Youngstown, spring or fall?
 

Hi, <BR> <BR>We're planning a trip to Youngstown, Ohio, and were wondering what time of year is best. We've gotten a lot of good advice from friends about restaurants, places to stay, things to see, but naturally any contribution on those scores would be very welcome. Would anyone recommend side trips to Warren or Akron. We have a couple of extra days at the end of our stay and are planning a day trip or two. Is Cleveland too far for one day? Thanks for all contributions. <BR> <BR>Mark

are you serious????

are you serious????

Hi Selena, <BR> <BR>Thanks so much for responding. The plans are well underway. We've decided to go later this year (the fall), so the question spring or fall? has been answered. We're hoping to catch some nice foliage, take in a horse show or two, spend time just strolling through town. For trips, we're heading east to Pennsylvania (instead of Cleveland). There's nice hill country there and I guess Pittsburgh is just 60 miles away. Has anyone been to the Flashdance museum? Mark

Have been watching this post for answers <BR>and can't figure out Selena's -- <BR>inside joke? No matter where you travel, you can always find something <BR>interesting to do. Pittsburgh is an <BR>interesting city and I think you would <BR>enjoy it - be sure to ride the incline <BR>up to Mount Washington and the wonderful <BR>view of the city. Cleveland is only an <BR>hour away from Youngstown and you can visit the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, the <BR>Great Lakes Science Center, and enjoy the Flats area and its entertainment. Akron has Inventure Place and is an interesting visit for interactive displays. Sharon, PA isn't that far from Youngstown where they have the largest <BR>shoe store in the U.S. You'll be amazed <BR>at having to wait for a clerk the place is so crowded and at the selection they offer. Eat lunch at Quaker Steak & Lube there - fun eating! If nothing else, you will enjoy the fall foliage on the <BR>PA hillsides on your ride from Youngstown to Pittsburgh <BR> <BR>

Thanks Sue for the helpful suggestions. You sound very familiar with the area. We'll check it out. <BR> <BR>Mark
