Oh look. Good things are happening DOWNTOWN and no old people and naysayers are any were to be seen.

Looks like those who fear the past will live there and come here posting all their negative comments about their dispairing points of view of a town that their sons and daughters or grand children are ressurecting benieth their feet.

There's no more steel here, but there is art.

I say, when you here of someone making an effort to do something in the town, applaud it and cheer for the good. Perhaps that's all this city needs to really turn the tide.

It's a much more constructive idea to be proud of this town for the good it is and it has.

The kids here are only a symbol of the possibility of positive change, but that can be squandered and quelled by oppessive attitudes that do little to encourage.

There will always be crime, but if there is something to do in this town, perhaps you might see a shift and Youngstown will fall from the top 10 most dangerous cities. We all know it's bad in some places. So what is stating and restating it going to do to change it? Join in and do something about it and change it. Complaining does nothing.

See you downtown. (It's likely I won't).

I attended the great Stage Fright at the Oakland. I didn't attend the Penguin Review event, although I wanted to. The reason I didn't attend was because I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. It makes me sick. I strongly encourage peopel to vote No on 4 and YES on 5. A smoke free Ohio will be great for the live entertainment business. If you don't believe me, go visit NYC or Boulder Colorado, two smoke free cities with thriving live arts and entertainment.

I agree. I dread smelling like an ash tray after events. The Stage Fright thing was a very good night...
