Youngstown's Paramount Theater

So after I dropped the nieces Lehman off yesterday afternoon, I visited some old friends, neighbors and family then made a detour through downtown Youngstown. Like Cincinnati they are trying to revive the downtown area but are struggling with a much steeper hill to climb. They do have their share of interesting history and architecture though, West Federal Street is full of it, and the old Paramount Theater has been turned into a “Museum Without Walls”. It contains pictures, ads and program covers from the old theater as well as street scenes and neighboring buildings. And just as Cincinnati has the pig, Youngstown has the penguin, with versions of them all over town.











UPDATE: So Ms. 5chw4r7z asks, "Whatya think of the blue bridge being gone?" You know the bridge I drove over 1,896,357 times while living on the North Side?
Dang I totally drove over the 7/11 connector and didn't even realize it wasn't there!
