Our County Commissioners threw away millions of dollars to buy the old Southside Hospital while our beautiful courthouse was crumbling around them. Where were their brains?

When was the Mahoning County Courthouse restored and why wasn't this problem addressed at that time?

I don't think there is enough room in the county courthouse to house all the people and organizations currently in Oakhill.

The predominant opinion amongst the bottom feeders on the Vindy forum is that the courthouse should be demolished.  The old "tear it down" mentality is alive and well in Youngstown!

That's one of the most frustrating things about living around here.

It wouldn't be hard to come up with a list of things around here that should be demolished.

I don't think the courthouse should be anywhere near that list
