This picture of Youngstown hits close to home. I was born in Youngstown and raised about 15 miles north of Youngstown.

This has to be a picture of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube in what is now Campbell Ohio. In the years after this picture mills like this ran almost the entire length of the Mahoning River.
On Monday September 19th 1977 the mill announced it was shutting down.
In one day 5000 people lost their jobs and Youngstown has never been the same again.
