Just curious how people feel about investing in Youngstown Ohio. 

 Don't invest in to dumps.  This is not 1803, and Youngstown Ohio is past its prime. Just listen to the song Youngstown by Bruce Springsteen.  


Ah, yes. The best investing advice always comes from 30-year-old songs.

 Pretty sure one can just Google Youngstown Ohio and know that the place is crumbin' down (get it?).

Any investor looks for places which have a bright future, not one's where their downtown is closed due to crumbling and unsafe buildings.

As Bones would say, it's dead Jim.  Don't blame me, I didn't kill it, it's been dead for a while.. 


One downtown building that recently suffered a gas explosion doesn't constitute the entire metro area, but no matter. You won't hear any complaints from me. Better that out of state investors keep their fingers out of the area all together. More pie for me. 🙂
