Well, when i started at YSU in '97 it was the safest campus in Ohio. So that doesn't surprise me.

Youngstown is going places. Its downtown has come along way in just a few short years. I can't wait till this economy finally turns around and see much more development and investment in downtown Youngstown and the city as well.

Taken at Sidecut park in Maumee Some of these are on the photography thread, hope you don't mind the re-post.

Wow...beautiful shots! I don't remember there being that many deer at Sidecut Park. Do you think they're being flushed out by suburban sprawl and forced to seek refuge in the park? I grew up along the river just outside of Waterville and we always had deer in the woods on the back of our property along the Maumee River. Side Cut Park is so pretty....I remember many family picnics and Girl Scout outings there!

They say that the park is really over populated with deer now, and I believe it. I don't remember ever being able to find as many as easily as I have the past 2 years or so. The people who live near the park complain about them being a nuisance now One walk thru the woods I saw 4 different "groups", all doe and fawns, 20 total (the day of the last photos, last week after the snow). When you see them in the summer without the winter coat they seem so thin. But it is such a thrill to be able to get fairly (safely) close to such beautiful wildlife!

I'll bet! I hope local wildlife officials don't resort to what they're doing in many places and having legal hunts on certain days to thin out the deer population. I don't see why they can't find other methods such as humanely trapping them and relocating them to more remote areas....or as they're doing on an island here in SC, is trapping the females and spaying them (as many as they can, anyway), then releasing them back into the wild so they won't reproduce.

Along the West Branch Huron River, downstream of Monroeville, upstream of Milan (north central part of the state):
