One of the original headquarters for organized crime. Violence, Corruption, Death. The type of place where you breed knuckle busters.

A city in Northeastern Ohio named after John Young, who came there in 1797 after purchasing the whole township. Youngstown is largely impoverished with the median household income less than 20 grand a year. Youngstown is also notorious for its crime rate with an average of 52 murders a year and countless rapes and robberies. Only 7% of the city's population has a Bachelor's degree or higher, which may account for the poor economy. With the closet city (with a pop. of 1,000,000+) being Philadelphia and a nasty climate, Youngstown is not a desirable place to be.
I want to commit suicide so I'm gonna stand in the Youngstown Projects for an hour or so to let someone else do the dirty work.

Youngstown is not as bad as listed here. It has its problems like every city. Nice parks, affordable housing (outside of the projects, like every other city has in America) a top notch, affordable state university and good paying jobs. Suburbs i.e. Boardman, Austintown, Canfield, Poland are very successful.
