainley isnt what it used to be but I wouldnt have wanted to grow up anywhere else! Iron Ore runs thru my veins and the dirt is in my soul...God Bless Youngstown..
I'm an Erie, Pa native with family ties to Youngstown. Even though it's been beaten, battered, and going down for the count, Youngstown has a ton of promise. I would love to see it come back someday. I guess you either have to be from there, or in my case, spend significant time there to truly appreciate what a great city it can be. Aside from my hometown of Erie, the YO is my second-favorite small city.
I remember back in 1991 when I was in Pittsburgh for the summer (I'm from Philly) I met some girl from Youngstown at some popular Roller Skating rink out there. It looked a lot nicer back then. The crack era really destroyed every low end neighborhood across the US.
I currently live in this area. The hoods of the greater Youngstown area are a sad state compared to it’s heyday. However the downtown area is in a resurgence with entertainment and restaurants. The suburbs such as Boardman, Poland and Austintown are very nice places to live and are booming. Columbiana, very near here, was just rated as one of to nicest places to live in America (or something to that affect). There may not be the steel mills of the day, but many many smaller manufacturing businesses that are having trouble finding good employees. Not nearly as doomed as it is usually portrayed to be.
That is the problem Youngstown is boring as fuck. You mentioned downtown. The only thing that is even good there is getting drunk, and eating. You can get drunk, and eat anywhere. The town is boring as fuck, and ghetto.
I moved away in 2016, spent 26 years if my life in and around Youngstown. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Every time someone calls an area down here a "bad area" I have to laugh like y'all don't know what bad is 🤣 #TheDirty3Thirty
It's been 18 years since I moved from Youngstown. I grew up in Mesopotamia Ohio and moved there for college in 87. It was still decent, lots of fun and things to do. I left in 92, but returned in 99 so I could have family support raising my daughter. The crime is bad, neighborhoods are run down,, but I still consider Youngstown my home. I still have family and friends there and visit each time I'm in Ohio.
likeliterally Big cities are depressing with the crime, corruption, crammed, dirty, shootings heard, bullet proof glass, robberies, drug dealers, car jacking, more b and e's, empty rotting or burnt up buildings, gangs and feel like you have to carry everywhere. Poor in a semi or rural area is better poor in a city. Beware the deer and groundhogs. Keep pets and small livestock protected and coyotes aren't a problem. Well, a few rattlers but common sense and awareness is needed. Bear are in more real rural areas.
Foreign steel shut Youngstown down, so called, "free trade." Free for the other country at least, free access into our markets. They pleaded with Jimmy Carter to cut the foreign steel so they could keep their jobs and nope, he could care less, same as every other democrat I've ever known when it came to working class jobs.
@@Golfing422 Jimmy Carter cared but a President needed both houses of Congress to care also. Additionally, Germany and Japan were making equal or better steel for less money. Do you think the Big 4 U.S. automakers were more loyal to higher priced American steel or to lower cost, same or better quality foreign steel? It's like the quote from "The Godfather". "Nothing personal, it's's only business."
@@punothebear Yep, when retirements don’t have to be paid, Steel can be made cheaper. Maybe we could outsource everybody because everything can be done cheaper by someone from abroad. Sheesh!
@@Golfing422 Good idea. We could outsource our politicians to Tierra del Fuego, our death row inmates to Saudia Arabia and greedy corporate leaders to the North Pole in the middle of summer when the ice is melted.
Simplicity thats where im from its not horrid unless maybe you go toward the 8, the deep west n southwest is the worst north n east side aint shit i know this cuz i stay in the North by harding.
When a city loses 2/3 or more of its peak population (which also includes Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, etc), it's impossible to simply adapt with no repercussions. However, looking at what's happening out west and even in the south in some areas, I see a day when these cities will come back in a big way. There's just too much going for the area in general with climate, the Great Lakes, lower cost of living (for now), and other factors. It may not be in my lifetime but I guarantee by the 2nd half of the 21st century one or more of these post-industrial cities will be booming.
Agree. The conditions in the West, in hurricane zones, tornado areas are not going to diminish. The cost of living along the Great Lakes is affordable and we have lots of fresh water. Soon they are going to look like a paradise with greenery and breathable air . I won't be around to see it, but I do believe it will happen.
much love THOM born on Chambers St. Campbell Company Houses/Projects used to be on Ayers all the time wit the Ayers St Playaz my pops lived on Forest View by the Brooks i got love for my Eastside Hustlaz and all of Youngstown
Born and raised near Royal Oaks. Went to Immaculate, Ursuline then YSU. My parents are still there. The white and red house when you go by the freeway 💕💕💕
My ex lived in Youngstown briefly, before moving back to NYC. He hated living there , he said it was depressing & boring. From the look of it i believe him. He said for a small city the crime was unbelievable. Thanks Charlie & Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!
Tatiana Drayton Bitch shut up, no Youngstown wins no prize in the contest of most photogenic city. But to me its home, you've never been here so shut the fuck up about someplace you have no connection to and don't have a clue about.
I grew up near Ytown and it's really sad how bad it's become in the last 15 years ---- nothing but meth junkies in that city these days --- so much murder and rape and gang activity --- it'd would be cool if the whole city burned down
I live in Canton, Ohio. Same story here. Unfortunately, when the population was growing fast and they didn't have many cars or the freeway, they literally threw these houses up as close together as they could. Quality was not important and there weren't strong building codes. Solid brick homes cost more, but they can't easily be insulated. My wood framed house in downtown Canton was built in 1911. I gutted it and rebuilt it better than it was ever imagined. Paid 22K for it....just appraised at 152K in a still undesirable part of Canton. The original framers did everything wrong and the framing material, mostly longleaf pine, was very inconsistent in quality and size. Makes it a nightmare to place drywall and new flooring down. You have to even everything out first. To reclaim the ghetto, you have to be willing to do a whole lot of work for free. Most people living there....will not or cannot.
Damn those houses are huge. Y'all must have been living the high life before the steel industry tanked. In my area, houses that size would sell for close to a million dollars. But our housing prices are stupid-high.
Some of those house u can buy for 6,000$ in foreclosure , I’ve seen at least 20 listings on the north side for that price I wouldn’t want to move back to Youngstown though
Youngstown does have some cheap rent for nice sized houses. When I was in Jersey I paid 1850.00 for a sardine can apartment in Youngstown i could have gotten a few houses to rent for that.
I was born and raised in Salem, about 25ish miles from Youngstown, and loved going there. I thought it was a cool city. Loved going to the Butler Museum and wanted to study at YSU for a couple years too. Life took me on a different ride (I left the US in 2002 and currently living in Argentina), but I'll always look back at Youngstown fondly, despite how "run down" it's become.
Ive lived in numerous places you've visit and being that DC is where I was raised, Youngstown is my second and I hold dearly to my heart. #ProudYSUAlum
The most depressing thing about Youngstown isn't the foreclosed neighborhoods or the crumbling streets it's the fact that in less then 4 decades it's gone from a population of around 200,000 to a mere 20,000 people
Todd Howard Actually it has a population of around 60,000 but still it's a major loss for the city. My town of Clowne, Kansas used to have a population of 80,000 but post WW2 the population kept dropping and now it only has 3,000 people
Kelso lowk actually your wrong California is losing people faster then any other state that's mainly to them making a law preventing the conviction of those who knowing spread aids and the absurdly high taxes
Todd Howard I lived in LA for 4 years and it's shitty. Sure, the weather's nice and celebrities live within 30 miles of my house, but the taxes are high, gas prices are high, the gun laws are shit, and crime is rampant in some neighborhoods like the South side, and the threat of the upcoming big earthquake within the next couple years is scaring people away. Not to mention you can apparently get arrested for misgendering someone now. Never going back.
My street used to be brick But for some reason Youngstown replaced it wit Asphalt & pot holes I got some videos Of driving around in Youngstown I lived on everyside of Town. Everyone of my houses I lived in has all been Knoecked Down..... BackyardSKY 🌐 is still Standing
I heard at one point this city used to have a real popular amusement park called Idora Park but it closed a long time ago. its kind of hard to believe this one once a thriving city with even a great amusement park!
Jeff Fabian Campbell is a real mess now! I live in Boardman. It’s nice where I live, but there are places 15 minutes from us that are really unsavory. It’s sad.
Hey whats with all the negativity you just showing us the bad part of Youngstown is a huge city not a small town thats just the east side of town and not the whole things lots of things are poping up and most those houses are getting or have been torn down and bussiness are coming back.show downtown and how thriving it is and show the north part of the campus area very beautiful historic homes there. The 2 worst parts are the east and south sides of town...which in my opion the southside is way worse lol. the west side has many things flower garden and millcreek park which is a huge park the runs threw a good part of the county. theres old water mills and beauful parts that you dont see running down the side streets!
You should visit Point Pleasant, Ohio next. The town has never been the same ever since Ulysses S. Grant died and he was buried in a tomb in Upper Manhattan instead of his birth city
Robert Preskop yeah..no not really only bits and parts maybe when you go to the 8 or the deep west amd south west but the north and east side is cool i know this bc i stay on the north by harding.
Yes it used to be a beautiful city once upon a time. I'm born and raised in that city until i moved in 2000. Learned how to survive in that jungle salute to Tha YO.....💪💪💪💪
went through a few of these when I lived in hubbard with my sister and brother in law in 2018. I was going through a divorce and it sort of symbolized my life at the time. glad I left.
I just commented on your New Mexico video asking to do one on Youngstown and I found it! My dad grew up on the East side on Garland. I was born and raised on the South Side. If you come back here, please scope out the south !
I just shouldn't have looked at this one....😞😞😞 We lived in Chagrin Falls but we would go to Youngstown on the weekends for different reasons. This place compared to Chagrin Falls has become ghastly and ghostly. Oh well....dilapidated memories. 😞😞😞 I remember the brick road.
@@KentuckyBlue502 That's the C-O. In the Double O (Ohio) I represent the CO (Colombus). Been to Colombus, never seen Bow Wow - Cam'ron - What's Really Good
I used to live on the corner of East High and Truesdale. Sad to see how bad the city has went downhill. I predict these neighborhoods will be totally abandoned years from now. No jobs, drug addiction and crime is destroying Youngstown........
My hometown .. don't live there now but most of fam still does ... father is buried in Calvary Cemetery .. I go see him when I can but always bring along my AK ;) No matter I will love it and miss it forever .. it will ALWAYS be home !!! #330Forever :D
The sad truth: of cities that size, only Flint and East St. Louis are worse places than Youngstown. The silver lining: of those three cities, Youngstown is by far in the best position to turn things around and try to make a comeback. The other two cities are too far gone. Youngstown is not. There are still many strengths to build on for the city to reinvent itself.
I AM YOUNGSTOWN AND I AM HERE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE MANY FACES TO THE CITY WHEN SHOWN FROM ONE PRESPECTIVE YOU TEND TO BELIEVE IT . WE ARE YOUNGSTOWN IS A SHORT FILM WHICH CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON CZcams
Damn that first street you were on just looks like a nice city neighborhood. It doesn't look too bad there. I know there are some really rough parts up there though. Were you in the area that maurice clarett grew up in??

Everywhere the trees are cuting for câbles... in every of yours great vidéos... that is so strange!
My Mom was raised on Donation St. She left town when she graduated high school, East High. Her sisters told at that time to get out of Yo. That was in the mid 1940s. We would visit my grandparents, aunts uncles, cousins at least once or twice a year. I ALWAYS loved those visits. The smell of air from the mills, the steep hills and the streets paved with brick, My grandparent huge front porch with the glider on it are memories the will never leave me….
Jason Young it is!!! I was born there and grew up 15 minutes away, went to college there, while family still there. haven’t been that direction in going on 4 years. But that’s just the abandoned homes being shown . It’s not anywhere near as bad as Gary Indiana. Still depressing to Go back tho.
Only going thru a transition and a few growing pains.i moved 30 years ago but year in and our those people keep on going im amazed they take it in stride,
The mills were gone well before NAFTA...the mills shut down in the mid to late 70's. NAFTA killed yhe GM plant in Lordstown. Im from Youngstown...Iron Ore runs through my veins and Youngstown dirt is in my soul...
Im from Youngstown and it certainley isnt what it used to be but I wouldnt have wanted to grow up anywhere else! Iron Ore runs thru my veins and the dirt is in my soul...God Bless Youngstown..

Youngstown, part of the Rust Belt that was once the mighty Industrial Belt.
I left Youngstown over 22 years ago. Your video made me homesick. But it reminded me of why I left.
Just a sad looking neighbourhood.
TOTransitGuy7755 ik I live near there
I bet back in the 70s it was probably decent...this is what happens when powerhouse manufacturer’s leave for China.

I live in Canton, Ohio. Same story here. Unfortunately, when the population was growing fast and they didn't have many cars or the freeway, they literally threw these houses up as close together as they could. Quality was not important and there weren't strong building codes. Solid brick homes cost more, but they can't easily be insulated. My wood framed house in downtown Canton was built in 1911. I gutted it and rebuilt it better than it was ever imagined. Paid 22K for it....just appraised at 152K in a still undesirable part of Canton. The original framers did everything wrong and the framing material, mostly longleaf pine, was very inconsistent in quality and size. Makes it a nightmare to place drywall and new flooring down. You have to even everything out first. To reclaim the ghetto, you have to be willing to do a whole lot of work for free. Most people living there....will not or cannot.
also got to have the will not to burn down some one house that just got fix up and keep crime low
Damn those houses are huge. Y'all must have been living the high life before the steel industry tanked. In my area, houses that size would sell for close to a million dollars. But our housing prices are stupid-high.

Go to Warren Ohio next, it is another depressed steel town with urban decay and rough hoods.

Yeah you're telling me. I live by the state streets
, thankyou so much for vid!
Neighborhoods don't look that bad, seen worse. It's the shuttered businesses that concerns me.
That's what I thought, It looks okay. I have seen Much worse in Houston,TX- Columbia,SC - Trenton,NJ. This place looks tons better.
It's hard to tell what goes on nowadays in Youngstown and Akron.
Reminds me of Detroit. Rust belt cities have suffered so much.
detroit did it to then self's
Yes it used to be a beautiful city once upon a time. I'm born and raised in that city until i moved in 2000. Learned how to survive in that jungle salute to Tha YO.....💪💪💪💪
Looks worse than Ravenna
Parts of it are, some parts nicer too

CharlieBo313 doing some nice videos sir. Thank you for the insight.
Oh my! How times have changed in 10yrs since moving from west side.
It’s so sad. Took my bro.
Thanks for letting me
See it through your eyes
I just shouldn't have looked at this one....😞😞😞 We lived in Chagrin Falls but we would go to Youngstown on the weekends for different reasons. This place compared to Chagrin Falls has become ghastly and ghostly. Oh well....dilapidated memories. 😞😞😞 I remember the brick road.
Chagrin Falls is still beautiful till this day the small towns the area has are the cutest ever

Damn no one fuck with Toledo
Can't forget Columbus
@@KentuckyBlue502 That's the C-O. In the Double O (Ohio) I represent the CO (Colombus). Been to Colombus, never seen Bow Wow - Cam'ron - What's Really Good
I used to live on the corner of East High and Truesdale. Sad to see how bad the city has went downhill. I predict these neighborhoods will be totally abandoned years from now. No jobs, drug addiction and crime is destroying Youngstown........
you didnt help very much, people should stay and help fix the problems
@@raulvalentin8757 got to have jobs
oh fuck man.. my grandma’s house made it into the video on the brick road. 😭😭
My hometown .. don't live there now but most of fam still does ... father is buried in Calvary Cemetery .. I go see him when I can but always bring along my AK ;) No matter I will love it and miss it forever .. it will ALWAYS be home !!! #330Forever :D
I work on that side of town it's sad. I'm old enough to remember when it was alot better.
The sad truth: of cities that size, only Flint and East St. Louis are worse places than Youngstown.
The silver lining: of those three cities, Youngstown is by far in the best position to turn things around and try to make a comeback. The other two cities are too far gone. Youngstown is not. There are still many strengths to build on for the city to reinvent itself.
You should visit the run down hoods in DC after midnight... very interesting place..
KingofdaDistrict21 Where?? Cant't be many because DC is small.
rick santana wtf? Now this was a lame comment
i live in youngstown (liberty) and it’s not as bad as they make it seem. YSU BABYYY
Let’s go penguins 🐧
Liberty isn’t youngstown
It blows my mind that I rented a tux from that Mater's tuxedo place for prom like a hundred years ago..
Me too, in 1993.
I AM YOUNGSTOWN AND I AM HERE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE MANY FACES TO THE CITY WHEN SHOWN FROM ONE PRESPECTIVE YOU TEND TO BELIEVE IT . WE ARE YOUNGSTOWN IS A SHORT FILM WHICH CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON CZcams
The average rent is $610, it's doesn't seem that bad for the price.
just make sure you have a lot of guns
They need to fix our dam streets.
Go to warren it’s been getting worse over the years
It's obviously filmed on the east side of town not the other three better sides of Youngstown one sided perspective
This looks unsafe as hell 😳 the crime ruined this city
Kimmel Brooks,the Victorys,plazaview and the sharonline
i know two females from youngstown that moved away to tallahassee in 2005 or 06 if i'm correct, and still reside here now in 2018!
El presadors hood
6:07 Looks like somebody stole some aluminum siding and sheathing off of that house!
Edward Miessner probably 😂
stupid advertisement across the screen with no way to click it off!
Lovely neighborhood, nice houses. I wish you, Charlie, a very Happy Thanksgiving day. Thanks for your amazing videos :)
Charlieboi watching your vids in Akron The OH10
I live in Youngstown’s and it’s fucking terrible. Can’t wait to leave when I’m older.
Youngstown look like a ghost town where everyone at no traffic r nothing
where in Ohio is this? what part?
Northeast Ohio.
with some renewal these old homes would look great!
Ohio one of the last states with brick paved roads
in Chicago this old neighborhood Beverly has parts that are brick streets.
ohio the first paved road was in bellefontaine ohio
what a waste of bricks
We have a few brick streets here in Buffalo.
Some here in Spokane WA
Damn that first street you were on just looks like a nice city neighborhood. It doesn't look too bad there. I know there are some really rough parts up there though. Were you in the area that maurice clarett grew up in??
Everywhere the trees are cuting for câbles... in every of yours great vidéos... that is so strange!
My Mom was raised on Donation St. She left town when she graduated high school, East High. Her sisters told at that time to get out of Yo. That was in the mid 1940s. We would visit my grandparents, aunts uncles, cousins at least once or twice a year. I ALWAYS loved those visits. The smell of air from the mills, the steep hills and the streets paved with brick, My grandparent huge front porch with the glider on it are memories the will never leave me….
This place looks depressing
Jason Young it is!!! I was born there and grew up 15 minutes away, went to college there, while family still there. haven’t been that direction in going on 4 years. But that’s just the abandoned homes being shown . It’s not anywhere near as bad as Gary Indiana. Still depressing to
Go back tho.
Jason Young I live near there it is not that bad
Those houses are very old, I saw my friends house on this video it used to be a school house
Its not that bad. I went to YSU there and I fell in love with thr city and the people. Its cleaned up alot but it still has its rough areas
Jason Young ? ! ! ! Paul Young lil' brother? ? ?
I was wondering if you ever came through my town. It use to be really nice in that neighborhood when I was coming up.
Only going thru a transition and a few growing pains.i moved 30 years ago but year in and our those people keep on going im amazed they take it in stride,
The mills were booming at that time but when NAFTA came to fruition everything changed. This was a mob town at one point
The mills were in sharp decline before NAFTA, Republic Steel and Youngstown Sheet & Tube were totally gone by 1984.
The mills were gone well before NAFTA...the mills shut down in the mid to late 70's. NAFTA killed yhe GM plant in Lordstown. Im from Youngstown...Iron Ore runs through my veins and Youngstown dirt is in my soul...
@@scottkidd6662 I worked at Lordstown until 2017. There is truly nothing left now.
I was living in Youngstown in 1977 when Youngstown Sheet & Tube closed. That was 17 years before NAFTA went into effect on January 1, 1994.
First job out of high school was delivering pizzas in some of these areas. Biggest fear was getting bit by one of the many huge dogs
do this again in the summer
Why so we can see 4 more people
