Downtown Youngstown?

[Smokey362]

I work out of the downtown area and today I went to cash my paycheck at the bank I deal with.  Parking was great, right in front of the bank....but.....The Downtown area reminds me of one of those old time movie sets, the movie was shot, and everyone left.  Where did all the thousands of people go?  Back when I was a child, we would go downtown to see the Nativity Scene in front of the Christmas Tree.  Where did THAT go?  There's a lot of cement down there, traffic lights that go on and off and no traffic for them to control.  Someone spent a LOT of money to make the Downtown area look like it did 30 years ago....but where did all the people go that used to shop down there?  Actually, there is no reason to GO downtown, there's nothing there anymore.
