I live pretty close to Mill Creek park and the past two years plus there has been an animal hanging around late at night early in the morning making odd whimpering/howling? noises. More recently it sounds like there is more than one and it's vocalization has changed or at least one of them has changed and sounds deeper. I would like to know if anyone else has heard it. I can't believe I haven't seen anything about it but to be fair I'm an early riser so most people are still asleep when Im up. I know it isn't an owl, fox, coyote, deer or bear. I'm originally from Appalachia so I am very familiar with wildlife and I've never heard anything like this. No this is not a Halloween prank. I've literally been hearing this thing for going on 3 years and my husband and mom have heard it too. It's actually died down quite a bit except for a few days ago when I heard it and heard what sounded like multiples of whatever it is. I definitely do not think it's a person because last year very early in the morning when I was taking my dogs out I heard it and went over into the house next doors backyard to see if I could see it. That house has been vacant for a while and it sounded like this animal was literally in the brush in the backyard. Well the closer I got to it the further away it sounded but I heard no movement of it leaving the vicinity of the backyard.

The best way I can describe the sound is similar to a dog whimpering then into a higher pitched short howl. It repeats the vocalization and the only variations I've heard were more recently a few days ago when it sounded deeper with maybe some growling mixed in.

If anyone has heard something similar please let me know.

MIL had heart attack and may have open heart surgery with a long recovery. Her kids are flying in from Singapore (we’re not from the area). Can anyone suggest an area within 10 min drive that is near a park, walkable and nice? Not trying to turn this into a vacation but the tension is nearly unbearable. Maybe an place (hotel or AirBNB) where we can see some beauty to help break the tension.

Thanks in advance.

Who’s got the best chicken paprikash in the area?I’ve lived here my whole life and never had it. Great Lakes brewing in Cleveland had some bomb chicken paprikash perogies. Wondering if I can find something closer that can compare.

Anyone else dealing with this? I live 5 minutes from my parents and they have internet, but mine has been out since about 7:00pm yesterday.

I’ve checked Armstrong’s Facebook page to see if they mentioned any updates but they have not. Their phones are also busy.

I’m generally a conservative but the ad from Vivek has gotten Amy my vote. It literally is nothing but an attack campaign and is the exact reason good people don’t want to join politics.

Hello I’m a musician from the youngstown area and I am a YSU student. My band is https://www.facebook.com/share/1GKRYRJXNa/?mibextid=wwXIfr . @CherryBomb in the Youngstown Ribs and Rock festivals most recent post. We would appreciate the support!.

Looking to get new downspout drains installed at my house. Has anyone used a company called Drain Designs out of Youngstown? Anyone have any good recommendations?

Has the greatest player in the history of the program currently playing at QB who is from the area and has a play style that is incredibly entertaining to watch. They score almost at will, have a legit shot at winning it all and the stadium is more than half empty every game, 80% of the students leave after half, the tailgate lot is full of people getting drunk and I don’t think half of them even go into the game.

You can get reserved tickets, 50 yard line, for $10, ten freaking dollars. Buy them on the YSU website and just select “senior” no one checks or cares. Parking is $5 at the Beegly Hall lot, you can literally sneak in snacks and drinks in your coat or purse, no one cares, and it’s great football.

Go see them.

I lived away from Youngstown for a long time, so there's an undeniable hole in my local knowledge, but even on this board, there aren't very many threads about her, much less about her being a product of the city. Is there anyone else who didn't know this or am I just 2000 and late?

Looking at Legacy Tire & Auto for some maintenance work (just moved from out of state). They have 5 stars on google, so I'm curious if anyone here has firsthand experience with them.

For anyone who's been there, how was your experience? And how do they compare to other places? Thanks!

Valor Energy, an automobile transaction company pursuing a transformation into digital infrastructure, has purchased an 18-megawatt computing facility in Youngstown for a possible AI data center project.
Valor Energy purchased the 30,888-square-foot facility at 1911 Logan Avenue at the intersection with Halleck Street for $3.6 million.

The company plans to turn the existing site into an AI data center. Additional design, construction equipment and permitting work are required to execute this plan.
Valor says that by acquiring an existing facility rather than undeveloped land, this could shorten the timeframe for the project’s completion.

This might be a long shot, but we figured Reddit might know something we don't!

My husband and I are on a mission to purchase an existing campground or find enough land to build one somewhere in Northeast Ohio.

This isn't just a hypothetical dream. We're actively looking for property and exploring opportunities to make this a reality.

The goal is to create a campground where people can genuinely disconnect, spend time outdoors, and make memories with family and friends.

We've been searching through traditional real estate listings, but we know that some of the best opportunities never make it onto those websites.

So we're turning to the people who actually know the area.

A few things we'd love to know:

• Does anyone know of an existing campground whose owners might be considering retirement or selling?
• Have you come across larger parcels of land that might be worth looking into?
• Are there areas of Northeast Ohio you think would be particularly good for a new campground?
• If you're a camper, what's something you wish more campgrounds offered?

We're taking the business side seriously, including understanding what it takes to develop and operate a campground. We also know we have a lot to learn.

We made this short video to explain what we're trying to accomplish.

We're calling the journey Finding Camp Perfect, and we're sharing the process as we go, including the challenges and mistakes.

If you have a lead, advice, or even a cautionary tale from someone who's done something similar, we'd love to hear it.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully we'll have a campground to welcome you to someday!

I pop into Tangiers in Struthers from time to time. I have a few friends that live near there. My question is, why do the bartenders hate their jobs?? Literally the worst. If you aren’t a regular, good luck getting a drink. And to order food??? Give it a try if you got nowhere to be that day.

That’s it. That’s my question.

I recently created a Facebook group called Finding Your People – On the Spectrum Social Club | NE Ohio & Western PA for autistic adults ages 18–35.

Someone I know and love is on the spectrum, and I've seen firsthand how challenging it can be to meet new people and build friendships, especially as an adult. That's what inspired me to create this group! 💚

My hope is to bring together adults on the spectrum who share similar interests and want to make friends, whether it's gaming, chatting online, going to the movies, grabbing dinner, or planning group outings.

This isn't a traditional support group. It's a place to socialize, have fun, and build genuine friendships!

If you know someone who might benefit from this group, please encourage them to join or share this post to help spread the word!

Her lawn care guy is done for the season and didn't tell her so her lawn in currently overgrown. Does anyone have any leads on someone?

I was downtown super early and saw deers on Wick Ave, it was just like in the “2 become 1” video

I’m trying to figure out what this siren is. I heard it for the first time about three days ago at around 4:00 AM, and then heard the exact same sound again tonight at around 1:30 AM. I’ve never heard this particular siren before, and I’m not sure if it’s coming from a vehicle or some kind of city siren. My dad thought it might possibly be something from the prison or maybe a tornado/emergency siren, but we’re not sure. I’m posting the recording in case anyone recognizes the sound or knows what uses this type of siren in the area.

so stoked to see these guys come back, and in a bigger and better location no less! anyone know the grand opening?

Local TV (WFMJ 21 News) reported that roughly a quarter of the seats were tarped off, and only about two-thirds of the rest ever filled. Two-thirds of three-quarters is half.

For scale, the Covelli Centre seats about 5,700 for hockey. Even the GOP judge candidate they interviewed said turnout "could have been a little better."

We were out front with about 500 protesters, and didn't see many people walking in. The clip confirms what we suspected.

Guessing the ketchup was flying somewhere on Air Force One later that night, and the Human Binky had her work cut out for her cleaning up the other mess.

Trump isn't on the ballot in November, but Trumpism sure is. Early voting in Ohio is open now through November 1st. Vote early and in person if you can, and bring a friend or family member. The sooner the better, because anything can happen: illness, car trouble, a family emergency, or this administration pulling a fast one on DEMOCRACY.

Ohio - show up, vote these mfrs out for good!
