Youngstown

[Hagen823]

It wasn't unions which caused the demise of American steelmaking. It was the American nearsightedness, protectionism, refusal to innovate, to specialize and conservativity which caused it. Europeans and Japanese were in the business to make steel, Americans were in business to make money. In the long run it was more profitable to make steel than money.

makes me cry when I watch this

[Baelmyrrdn]

My g-g-grandfather was the Supervisor of one of the Mills, and McDonald Village is named for him. I wish I had known the city he knew, but I do know he loved Youngstown, and the men who worked for him...and by all reports, they loved him in return.

I <3 My Youngstown

[firefghtr0103]

Born and raised on the west side of the Y-O.

[mcclellan2005]

I live in Youngstown now, you don't have to be afraid of getting shot or robbed here, i actually like it here.

[Dracostra]

I was born and raised in Warren, Ohio. Now I spend 3-5 days a week in Youngstown, and it makes me sad every time I drive past the abandoned mills and all the boarded up houses. It's hard to believe that you could once walk through Youngstown without being afraid you'd get shot or robbed.

[Baelmyrrdn]

My 2-great grandfather was Thomas G. McDonald (for whom McDonald Village was named). My g-grandfather also worked the mills, as did my grandfather. I think of them when I hear this song.

My Home town I lived a good life there when I was a child My dad was a steel worker I remember the sky seemed liked it was on fire when they poured the steel. Could of been my life story. Left for good after I graduated YSU. Still go back sometimes this song is so true it breaks my heart !!!

[TriumphT140]

My family grew up there too, my uncle still lives there. My old man worked at Republic Steel and was on the Fire Department later for several years. Both parents and most aunts and uncles went to YSU, grandpa taught there and was a Unitarian Minister. Actually going back to visit next week. Beautiful song, always makes me cry. The pictures were perfect man.

@TriumphT140 Im a Steelworker in Youngstown. Alot of pride & tradition to be proud of. Alot of empty run down space to be ashamed of at the same time

This song makes my eyes water. Makes me think of my grandpa. Great video, great song.
