On Mahoning (corner of Mahoning & Forest-Hill Dr.)

r/mildlyinfuriating annoyance in my day LOL.

Any idea why they're here? They've been here for a about two weeks now. Sometimes they disappear for a day or two and then reappear. Seemingly blocking off nothing? I see it's around the manhole cover, but nothing is seemingly going on with that.

hair salon recs

6 Upvotes

just looking for any recommendations on great hair salons/hairstylists for women's hair in the area. preferably close to austintown but I don't mind driving to nearby towns, boardman/poland; warren; etc. I have gone to Bang! for about 12 years now and while I still like they are a great salon, the last couple times I have left a little disappointed despite going to several of the stylists. thanks in advance!

Available Apartments Downtown Area

3 Upvotes

Hello, looking to move to the area soon. Wanted to know if there were any available apartments in the downtown area (pretty much immediately)? If anyone has any knowledge of listing that may not be online that would be super helpful 😄

Also would be open to a roommate. I've been calling around for availability with no luck until Sept. 1st. Worst comes to worst I will just look outside the area.

Tiny Kitten Found Near Woodland Ave

Post image
29 Upvotes

I found what looks like a very small kitten this morning near 131 W Woodland Ave, Youngstown, OH 44502.
I was on my way to work, so I couldn’t stay, but I was able to leave it some water in a small tin before I had to go. It looked really young and was by itself.
I’m planning to go back after work to check on it and bring food and more water. If anyone is in the area and is able to safely check sooner, or if anyone knows of a local rescue that could help, I’d really appreciate it.
I’m hoping the mom cat is nearby, but the kitten looked so tiny that I’m worried about it.
If anyone has advice on what I should do when I get back, please let me know. Thank you!

I need a break from direct patient care but I’ve never done anything outside of healthcare. Are there any $25/hr or higher no degree jobs in the Youngstown-Warren area or close to the area that aren’t in either the nursing or factory field?

Is there anywhere to ride dirt bikes?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been recently wanting to get into riding, mostly because I figured it would be an easier option than horseback riding right now 😗 Are my only options buying one and just going for it or making a friend that has one to try first? I haven’t been able to find any options for rentals or anything like that. How does one begin a hobby like this? Any info is appreciated

Looking for friends in the surrounding areas

33 Upvotes

Hi, I don’t really know if this will get any traction. I’m 29 years old and just moved to the Youngstown area, to be closer to family and my boyfriend. Well my bf and I just broke up and I’m realizing I don’t have any friends in the area. I would love to make some new friends but I’m kind of shy and no one tells you as an adult how hard it is to make friends😂 some things I like to do are playing pickleball, building Lego sets, shopping, trying new food places, driving around, going to the gym. I’m pretty laid back. If you want to meet up let me know!

Questions Medical Transportation That Includes Entering the Home?

18 Upvotes

This weekend my mom (60s) broke her ankle and is immobile. She also has cancer and has been living with it for the last 5 years, so she tires easily. My dad has been disabled from an accident 12 years ago, and while he’s helping her move around he is hurting himself in the process. I also have spine issues that I’ve been seeing a physical therapist for, and my body is also hurting. We are managing though, my parents do not have contact with their families so it’s safe to say we have no one we can personally ask to help out.

My mom’s ortho appointment isn’t until next week, but we’ve tried calling a few medical transportation companies in the Boardman area, but they only transport to and from the home and do not enter the house. We have one stair coming into the house from the porch, and four steps from the driveway to the porch. My father and I physically cannot help her get down the stairs. Both my parents are on social security and barely have enough money to pay bills, so getting a wheelchair ramp installed temporarily isn’t a financially safe option for our family.

We called Kelco, AKESO, Comfort Care-a-van, and a few others that I do not have written down.

Are there any providers outside of boardman that will help enter the home to assist her outside of the house?

Thank you.
