Title: Bicycle Shop
Post by: jay on June 10, 2022, 05:44:20 AM
I saw an ad in the newspaper the other day for a bicycle shop on the north side.

The ad stated that it is the only bicycle shop in Youngstown.

The shop is located at 1205 Elm Street.

For some reason I thought the last bike shop in Youngstown was for sale.

Results of my semi-normal googling addiction:

Now I'm not sure what style of building that was or is.  I do see two stone crosses, so I bet it was a Church at one time but without a steeple, which it may have never had, it looks like someone needed a stone fortress.

I passed this address on Saturday.  The business is located in a former church.
