Overheard in my Akron office the other day:
Manager: So-and-so just called me. He's got a new job in Youngstown and said he could help us with our website if we want to host it ourselves.
Director: I'd have to know who he's working with. Most of those guys are Mafia.
What? Which century are you living in? Do you keep up with the news, or are you still living in the 80s or the 90s?
We're bringing this city back. We're all working very hard at bringing this city back. And attitudes like yours do nothing to help.
I hear similar attitudes expressed at least once a week, denigrating Youngstown, doubting its ability to be resurrected.
How do we change these attitudes? What will it take to show people that Youngstown is the big city that could?
