Youngstown

Mill Creek Park Suspension Bridge was erected 1895. People have called it by other names, Cinderella Bridge chiefly. A lot of people used their cameras on this. The bridge does carry vehicles.

Lanterman’s Mill was built in 1845-46 by German Lanterman, and Samuel Kimberly. It was the third mill there.  It ceased operating in 1888. The Park bought it in 1892, and used it for various purposes.  In 1933 it held a nature museum, which became a historical museum in 1972. During 1982-85 it was becoming a grist mill again. Fotos are very easy to take from the bridge on Canfield Road, it conveniently has bump outs on the sidewalk.

Between downtown and Mill Creek Park is Glenwood Avenue. Some buildings have painted murals.

Alfred Solani. Columbus. 1959. Youngstown (now). 

Cristoforo Colombo travelled and explored his world. This statue has travelled too. First sculpted in Italia, it was to go to San Francisco. It instead went to Barrington (Chicago) Illinois in 1966. It was vandalised (physically damaged). In 1986 it was resculpted, and it was mounted at Columbus State Community College in 1988. It was vandalised (minor) after George Floyd's death, as were many statues associated with exploitation of native peoples.  The city of Columbus had three statues of Columbus. Two statues were taken down, this statue was removed June 19, 2020. In 2022 the Knights of Columbus by the greater campus of Mount Carmel Basilica were given the statue.

Downtown Youngstown is compact. There are government buildings, Butler Art, YSU, ethnic churches (some closed). Right by the art museum is this sign, behind the museum is Youngstown State University.

A mansion across from the art museum is very well landscaped, and a penguin statue looks out at the street. Penguins are comically likable.
