Not what I expectedBy lehI bought this for my dad so he could stroll down memory lane. Needed a lot more photographs.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An excellent visual and textual guide to Youngstowns past (and potential)By Letter AI purchased Lost Youngstown as a gift for my mom this past Easter. She grew up on Youngstowns North Side and remembers vividly many of the locations that Sean Posey documents in his book. Each chapter pairs clear descriptions and recollections of the citys industrial centers; clubs and bars; and neighborhoods. The photographs - most by the author himself - are vivid and haunting in both their content and sequence. An image of the Newport Theater shortly after opening is followed by a shot of the location in present day in which the Newport has been replaced by a Burger King. Poseys message is clear without being preachy: in the face of rapidly growing homogenization; our cultural histories are of enormous worth and must be preserved and drawn from as our urban centers and surrounding suburbs continue to change.As someone who was born well after the crippling decline of industry in Youngstown; Lost Youngstown has helped me to connect with both my family and my citys history. Highly recommended. See also Steeltown USA: Work and Memory in Youngstown by Sherry Linkon and John Russo and; if you have Italian family from Brier Hill as I do; check out both of Tony Trolios books about the Hill.
