BTW-Yes, The courthouse area is nice, & The Hot Dog Shoppe Rocks, but I have been there at least once every year or so since leaving in '99, and it looks worse and sadder every time.
I was born & raised in Warren.Lived on Burton st, then Scott st. off of Elm rd. Dated a guy I ended up marrying from Westlawn. I went to Mckinley elementary which is a lot now.Turner which was a horrible school.Western Reserve, also terrible.Harding was a decent school. I know it's rebuilt & new.I left & went to what was the TCJVS at the time. I moved at 18 to the east coast, Every time I go back to Warren to visit, it's just sad & depressing. It is run down, boarded up,& just plain desolate.
I was one of the many unlucky kids raised in the Westlawn project. It was a normal day to see child abuse, animal abuse, arson, drug dealers and even shootings. I wonder how everyone else is. It was a terrible place but we didn't know any better. I always felt bad for the kids and the many dogs left to wander the streets. Glad its gone.
@sonick712 I haven't heard from or about anybody else who was in Wasteland when I was, but I guess I'm okay. Back in Warren, as I said months ago, but closer to Hooker Row and Meth Central, rather than Crack Alley.
I used to live a couple doors down from the older guy who had the garden in front of his apartment. Depending on when you were in Wasteland, you may have seen a gold and black Olds 442 in front of my old place there.
@xXFaTaLxGLoXx Yes it is! I was there this past summer for my pops funeral in Y-Town. I was born and raised in Warren. It's depressing now and dead. Kinda miss it still the same sometimes
Of course the pictures shown are of old run down places in the area. Some places are nice, like downtown, others not so much. But I was born and raised her (granted i was born in '98) but it's a nice place to live.
@bigsteve532 WHITE POWER... GRANDMA JUST ROBBED BY NIGGERS, AUNTS CAR BOMBED BY NIGGERS, DAD KILLED BY NIGGERS, DADS PARENTS KILLED BY NIGGERS, ECT. ALL AND MORE IN WARREN. NIGGERS EVEN POISING WHITE CHILDREN MINDS. YOU WOULD BE A HERO IF YOU DID THAT. STAY WHITE. !-)
@bigsteve532 warren is a fucking shithole with murder,pollution,and drugs, and hookers, and nigers,the list goes on. This video make warren look like a fucking heven. People would kill thereselfs for warren to look that good. I dont like this video because this is not warren. these are pics of youngstown ohio. PS. IF YOU DONT HAVE AN AK-47 AND YOUR IN THIS CITY. GET THE FUCK OUT ASAP
To everyone who says warrens not that bad: i grew up in warren. graduated 06. i know what warren is. I saw more fights in warren city schools where kids got broken noses, and girls got their weave ripped out than i care to see ever again. I moved when i was 16, and made the mistake of getting an apartment in warren when i was 19. In one year the stair railing got ripped off the wall from people fighting, a girl got her arm broken for a gang initiation, and the people upstairs sold meth.
This was in jamestown village, which compared to the hamps is calm. That city went to hell a long time ago, yes..there are some nicer areas, but if you dont know the underbelly than trying to understand why some people have such a problem with it can be hard.
They're are definitely nicer parts of Warren. Warren has a lot of problems--the gov't for one--but what town doesn't have its issues. I was born & raised in that place. I still miss it. @blabblab1212--yeah, they did run Veronica out, didn't they? She made some of the best hot dogs! She, her husband, and daughter were a staple there for a long time.
Owned a bunch of houses I rented until 04. I filed bankruptcy and got out. Now I rent an $800,000 beach house on the sand in N.San Diego for 1,800/mo. My wife went from making 24/hr as RN to over 41/hr with 3x paid pension,and ridiculous bennies like 6 weeks vacation, St. law only 5 patients/RN,3 -12hr shifts =full time(she works 3days/week for over 80g/year. Now I'm gazing out over the Pacific enjoying some of Cali's medical incredible looking at warren Vids on youtube laughing my ass off
Nice job with some good shots. The song was written in 1949 & refers to Salford, near Manchester, England, and the place where Ewan MacColl, who wrote it, was brought up. The local council were unhappy at having Salford called a dirty old town and the words of the song were changed from "smelled a Spring on the Salford wind" to "smelled a spring on the smoky wind". Thought you may be interested. Salford used to be dirty, but has been developed to become a now much sought after area.
I grew up here & am now going to college at YSU. I can't wait to get out. Not because I hate it here so much, but because there just isn't much here for a younger, 20-something like me. I can understand why older people like my grandparents have a soft spot for Warren/Youngstown, and both are in fact "dirty old towns". They are rusty and charming and gritty & industrial. The hot dog shoppe rocks, the library is neat, & the courthouse is cool, but thats about all we really have here.
Well done video Albydarned. Sure there are nicer parts of Warren to photograph, but I think that you captured the attitude that has gripped most Warrenites that I speak with when I visit my old home town. I'm a bit confused by another viewer's comment on "corrupt conservatives" in Warren government causing Warren's plight...Warren hasn't had a Republican or conservative government for many, many generations. Thank you for such an emotion provoking video.
Poor attitude! I don't think so. More like realistic. Unless your talking about a major restructuring of government, things are not going to change in Warren. I agree Warren has tons of good people but you can't do anything to benefit those people when the government is rigidly controlled and resists change. Hell, they ran a female hot dog vendor out of business for Christsakes!! Get real!
In 50 years what will be your legacy? I ran away from challenges cause i am scared? What will you tell your kids or grandkids? When the going gets tough the tough run and hide?
The problem with Warren is that any jobs that are worth a shit are sewed up by nepotism. The town is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Crooked conservatives. Where are all the crooked fucks going to get money when the town finally folds?
Your right we have problems and yes I travel all over the country and Europe too. I am not sheltered. I know that your attitude sucks and if we all try a little harder we can all make a difference. I have faith in our community we still have tons of good people left in this town. With the age of the internet our cost of living here is dirt cheap. We need to fill these empty factories. I am not a union guy just an entrepenuer and I know what i'm talking about. We can turn it around.
If you don't want to help and have and no respect for your roots, then go run far far away, we don't need you here. Don't let the door hit you in the ass! The called "realistic" point of view is we can make a difference even though our politicians have failed us. There are many citizens groups that have formed that are still making a difference. Many voices are better than one.
Warren, Ohio. Proud to feature the nation's finest highway system with roads as smooth as glass. The city has the honor of having a progressive, caring government and the roads prove that. The reason for that is that the thoughtful, caring government folks work in the city but live in Howland and Cortland, so you know their heart is in maintaining the city.
Yes its so much fun driving through Warren dodging the craters in the streets.A war zone has better roads.Then there is the feeling of security one gets from all the thugs and gangstas.Citygovernment???Deadwood was more honest than that rotten bunch of crooks....I will say that the pizza places there are really good....
So, just take photos of the courthouse square, then? That's all the city cares about.
Ask the business owners on the square. Every time the city throws an Italian festival, they block off all of the parking spaces for every shop around the square. That's REALLY good for local business! Yes, everyone comes downtown, BUT NOBODY ACTUALLY SHOPS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PARK IN TOW-AWAY ZONES.
it WAS a beautiful place a long time ago, but somehow it went to shit in just a couple of years. i stopped going back to visit a while ago, couldnt stand the thought of stuff like this replacing the good ol' memories... *sniff sniff :'(
I grew up in Sharon, PA. Thinking of moving back. Warren, OH was so cheap I could not believe it. Could it be that bad that I wouldn't want to do it? Advice from anyone with experience there would be appreciated.
After they tore down most of Warren G Harding, when everybody who had ever attended the school begged for at least the front of the building to be saved from demolition. In vain. Now there's a shitty brick pile of cubes behind the gutted facade, like a hollowed-out skull of a once great local structure. Never mind all of the other schools that are being demolished.
Got smart and left? What you see is what you get when people have no sense of ownership in their community. It is the result of inaction and abandonment by many of the "natives" which has resulted in what is shown here. The mindset is so disturbed that posters from Howland feel it's more important to have street cred than to be proud of living in a functioning community.
Howland is just people thinking they're not worthless because they're nailed to Niles, which used to be a Sundown Town. Yeah, real glorious past there.
The whole area is dead. Warren has like what, five cops now, if that, and every business a mile from the courthouse gets robbed on a weekly basis. People from goddamn Youngstown come through to pick the carcass clean. And I use the term "people" so loosely that you could drive a truck through it. And hit a pothole deep enough to break an axle.
I was born here, and I live here now. Right in Meth Central, a mile from Hooker Highway. More power to you for actually staying in business, but you haven't been robbed at gunpoint enough times to see what Warren is really like. Ask why the Chicken Coop moved to Cortland. How many times have the Dollar Stores on the west side been robbed since September?
My first night back in Warren after years away was celebrated with a gunfight six houses away that led to a child being shot in the head.
if you all the shitty parts of any town its going to look like crap. The people that made this video are assholes!!! Show the amphitheater, courhouse,The parks,Packard museum, the thriving restaurants in the area. I love Warren born and raised here and I am making a difference, unlike the sellouts that moved away and criticize. Warren is still a great place to live with great people left here!!!
the song is about Salford and Manchester citys and docks in England.they were the worlds 1st industrial citys,they were once dirty but no longer,both great citys in their own rights
I was born in Warren Ohio in 1984, and lived on McMyler Street. I remember being a kid and it was not a good city then, and is doesnt seem to be doing any better. As a kid I can recall a lot of drug problems in the area, and the house we lived in got broken into two times, and my mom shot as one of the perps. Luckily for my family we moved to Michigan, and we havent looked back since. The only thing that ever left with me from the that town was WWR and Ohio State football. Go BUCKS!!
Though most of us didn't choose to live here, you shouldn't forget where you came from, especially if you still live there. like one said warren was booming with the steele mills, dont forget when everyone wasn't doing nothing at packard. Warren did go down in value a lot but i got a great education from warren city schools and tctc. i wont forget that, even when i move to bigger and better things. If you want it better you got to make it!!!
Yep - make it better, if you can get past the small-minded, greedy nepostism of the "powers that be" running Warren, Ohio (i.e., the people who are spending money putting in brick crosswalks because they look nice, while closing fire departments and letting tax-paying residents suffer for lack of security and safety personnel).
Bluetobelushi....you suck!!! We don't need you scared boy.....stay away and go hide behind your computer. I love Warren and I won't sell out my roots....You my friend are a SELLOUT!!!!!!!!!
chill out tenderfoot.i actually like the old town.but only a loon would try to affirm that warren is not in bad shape.are you one of them there union nuts who blames the japs,the hun and everybody else for the exodus of industry and even the fall of the gm plants??? why not consider the %%% of college grads who leave warren after getting their degrees.its so bad there they are off the charts in rankings of the worst cities in the usa.wake up.
this city is a joke i deliver pizza for CAESARS 330-898-1555 people ask if im afraid i tell them of what ? shit talking punks and crackheads! the only scary thing is dogs and i got mace for them (yes ive sprayed many, makes the toughest pitbull a whiny bitch. leash law for people complaining) fuck this city glad i leave it when work ends. football team even sucks now.
Warren has changed a lot over the past few years, I grew up in Champion and Warren, til I was 18, and maybe it's b/c I moved, but I wanted to move back until I visited it last year. I'm NOT trying to knock the town, It's just hard to see my hometown look that way.
this is to all the ASSHOLES out there putting down warren and everyone in warren!!! Most of warren may be run down, but if you want proof that Warren isnt dead, look up the warren g harding raider marching band!!!
Guess people don't remember when Warren , Niles area was booming with business in the steel industry. Republic Steel , Copper Weld etc.....those were the good old days until we sold out and started buying steel from china...most of you to young to remember that.
I got to page 11 of the comments before I couldn't take the rips on Howland anymore! Not all of Howland is rich folks wearing diamonds and fur. It was right near Candlelight Apts that a guy I graduated with murdered a hooker and left her for dead in the gutter off North Rd. Not all Howland graduates have pedigrees, some of us struggled to make ends meet too.
Some parts in Warren are run down, I will agree with you there. -But its not all of it. Over by the library, the womens park, the upton house -its beautiful. The gardens. Im getting married in the garden at the upton house, so pretty in the summer. I grew up in warren, moved out to cortland & now im moving back. i love the historic homes around here. have you ever seen the inside of them? gorgeous home. warren's very interesting. listen to the stories. look the historic homes. open up your eyes
I agree. With the crime, bars, and churches, you'll be able to rob a bar, and then immediately ask your savior for forgiveness on the very same corner! :O Who woulda thunk it? Warren is dead in a sense. Nothing good comes from it anymore. But congratulations on getting married :D
Yep. Millionaire's Row is beautiful. All one block of it. I know, I work in a century-home-turned-office there, only a few buildings from the Upton House. My office windows look out on the Women's Park. And that tiny area is beautiful, so the mayor has a scenic place to work. But anyone who thinks that makes up for the rest of the slums is living with blinders on, which is why Warren can call itself the "Festival City" while homeless starve and freeze under the Market Street Bridge.
@AlmostWhitlow29 I was born in Warren Ohio in 1959; when was these pics taken anyways?? I have to replay this video.. It's very pretty up there; & my brother & sister was also born up there in Warren, Ohio... Loved it up there then; but I am in Cambridge, Ohio today.. I was born there; but in 1963-64; we moved dwn here in Guernsey County area & lived in this county eversince... We go there from time to time; to see the areas up there though.. I want to go back..
OMG, Warren is a mess. but don't give up hope y'all, it'll be cleaned up before you know it. until then, if you hear about an effort to clean up your city....take part in the solution or else you're part of the problem.
grew up in warren, my father was the capt of the warren city firedepartment. i remember as a kid, my father saying ( the unions are going to kill this city ).. well, i wonder.. in 1990, the day after i graduated from highschool, i drove to the town square and walked into the recruiter office that was there. 3 weeks later i was in the army, i have never went back to warren, except to visit my family. i have lived in germany since i left, and im happy of that.
why are u goin to only show the bad factory area of warren + u made this video in 2006 sences then we have cleaned up we now have all brand new schools, a amplatheater, what do u have against warren to make us look so bad to the rest of the world
In two years Warren has not been "cleaned up." "All" of the schools have not been replaced (by the way, where did you graduate?) The amphitheater is nice, but where is it? Right off courthouse square - where everything is nice, like a little Pleasantville bubble. What do I have against Warren? Nothing personal - I was just showing what IS there. Just because you'd prefer not to look at it doesn't mean it isn't real.
So I looked at your page to see what type of videos you produced and what type of statements you've made and...wait...YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!!! Why don't you make us a positive video about Warren? 'Cmon, show us your stuff!!! Lets hear about that Courthouse and Amphitheater one more time!
JFK Warren Catholic High School, Ohio is coming to Wheeling, West Virginia next Friday to play Wheeling Central Catholic High School in a football game so I decided to find out where Warren, Ohio was and find a little out about it. We have plenty of steel mills here in the Ohio Valley (or used to) also so I can get a "feeling" for Warren.
I now live in chicago but I used to live by the mahoning river down the street from Turner highschool. I remember when I was younger they took down them smoke stacks at that power factory at the dam, did you happen to see it? It was pretty fun, kinda like a minature 9-11 but not as sad. I miss this town in a weird way and btw kfwahoo the place ur talking about in the howland/courtland area is where all the rich people live and its still shit, dont mean to talk crap about my hometown, but its tru
Actually, those are some of the worst parts of town. I live in NE Warren and grew up in Cortland. The NE side is still very nice. I recognize most of those areas, the one factory is the closed Packard Plant on Dana St. (practically in Howland Twp.), the electrical place is on Niles Rd. (not the nicest of areas), and the area around WCI steel isn't that great either. Warren might not be as nice as when some of you lived here, but it's still home for me and thousands of others and i like it.
Unfortunately, we didn't film the worst areas of town. Many of the scenes in this video are within a few miles of downtown. What is hard to capture here is the defeatist, losing, "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" attitude of those unfortunate souls stuck in this purgatory-like "Prelude to Hell" known as Warren, Ohio. Look, a signpost up ahead. You've just entered...Trumbull County!
Too funny! I graduated from Warren Western Reserve High School in 1986. I don't miss that place one bit. When I drive back there, I can tell we're getting close to the city because we start to see a dark cloud (even when it's sunny), which we continue to see over the entire "valley" until we leave.
The dark cloud is actually smoldering crack cocaine...coming from thousands of crack pipes burning in neighborhoods all over Warren. Maybe some pot in there too but mostly crack. Back in the '60s it was smoke from steel mills like Republic Steel and Copperweld. Now it's burning opiates. Another part of the cloud is fried brain cells...that is near the top of the cloud. You can't really see if from the ground.
i am growing up in warren and its not that bad, u make it sound like hell. even though i grow up in howland, and thats the nicest place, all of warren is not a shit hole
You heathen, I'm Amish and even Middlefield beats Warren, Ohio. Middlefield even SMELLS better. Unlike your town, the only time I see Crack is when the horse in front of me lifts its tail. Dadburnit!
Amish?? What are you doing on the internet?? I thought ya'll don't use electricity!!! What's the point of using a horse and carriage if you have all the other bells and whistles. Gimmie a break! I've seen Amish using credit cards now. WTF? And ya'll get tax breaks?? I should become amish if that's the case. With the exception of the clothing, beards, and horse-drawn buggies ya'll live just like the rest of the modern-day folks. SMH!
My computer is in the barn, it runs off a generator. I have AOL (Amish On Line). You COULD become Amish, we do convert Yankees like yourself. Amish living is MUCH cheaper than Virginia Beach. How are you at pulling a plow?
Man, someone got really butthurt about the hilarious commentary on Warren's awful state. I thumbs-upped all the comments I could, but meh.
I would never go back to Warren again if I didn't have friends there. All of Northeast Ohio is a wreck, but Warren is the most depressing. I mean, Youngstown was always a dirty... "crap"hole, but Warren used to have POTENTIAL for greatness! It would be funny if it weren't so sad, and sad if it weren't so funny!
Great song... totally unrealted to anywhere USA... I could make any place look like shit with still shots of rundown areas and put them in black and white. Just remeber the grass aint always greener my friend. Cheers
You could make any place look like shit with still shots of rundown areas? You joined You Tube on July 19, 2006. Over two years and your site has no videos on it. When are you going to show us some of your wonderful ideas?!?! You try and defend a shithole town that has been on the decline since the 1970s. This person obviously risked their life to take pictures in areas of Warren where no sane person would go. Like downtown, the West Side, the other side, etc.
Because of the Ohio Trap. Once you're in Ohio, you can never make enough money to leave. Doesn't hold true to those who voluntarily move to the state, but you're pretty much boned if you were born here after 1974. Warren is like, a garvitational singularity of misery and despair. The closer you are too it, the more money it takes to escape, until even infinite funds aren't enough.
Wrong! It costed me $1,310 to move. But HEY I only had to pay 10% of that. Thanks to OneStop Ohio. But now I'll be moving back. THANK GOD! I can't STAND where I live at. Virginia Beach!
Yhea... It's Dirty Old Town!! LOL! Love the video and music!! Cracks me up. Way to go my friend. Keep it up. Love seeing these things... makes me glad I moved!!! hahaha.. Rich
Warren is not that bad. Sure we have problems. What city of our size doesn't? To me be part of the solution and not the problem. Someone with talent obviously made this video. Too bad they don't use their talents to promote the city instead of showing some crappy parts of town. We will turn it around eventually. We need to get rid of the negativity and promote our youth to get involved. I have been to parts of the south that look worse than Warren so please give it a rest morons!!!!
I think they are showing the downside of Warren here. Howland is one of the few areas that hasn't totally gone to hell...yet. They'll probably be able to add Howland to the list in a few years.
My families here but I'm moving. Not anywhere better and well, technically I live in Cortland, Ohio.. My dad and aunt grew up in Warren. My mom grew up in Champion. But all I have to say is that I'll miss the Cortland Street Fair and Trumbull County Fair every year... and my family except for my dad. Never had a good relationship with him. I liked the video though!
I've lived in Warren all my life,all my family is still here which is very important to me. Warren has seen better days...this is not a progressive area, but I have some hope for the future. To all you Warren bashers i have but one word..MOVE!
Umm excuse u i live in Warren, Ohio and have since the day i was born and there are nice places here so get it straight!

I'm a bit confused by another viewer's comment on "corrupt conservatives" in Warren government causing Warren's plight...Warren hasn't had a Republican or conservative government for many, many generations. Thank you for such an emotion provoking video.

Poor attitude! I don't think so. More like realistic. Unless your talking about a major restructuring of government, things are not going to change in Warren. I agree Warren has tons of good people but you can't do anything to benefit those people when the government is rigidly controlled and resists change. Hell, they ran a female hot dog vendor out of business for Christsakes!! Get real!

The problem with Warren is that any jobs that are worth a shit are sewed up by nepotism. The town is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Crooked conservatives. Where are all the crooked fucks going to get money when the town finally folds?
blabblab1212 2 years ago
Your right we have problems and yes I travel all over the country and Europe too. I am not sheltered. I know that your attitude sucks and if we all try a little harder we can all make a difference. I have faith in our community we still have tons of good people left in this town. With the age of the internet our cost of living here is dirt cheap. We need to fill these empty factories. I am not a union guy just an entrepenuer and I know what i'm talking about. We can turn it around.
mrcafeman 2 years ago
The cost of living is so damn cheap because of all the fucking rampant grafting, corruption, and organized crime.
You want to turn Warren around? Burn a few select restaurants to the ground, and shoot everyone wearing a suit who runs out of the flames.

If you don't want to help and have and no respect for your roots, then go run far far away, we don't need you here. Don't let the door hit you in the ass! The called "realistic" point of view is we can make a difference even though our politicians have failed us. There are many citizens groups that have formed that are still making a difference. Many voices are better than one.

Warren, Ohio. Proud to feature the nation's finest highway system with roads as smooth as glass. The city has the honor of having a progressive, caring government and the roads prove that. The reason for that is that the thoughtful, caring government folks work in the city but live in Howland and Cortland, so you know their heart is in maintaining the city.
blabblab1212 2 years ago
Yes its so much fun driving through Warren dodging the craters in the streets.A war zone has better roads.Then there is the feeling of security one gets from all the thugs and gangstas.Citygovernment???Deadwood was more honest than that rotten bunch of crooks....I will say that the pizza places there are really good....

So, just take photos of the courthouse square, then? That's all the city cares about.
Ask the business owners on the square. Every time the city throws an Italian festival, they block off all of the parking spaces for every shop around the square. That's REALLY good for local business! Yes, everyone comes downtown, BUT NOBODY ACTUALLY SHOPS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PARK IN TOW-AWAY ZONES.

After they tore down most of Warren G Harding, when everybody who had ever attended the school begged for at least the front of the building to be saved from demolition. In vain.

Got smart and left? What you see is what you get when people have no sense of ownership in their community. It is the result of inaction and abandonment by many of the "natives" which has resulted in what is shown here. The mindset is so disturbed that posters from Howland feel it's more important to have street cred than to be proud of living in a functioning community.
Tartinitone 2 years ago
Howland is just people thinking they're not worthless because they're nailed to Niles, which used to be a Sundown Town. Yeah, real glorious past there.
The whole area is dead. Warren has like what, five cops now, if that, and every business a mile from the courthouse gets robbed on a weekly basis. People from goddamn Youngstown come through to pick the carcass clean. And I use the term "people" so loosely that you could drive a truck through it. And hit a pothole deep enough to break an axle.

I was born here, and I live here now. Right in Meth Central, a mile from Hooker Highway. More power to you for actually staying in business, but you haven't been robbed at gunpoint enough times to see what Warren is really like. Ask why the Chicken Coop moved to Cortland. How many times have the Dollar Stores on the west side been robbed since September?
My first night back in Warren after years away was celebrated with a gunfight six houses away that led to a child being shot in the head.

I was born in Warren Ohio in 1984, and lived on McMyler Street. I remember being a kid and it was not a good city then, and is doesnt seem to be doing any better. As a kid I can recall a lot of drug problems in the area, and the house we lived in got broken into two times, and my mom shot as one of the perps. Luckily for my family we moved to Michigan, and we havent looked back since. The only thing that ever left with me from the that town was WWR and Ohio State football. Go BUCKS!!

Though most of us didn't choose to live here, you shouldn't forget where you came from, especially if you still live there. like one said warren was booming with the steele mills, dont forget when everyone wasn't doing nothing at packard. Warren did go down in value a lot but i got a great education from warren city schools and tctc. i wont forget that, even when i move to bigger and better things. If you want it better you got to make it!!!

Yep - make it better, if you can get past the small-minded, greedy nepostism of the "powers that be" running Warren, Ohio (i.e., the people who are spending money putting in brick crosswalks because they look nice, while closing fire departments and letting tax-paying residents suffer for lack of security and safety personnel).

I got to page 11 of the comments before I couldn't take the rips on Howland anymore! Not all of Howland is rich folks wearing diamonds and fur. It was right near Candlelight Apts that a guy I graduated with murdered a hooker and left her for dead in the gutter off North Rd. Not all Howland graduates have pedigrees, some of us struggled to make ends meet too.

Yep. Millionaire's Row is beautiful. All one block of it. I know, I work in a century-home-turned-office there, only a few buildings from the Upton House. My office windows look out on the Women's Park. And that tiny area is beautiful, so the mayor has a scenic place to work. But anyone who thinks that makes up for the rest of the slums is living with blinders on, which is why Warren can call itself the "Festival City" while homeless starve and freeze under the Market Street Bridge.

A comment from Rayne, who made the video:
In two years Warren has not been "cleaned up." "All" of the schools have not been replaced (by the way, where did you graduate?) The amphitheater is nice, but where is it? Right off courthouse square - where everything is nice, like a little Pleasantville bubble. What do I have against Warren? Nothing personal - I was just showing what IS there. Just because you'd prefer not to look at it doesn't mean it isn't real.

Actually, those are some of the worst parts of town. I live in NE Warren and grew up in Cortland. The NE side is still very nice. I recognize most of those areas, the one factory is the closed Packard Plant on Dana St. (practically in Howland Twp.), the electrical place is on Niles Rd. (not the nicest of areas), and the area around WCI steel isn't that great either. Warren might not be as nice as when some of you lived here, but it's still home for me and thousands of others and i like it.

Unfortunately, we didn't film the worst areas of town. Many of the scenes in this video are within a few miles of downtown.

lsn2jah 3 years ago
The dark cloud is actually smoldering crack cocaine...coming from thousands of crack pipes burning in neighborhoods all over Warren. Maybe some pot in there too but mostly crack. Back in the '60s it was smoke from steel mills like Republic Steel and Copperweld. Now it's burning opiates. Another part of the cloud is fried brain cells...that is near the top of the cloud. You can't really see if from the ground.

Because of the Ohio Trap. Once you're in Ohio, you can never make enough money to leave. Doesn't hold true to those who voluntarily move to the state, but you're pretty much boned if you were born here after 1974. Warren is like, a garvitational singularity of misery and despair.
