The first helper(Mike Hubinsky)is my grandfather. He worked at U.S. Steel for about 50 years without ever missing a day! The hard work must have added length to his days because he lived to 93 years of age.
I am from yt . Born 1957 Remember sitting on the pourch during summer @ night and listening to the trains running and the sky would be orange when they poured the steel In the morning it smelled like sulfer.My dad came home black like soot. He showered in the basement and my mom had all his clean clothes laid out 0n a card table and he had two hampers one for his mill clothes then his street clothes my mom was the ultimate house wife .The house was always clean supper always on the table and she had so much pride in what she did.And she was always cheerful and if us kids got out of line she said in a nice way ok I'll let your dad know and that's all it took and we would be good. My dad was stern with us but never mean or abusive and all us kids adored him . What a great life we had growing up in youngstown. My uncle by marriage was a bus driver and would give us kids all bus passes he would by him self and we rode the bus all summer to anywhere we wanted to go well youngstown was a great place to grow up when the mills were still in business.
We must show this to our children. Only I can remember the old Youngstown. My kids only see whats happening today there. Show your kids! Wonderful Video.
I can't believe this was my hometown. The part about the mills being quiet, and streets empty hit me especially hard. That's how it is now. The city I saw in this video is totally different and indistinguishable from what is there now.
Fantastic video. I'm from Warren, age 36 so I missed the heyday of the Valley. Unfortunately, it's been nothing but rough times here, my whole life. Think about that.
Wow this was great to watch! Depressing too. I worked in Republic Steel's bar mill (on the hot bed--ouch!) right up until the mills shut down. Can't count how many times I walked across that bridge. Those were dirtier, harder and simpler times. Way better than now in many ways.
@marinegrunt76 This is the Campbell Works of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company. The blast furnaces and open hearth furnaces are now a flat brownfield site.
GREAT VIDEO IT TALKS ABOUT EARLY YOUNGSTOWN . WHEN TIME ALLOWS CHECKOUT WE ARE YOUNGSTOWN ANOTHER MADE IN YOUNGSTOWN FILM AS SEEN ALSO ON RUclips . THANKS
you're absolutely right, god damn those workers for wanting fair wages. I completely support those in charge wanting to make more of a profit sending their companies to less developed parts of the world to get cheaper labor. They have every right to.
@marinegrunt76 two miles East of nowhere. If you find the market street bridge, there will be an office building there for Republic steel. Go in tell 'em who you are, then tell 'em who you want to be. That cant get enough people for the all the jobs.
Wilson and South are both gone. No more stell valley football cause there aint no more steel valley cause there aint no more steel. Last guy out shut off the lights!
I agree. Greed is the reason we are in the recession now. I'm still working, thank God, but I'm going to college part time. I don't see a good future for blue collar workers so I'm going into the medical field. I'll hit my 25th aniversary at work and my 50th birthday before I graduate.
As if that was the only problem -- how about lack of modernization of the plants in face of more efficient European and japanese mills? How about unions so intractable that they did nothing to save their jobs until it was too late? Food for thought my friend -- MANY things contributed...
The steel industry was top heavy with workers retirement and health benefits. Large numbers of workers were retiring as the cheaper imported steel started coming in. The companies did not have the money to modernize and e more efficient. Perfect storm hit the steel industry in the 70's and 80's. Same thing happened to the textile industry.
Unlike Obama, Reagan did not lift a finger to help a beleaguered industry -- in Reagan's case, steel. The Rust Belt is still struggling from the effects of steel practically dying 20 years ago. Reagan had to run out a side door of a Pittsburgh hotel when he heard union steelworkers were planning a demonstration.
I grew-up near Youngstown. My granddad, father and brother worked in the mills. The air smelled of sulfur & smoke clouded the sky, but it meant JOBS! In the 50's & 60's life was good. Now it's all gone. The 2nd largest steel producing city in the U.S. makes no more steel. The mills--dynamited. I moved away, My brother moved away. Mom and dad moved near my brother. All my relatives in Y-town are in cemeteries now. I visited Youngstown for the 1st time in 25 years last November. Sad place now.
ISN'T THIS JUST PART OF THE WHOLE STORY OF CAPITALISM AND HOW IT WORKS, OR MORE RECENTLY, HOW IT DOESN'T? THE WHOLE THING SPINS AROUND MONEY AND GREED. IF IT'S CHEAPER TO MAKE STEEL IN ASIA THEN THATS WHERE IT'LL BE MADE. THE TRANSITION OF MOVING HEAVY INDUSTRY TO DEVELOPING ECONOMIES TAKES A FEW YEARS OR MAYBE EVEN A GENERATION BUT GREED AND PROFIT WILL MAKE SURE IT BECOMES A REALITY.
@marinegrunt76 Really?? If you worked in steel, you'd see almost every sheet is stamped "port of los angles" ... Meaning it was IMPORTED from other nations.

Youngstown born, Struthers home until age 8. The mill was within walking distance, the sound of trains and mill a constant.

Wonderful, inspiring, and chilling... all at once. Thanks for sharing

This was awesome.Greatly admire the men ,who helped make the valley what it became.
What amazing country we had once. Now look at us. So sad.
Do you have the film of the building of Bethleham steel in Indiana ?
So clean, so prosperous, so white.
wonder for what audience this film was made? who was it shown to?
my dad and grandfather worked there

@marinegrunt76 All gone...there is nothing left. Just an open field and a few old buildings.
@LuvsIdol
A lack of jobs in Youngstown/Warren in the early 60's????
@marinegrunt76 two miles East of nowhere. If you find the market street bridge, there will be an office building there for Republic steel. Go in tell 'em who you are, then tell 'em who you want to be. That cant get enough people for the all the jobs.
amen to that!!
Was he the guy that taught flutophone classes to all the 4th grade parochial kids in Y-town?
Wilson and South are both gone. No more stell valley football cause there aint no more steel valley cause there aint no more steel. Last guy out shut off the lights!

over-regulations, taxes, and the unions picked at what was left. God Bless the men, (and women) that worked in these places.

It always amazes me how segregated these videos are.
🤣 maybe some people didn't want to work
