The Silicon Valley of Death

Check out this awesome NPR piece about Youngstown's business incubator. Apparently we're the "Silicon Valley of the Rustbelt"?

What's funny, though, is that the president of the incubator is somehow trying to tempt successful people who left Youngstown back to the area. "We’re going to be working very hard to get them all to move 'home'," he said. And I thought, gee, it'll take more than a few successful businesses to get me to move back here for real. It might take less small-mindedness and more diversity. It might take a better outlook for my career niche and better schools for my future son or daughter. And maybe, it'd take a decent Thai restaurant.
