Underneath the steel city skyline of Youngstown, echoes of vanished grandeur and silent uprisings hide in plain sight.

Trace a self-guided audio path through Downtown where hidden stories wait behind every stone and marquee. Peer into the Covelli Centre’s transformation, witness the solemn strength of St. Columba Cathedral, and stand in the ghost-light glow of the Liberty/Paramount Theatre. Find the tales most travelers walk past and uncover what lies beneath the city’s modern pulse.

What vicious power struggle forced an entire arena to rise where factories once thundered? Who carved secret messages into the cathedral’s ancient stones and why are they still unsolved? And why did a faded playbill trigger a scandal that nearly broke the city’s spirit?

Move through shadows and sunlight, history and headlines, as each step reveals Youngstown’s raw drama and resilience.

Start the journey and unlock the force and secrets lying at the city’s heart.
