There is an old army documentary video produced during the war. It is almost 16 minutes long and is in black and white. The topic is Youngstown, Ohio and its steelmaking. There are some shots of downtown Ytown with people getting on and off the bus dressed up in their downtown clothes.  Also, there are a couple of quick scenes of Lansingville and Haseltine as well as some shots of a Wilson vs. South football game. The people mentioned in it were real, maybe some of your relatives. The steel mill scenes were great and take me back to the two times I got to tour Youngstown Sheet and Tube in the sixties.  This is a real gem for local history buffs. I found it on YouTube.
