Can't quite understand why people still live in Steubenville. When I grew up there it had around 36,000 citizens. After the the implosion of the steel industry it went down to about 17,000. The same thing has happened to Youngstown, Pittsburgh and even Cleveland. The rust belt is still so depressed although Pittsburgh has had a renaissance but not Cleveland. It went from around 950,000 to now 385,000. So sad to see these once viable cities slip into such malaise.
Don't knock Cleveland too much. It has a world class orchestra, an outstanding museum, a pretty nice zoo and some GREAT restaurants.What you say about the population loss is true but the city is no longer "the mistake along the lake".
