I used to love going to North Side drive-in as a kid.  when the weather was warm,  my mom would park in
the back rows and we would sit on top of the car......

Sorry if this is something that everyone already knew but I found this on the Today in history column in the Youngstown Vindicator in reference to the State Theater...

January 2, 1928: Youngstown's newest playhouse, the State, throws open its doors to the public and before the theater is closed after the last performance of the day several thousand persons see and praise the building's beauty.
