A sometimes forgotten venue that is a great spot to host an event. Historic, as it was built in…read more1905 and was a rail station for the B&O Railroad, it sits along the Mahoning River in downtown Youngstown and offers an inviting place to have some fun. The interior and decor takes you back in time and can let your mind wander as to how things were when it operated as a train station. They do a great job of having it ready for your event and those in attendance will enjoy themselves and their surroundings while there. Great spot in the Mahoning Valley. Added a few stock photos that capture the elegance of this place too.

If you like beer and you don't stop in to get some Rust Belt brew, well, you don't *really* like…read morebeer. On my first quest to get some Rust Belt brew, they hooked me, but I needed to get me some Blonde before I was a true lifer. On my last outing to the Boxcar Lounge, that's exactly what I did and it was everything I'd hoped for. It is smooth, but light. It is not Lite, as in Miller. In fact, it isn't Bud, Coors, or even, dare I say, Corona. It is a great summer beer. It also is not available in any form other than straight from the tap (currently anyway). So as I'm sitting outside enjoying my beer, over walks a gent who introduces himself as Ken. Quickly I realize that this is Ken Blair, the owner and mastermind behind this little venture. I compliment him on all the beers and he offers a tour of the place. The wife and I finish our beers and head over to the side door. This was an excellent decision. Inside there are all of the things that are required to make beer. And Ken is a great guy. He showed us the process. I decided to get a couple of growlers, one of the Blonde for sure. We chatted about his route to becoming a part-time brewery owner (yes he has another job, you'll have to take the tour to find out what it is). We chatted about his philosophy in the venture. We chatted about a lot of things. All the while, he's working on getting our growlers filled. Because it was taking some time (he had to hook things up to his cooler tap), he pours us a couple of mini-pints. First the Red, then a more generous pour of the Blonde. This is good stuff on a Thursday night. We finally walk out about an hour later having enjoyed a couple of complimentary beers, toting a couple of growlers filled for $7 a piece, and sporting a couple of Rust Belt Brew T-shirts (on the house). It pays to be the only ones on "the tour". In summary, here's what you need to know: - Ken is a passionate guy, about his beer, his business and his adopted hometown - They brew 4 beers right now: 1) Blast Furnace Blonde 2) Coke Oven Stout 3) Rusted River Irish Red Ale 4) Old Man Hopper India Pale Ale - The beers are good in part because they lured away a brewmaster from Penn Brewing. - Growlers are $3. Ken fills them for $7 every Thursday/Friday 4-7, Saturday Noon-5 -- cash only - Ken does tours during the same hours that he fills growlers. - Look for (or ask for) these beers wherever you are reading this, Ken's expanding quickly and would love to add new distributors. - Yes this review is for Rust Belt Brewery, but it's still in the old B&O Station, so I'll keep it under that heading. Check this place out.

Being that I was born in Youngstown, Ohio my family and I have made the trip back to Y-town several…read moredozen times over my 31 years and each time we have to visit Mill Creek Park. No matter if it is just a drive through on a beautiful fall or Spring day or if you visit the rose garden for a concert in the summer or visit mid-winter then the whole place turns white, this place is beautiful! I have some of my earliest memories as a child going to Mill Creek park and renting a boat on the lake. My Grandfather used to take me golfing with him on the golf course. We would have a wonderful time at this beautiful park. No matter where you enter the park, Boardmen, Austintown, Struthers or where ever you are sure to see beautiful trees, tons of hiking trails, the rivers and lakes that run through the middle and some beautiful birds, animal's, and other creatures throughout this park. The nature trails are some of my favorite and on a beautiful fall day there is nothing like going through this park with the leaves changing colors and falling from the trees, the air is crisp and you have cold mornings and warm afternoons. This park is so special to me, I have been here for birthday parties, weddings and even some funerals or celebration of life ceremonies. Certain places inside the park you can get some great view of downtown Youngstown. I wish I could have seen Youngstown in its hayday when the steel mills were working! No matter the reason you go to Mill Creek Park, I am sure you will have a wonderful trip. It has been a few years now since I have made it back to Youngstown, but when I go back, I know I will end up in this beautiful park!

This is the best park. So much to see and do including bike areas, kid ponds with turtles, gardens…read morefor weddings, and lots of water to kayak on. There are several entrances to drive in and exit from. Plus it is all free! If highly recommend just taking a little drive in the morning to check out all the park has to offer.
