Ghosts of Oak Hill ~Art Deco, Churches and Where the Bad Boys Went~ Youngstown, Ohio 

Thanks Jim. Really enjoyed your video of the south side in Youngstown. The inside of St Patrick Church is breathtaking. So glad you had a good week. 👍

Thank you for covering the sections of town…that were part of great memories.

Nicely done- love the historical tidbits! Thanks

Woo Hoo! Happy to see you back! I knew you were on Oak Hill!! Walked Oak Hill for 6 years to go to St. Patrick’s. Walter’s Golden Crust Bakery is where we got our cakes.

I lived on Southern Blvd between Maywood Dr and Lowell from 1975 to 1980 and a few years ago, I met a couple in Dallas where I live now at a concert at a local venue. After finding out they were from Ohio, I told them where I lived in the 70s and they said " Oh you lived near the KC hall and the public sidewalk"! This is what we called a path between a house and the KC Hall that led from Southern Blvd to Halena Ave. I thought me and my friends gave it the name of "the public sidewalk" back in 76 but here is a couple in the 2000's. I hope that you can maybe dig up some history on that KC hall building and the surrounding area. Anyway Thank you for your videos and taking me back to what I think is the best place I ever lived :) Thanks Jim

St. Pat’s, baptized there, great memories of that church, we lived on Essex. I remember a big paint store on Essex, and I think a glass store. Now, the late Sister Jerome’s school’s address is where my grandfather’s house was. My aunt and uncles went to St. Pat’s.

I never knew there were statues on the church. Thank you!

Yes of the 2 St. Patrick’s school. The “new” school was on Glenwood.

The mention of the Cassablanca was on one of the Facebook pages I follow. I what's curious to know where it once stood. The interior of the church was surreal from the sharp contrast of the surrounding neighborhood.

Was in the Yo today.. went to the Go Kart place in Boardman..

Wow what happened to all the houses?? Loved Lawson’s!! I’m hungry for chip dip! 2 cent popsicles from Lawson’s.

Does anyone remember the doughnut oven I can barely remember but my big sis would get me food from there it was great

Probably homes. I remember lots of houses. My parents wouldn’t have let us walk the streets. The area used to be so bad.

Yes the juvenile detention center.

Very rough neighborhood.

It was a gas station!!
