SitemapMotorists might spot something new when driving down Glenwood Avenue on the city’s south side.
Two new larger-than-life murals are now on display. One, “Face the Future,” was painted on the old Park Inn building. The other, “Create a Better Tomorrow,” was painted on the LaFrance Cleaners building.
The idea was the brainchild of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation as a way to revitalize the city. The artists worked with local residents to develop the mural themes.

Funding for the murals came from a grant by the Ohio Capital Impact Corporation.
