Cache Owner celticsun33 has left us a 12-year-old treasure hunt in a Christmas sandwich: between two GREENS.
Following our geotrail down Mahoning Avenue, boutique businesses market today’s fixes. For more than a century, crime bosses operating from Pittsburgh have controlled politicians, police, and gambling in the Mahoning Valley.
In a struggling economy, lucrative drug, trafficking, and extortion operations have siphoned money from resigned taxpayers, while creating ever-larger circles of dependency. Over the past 20 years, community push-back has taken hold. More than 70 mobsters and politicians have been convicted of corruption. Like cockroaches inside the walls, invisible predators find new ways to rob others of food, comfort, and home.
We look for the GREENS. Walgreens, check! In the past 12 years, something has happened to the old green BP. It’s only a Shell of its former self. Green bus? Check!
Signs tell us we are on the FastTrac and closing in.
Some days, all you want is to pull up, lift a piece of metal, and find a smile.
Night closes in on Youngstown. Gratitude and respect to all who fight the good fight here.
OH Love Of Geocaching
