Where was it 1

[Towntalk]

I did find one after all.

[Towntalk]

Strangely for as famous as he was, I couldn't find any pictures of him. J. G. Butler references him, but no pictures.

I would like to create a steel wall of fame, but have not figured out just yet what it would look like or who would be included. 

I enjoyed your photos but I didn't see Julian Kennedy's picture.  Hey maybe that can be your next quiz question.  Who was Julian Kennedy?

[Towntalk]

If I came off sounding like a grouch Rick, I'm sorry because I have a great deal of respect for you and all your work in preserving our steel history.

Might I also while I'm at it make this suggestion for your museum. A wall of fame containing pictures of the men who made the industry possable in Youngstown. I have many portraits of most of the men on my webshots site that you are free to download.

I was joking! Lighten up!

I never knew Phelps went up the hill.  Always thought that it dead ended there.

[Towntalk]

  Yep "ooops" Sorry about that. 

Chock it up to old age.

[Why?Town]

Alright here is an easy one ...

Didn't say that it would be easy...

ooops!

[Towntalk]

Didn't say that it would be easy, so what do you want ... somethinng so easy that a first grader who never saw Youngstown could get it?

Our Forum Manager came very close to getting it, and a tip of the hat to her.

By the way, that road was still in existence as late as 1907 according to the Sanborne Fire Insurance Map. Any idea when it was finally closed and the bridge over the tracks built?

In fact Rick, it was still open as late as 1928.

[Rick Rowlands]

Yes I can see how easy it would be to identify with not a single object in that photo existing at the present, not even the road remains.  What a cinch!!!  

[Towntalk]

I guess this was tougher than I thought it would be, but it was located at Phelps and Commerce looking north to Wood Street before the railroads came to town.

[Towntalk]

It's nowhere on either Wick or Fifth Avenue or Market Street

[Shar]

Wick and Rayen Ave? 

[Towntalk]

Sorry.

[Shirley]

Darn!   The house at the top of the photo reminds me of a house that was only torn down in the last few years that was at the corner of Fifth and Wood.

[Towntalk]

Sorry, but no cigar.
