Shot this on the Northside of Youngstown, Ohio. The much talked about revitalization, of the immediate downtown area, has apparently failed to spread to other areas of the city.

Another casualty of suburban sprawl, unfortunately. The traffic in Boardman and Austintown is so heavy it takes forever to get anywhere. Well-done photo that tells a story, Pamela! #1316276Robert R. Goodman October 10, 2010

Sad to see this all too common scene. You really caught the feeling of abandonment perfectly. Unfortunately this scene is repeated all over the country with empty buildings and homes everywhere... #8960223Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
