Local leaders got to see the progress of The Ohio Army
National Guard’s project to rid Youngstown of its blighted properties.

Helping to tear down about 28 vacant houses in Youngstown as
a member of the 1192nd Engineer Co. in Ravenna is a particular source of pride
for Pfc. Thomas Pepe. Pepe, of Mineral Ridge, used to live in Youngstown.

The sound of glass breaking and lumber snapping filled the
air on Hudson Avenue Monday as one after another abandoned house was razed.
