Pleasant Grove and Brownlee Woods are two Youngstown city neighborhoods on the Southside that extend south into Boardman along Midlothian Blvd.

 

Midlothian Blvd. looking west from Brownlee Woods, Pleasant Grove is at the top of the hill.

Thanks!

Great housing and neighborhood! I was on South Avenue at I-680 only a month ago. I have a big weak spot for Youngstown and lots of memories.

Really nice. If pumpers get any bigger, they'll need a new fire station.

I can't believe how many utility poles there are on south avenue.  That street is pretty cool could be even better with underground utilities.  Plus, the picture of the tree-lined boulevard is great.

Thanks for the tour.  Living on the west side, and not having a car, I never get to go to the south side. (except South Ave.)

Is Station No. 9 on Midlothian? If so, I think it's next door to where my dad lived when he was born in 1928.

 

Yes. Are you talking about the building with bottom storefronts and apartments above?

It's been a few years, but, yes -- that sound like what I'm thinking of.

great pics. thanks alot. my mom's house used to be on bancroft ave. in brownlee woods. dads house was on east boston on south side by st. dom's.

youngstown will forever have a place in my heart gotta love it

Pleasant indeed!

this pictures are so spring.  I love to look at other peoples nice lawns and gardens but don't want one.

Really nice. If pumpers get any bigger, they'll need a new fire station.

Actually they do need a new station.  The living area and kitchen for the crew at that house is much too small (the kitchen must be about 6'x8') and the pumper is a very tight fit.  As much as I enjoy looking through all of the photos of cities and towns on this site what I mostly photograph is:

Youngstown is plagued with a major arson problem.  Lots of photos of burning houses in that town at this link: Y.F.D. - On the Job (from the Youngstown Fire web site).
