YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Underneath the Meander Creek Reservoir are plots of land where farms once thrived, roads crisscrossed, gristmills processed grain, sawmills cut lumber and miners dug coal banks: a small but vibrant community known as Ohltown. We learn about its history in “What’s in a Name?”

Plus, Youngstown’s Design Review Committee delayed action Tuesday on a proposed cigar shop and event center on the East End, citing design and zoning concerns.

And the Youngstown Playhouse opens “Almost, Maine” this weekend with a fresh interpretation aimed at adding depth and realism to the popular romantic comedy.
