Our town motto is, “Young in spirit. Ageless in pride.” While I’m not sure about the first part, I am sure about second.

Below are words that come to my mind when I think of Youngstown, though I’m sure other people would have different words to describe this place. I have added and discarded probably about 50 words, and these are the ones that remain for me. Words left out are just as important.
