Officials determine when Realty Building will be demolished 

This is absolutely tragic, and i say this a a Youngstown native who has seen this city decline for decades. To be clear, I no longer live in Youngstown, but stay abreast of news from there. It's my home town . The loss of The Realty Building not only changes the skyline of the city, but accentuates the hard fact that, past a point, there is no path for Youngstown to find any way forward. This leaves a hole in the city and in our collective hearts. We can "Shout Youngstown" as much as we want, but this does not seem a well run city. Best to all, S. Lowry

Sadly, its time has come.
