    YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM The Depression INTERVIEWEE: JOHN MANNING INTERVIEWER: Cynthia Marsh SUBJECT: The Depression DATE: November 27, 1995 CM: This is an interview with Mr. John Manning for the Youngstown State University Oral History Department. By Cynthia Marsh at 2509 Cardinal Drive, Youngstown, Ohio on November 27 at approximately 1:25 pm. CM: Mr. Manning could you please tell me a little bit about your family and where you grew up? JM: I grew up, well I was born and raised on Kensington Avenue, 1440 Kensington Avenue, and it was four houses from McKinley School. There were seven children in our family, but two died young. They died during the flu epidemic. My dad and mother were born in Ireland. I couldn’t understand why they made it so tough during the Depression; it didn’t seem to bother them. Then when I would visit Ireland and see the conditions that they were used to, living in America was a picnic compared to what they had. They had all outside toilets, for some reason, no running water and a dirt floor. The conditions that they were used to compared to what we had in America was like a picnic and that is why it didn’t seem to bother them. My dad was out of work for four and a half years during the Depression. They had the soup kitchens down in old St. Columba Hall and even though anybody could go down there, all they had to do was bring a pail down to the hall and they would give you a great big pail of vegetable, hot vegetable soup.

  • North Side Planning District
    Chapter 7 — Planning Districts 57 North Side Planning District Th e North Side Planning District consists of three neighborhoods and part of an industrial district. Brier Hill, North Heights, Wick Park and the northern section of the Riverbend Industrial Park are contained in this cluster. Traces of Youngstown’s early settlement, economic, industrial and cultural history are scattered through these neighborhoods. Location Th e North Side Planning District is bounded by the Mahoning River on the west, the City of Girard and Liberty Township on the North, Crab Creek on the east and the Madison Avenue Expressway on the south. Th e District occupies parts of both Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. Neighborhoods 1. Brier Hill Th e Brier Hill neighborhood grew on the homestead of early Youngstown industrialist and Ohio’s Civil War governor, David Tod. Tod’s mines provided coal for his mills and subdivision of his land provided housing for the miners and iron workers that provided muscle for such enterprises. Brier Hill grew as an unincorporated village inside Youngstown Township until it was absorbed by the City in stages between 1880 and 1900. Th e rapid expansion of industry was a pull factor for the entire Mahoning Valley and Brier Hill served as an entry point for early immigrants, Welsh, Irish, Italian and African American as they, like the raw materials they processed, coalesced and became the strength of a rapidly growing industrial region. Th e coal mines that fueled the iron industry are long gone and the old rooming houses are either razed or in various stages of disrepair.

  • Chapter 4 — Citywide Conditions 29
    Citywide Conditions Chapter 4 — Citywide Conditions 29 Th e reality that became Map 9 Youngstown after the 1951 & 1974 plans only slightly resembles the intentions of the planners. Th e current land use (see Map 9) shows prescribed uses peppered with widespread non- conforming uses. It demonstrates far too much commercial, industrial and residential use for a city of 82,000. Th e current land use shows the need to plan for the new reality of a smaller city. 30 Chapter 4 — Citywide Conditions Population Th e City of Youngstown has experienced an average of 16% population decline every ten years for the past 40 years and has lost over half its total population. It is anticipated that this trend will slow and the population will stabilize. Race White Black Other Th e racial make up the City has changed over time as well. Twenty years ago 64% of the population was white and by 2000, it was just over 50%. Th e city had become racially balanced. Age Th e majority of the population of the city in 2000 was between 20 and 54 years old. An important factor to consider is that of the 25.3 % of the population over the age of 55 years old, 17.4 % were over the age of 65.

  • O'neill, MOIRA, MA AUGUST 2019 GEOGRAPHY EVOLUTION and COOPERATION in the YOUNGSTOWN AREA (175 Pp.)
    O’NEILL, MOIRA, M.A. AUGUST 2019 GEOGRAPHY EVOLUTION AND COOPERATION IN THE YOUNGSTOWN AREA (175 pp.) Thesis Advisor: David H. Kaplan The ongoing populist backlash against the liberal-democratic world order has strong geographical dimensions and demands a reckoning with growing spatial inequality. Until now, economic geography has largely viewed the divergent trajectories of local and regional economies as a either a process of evolutionary selection or the byproduct of localized institutional structures. However, this thesis proposes a new framework to synthesize the two, conceptualizing geographical inequality as the result of agent-driven equilibrium selection within an evolving complex system. Using a post-industrial community in eastern Ohio as a case, three studies demonstrate the usefulness of this approach. First, an historical survey traces the rise, stagnation, and decline of the Youngstown area’s economy as the result of changing competitive landscapes and the (in)ability of local institutions to coordinate a response. Second, a quantitative analysis relates initial community characteristics to outcomes following the Great Recession. Here, neighborhood economic norms and membership effects offered the most compelling explanation for why some communities were resilient in the face of the shock while others fared poorly. Third, a mixed-methods approach combines qualitative fieldwork with non- cooperative game theory and illustrates how institutional coordination failure has trapped much of the Mahoning Valley in a sub-optimal state of development. The overwhelming evidence from these studies leads to the conclusion that for place economies, evolutionary fitness should be considered synonymous with institutional fitness. That is, norms around cooperation and economic activity are the driving forces behind local development outcomes amidst macroeconomic change.

  • Chapter 8 — Implementation 127
    Chapter 8 — Implementation 127 The City of Youngstown has experienced both the prosperity of the steel industry with census data showing its highest per capita family income locally (adjusted for inflation) achieved in 1960 to the devastating results of deindustrialization with huge population and jobs losses since the 1970s. The City has been drifting along ever since without any real direction until now. Youngstown 2010 has reignited the community civic pride and set a new direction for development in Youngstown. This new direction is not without difficult choices or long term commitments. Individual projects and decisions must conform to the new Youngstown 2010 Citywide Plan. More detailed neighborhood plans are encouraged to be undertaken by residents, organizations and businesses in each of the 31 neighborhoods in the city, similar to the Smoky Hollow neighborhood. The City of Youngstown is only a partner in the revitalization of the community and is not the sole responsible entity. Government, business, institutions and the community working together is the only way Youngstown has a chance of a sustainable future. It’s our future, get involved! Next Steps During the planning process from the visioning sessions, the presentations and the neighborhood meetings, careful attention was given to the comments of the participants as to their views on projects that would make Youngstown a more desirable place to live. They were specifically asked for projects that could reasonably be expected to be underway or completed by 2010. The City can, by enacting and enforcing design standards consistent with the Youngstown 2010 Vision and Plan, jump start the process towards implementation.

This foundational study was designed to track the decline of urban Catholic parochial elementary schools in the former steel-production center of Youngstown, Ohio —a situation that I examine from historical, sociological, and philosophical perspectives. While my study employs standard historical research methods, it also features a strong theoretical dimension that draws on literature pertaining to American Catholic identity.
