Why Westside Bowl Keeps
Pulling Youngstown Back 🎳

There's something almost magnetic about Westside Bowl. What started as a humble bowling alley on Youngstown's west side quietly evolved into the spot — the one you keep coming back to, on purpose.

The lanes are still there. But so is a stage that's hosted acts you'd brag about seeing. So is pizza that hits different at midnight. So is a crowd that somehow includes your little cousin, your coworker, and that artist you follow on Instagram — all in the same room.

That's the magic. Westside Bowl doesn't try to be everything. It just... is.

It's neon and nostalgia. It's a $5 game next to a legitimate live music experience. It's the arts crowd rubbing elbows with old-school locals who've been coming here since it opened. It's proof that Youngstown's creative energy never left — it just needed a home.

No corporate polish. No manufactured vibe. Just a building that said yes to the city when the city needed it most.

Youngstown has always had soul.
Westside Bowl is where that soul comes to life. 🎳🔥

Good Dog Roll Call:
MEET CAPONE, the MOST Good Boy

He showed up on December 4th — quiet, gentle, patient. No one came looking for him. Five months later, he's still there, still waiting, still being the absolute best boy he knows how to be.

Capone is a middle-aged pit mix with a leash that he walks like a gentleman, a heart full of love for people, and a talent for keeping you company that most humans can't compete with. He's the nap buddy, the loyal shadow, the "I'm just happy to be near you" kind of dog.

He has sad eyes. He's a little timid. And he's black — which, unfairly, makes him nearly invisible in shelters.

Black dogs get overlooked. They wait longer. They deserve better. Capone deserves so much better.

He needs somewhere quiet. Somewhere soft. Someone who wants a gentle, loving companion who will be grateful every single day. No cats please — but endless couch time? Absolutely.

If this boy is speaking to your soul right now, listen to that.

RECLAIM YOUR WEEKENDS

When the weekend is packed, the house does not have to be one more thing

Warm weather in Youngstown means everything starts happening at once. Sports, graduation parties, cookouts, Mother’s Day leftovers, open houses, yard work, errands, and somehow the house still needs cleaned.

That’s where All Spruced Up Cleaning Co comes in.

Paige and her team help busy families and homeowners keep their homes feeling clean, calm, and handled without having to spend the whole weekend catching up. They offer professional residential and commercial cleaning across the Mahoning Valley, with a focus on consistency, discretion, and standards that do not slip.

And locals know this is the season when the house starts getting used differently. Doors are open. Kids are in and out. Guests stop by. The kitchen gets busy. The floors take a beating. A good cleaning service is not just about a pretty house. It is about getting some breathing room back.

If your weekends are already packed, let All Spruced Up take cleaning off your plate.

Call 330-397-2815 or visit https://www.allsprucedupcleaningco.com/

Health Corner: Skin Season is Here

Sunshine is here. So is skin season.

47 Tabs Open

The weekend is packed. Your brain still needs a break.

Youngstown has a lot happening this weekend, which is a good problem to have. But if your schedule has been full, your shoulders are tight, your scalp feels dry or heavy, and your brain has been running like a browser with 47 tabs open, it may be time for a different kind of reset.

Youngstown Head Spa is a luxury scalp and relaxation experience right here in Boardman.

The Signature Head Spa Experience includes scalp detox and exfoliation, stimulating massage, aromatherapy, warm steam therapy, and neck and shoulder tension relief. The experience is designed to support scalp health, circulation, relaxation, and that deep calm people are always looking for but rarely schedule. 

You do not have to leave Youngstown for a high-end, quiet, restorative experience. It is right here.

Swim. Bike. Run. Cheer.

A local race worth showing up for, even if you are not the one racing

The Spring Classic Sprint Triathlon is coming up, and this is one of those local events that deserves more attention.

The race is scheduled for Sunday, June 14 at 7:30 AM and includes a 500-yard pool swim, 14-mile bike ride, and 5K run. It is open to individuals and teams, and registration is limited to the first 135 athletes. 

This is a great first triathlon for someone who has been curious about trying one, but it is also a solid event for experienced athletes who want to compete close to home. And honestly, even if you are not racing, it is worth supporting. Local races bring people together, get people moving, and remind us that there are a lot of good, active things happening around here.

Steel Valley Triathlon Club also helps bring local triathletes together through training opportunities, social activities, and support of local races in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

🌷 The Spring Housing Market Is Moving — Are You?

Warm weather, open houses, and the homes people have been waiting to see

Sunshine does something to Youngstown. People get out, neighborhoods feel alive again, and all of a sudden, that “maybe someday” conversation about buying or selling a house gets a little more serious.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move this year, this is a smart time to start the conversation with Hailey Ditullio.

The market gets busy fast when the weather gets nice. Buyers are out looking. Sellers are cleaning up yards, opening windows, and getting homes ready to show. Around here, timing matters, and so does having someone who understands the local neighborhoods, the pace of the market, and what buyers are actually looking for.

Hailey can help you get clear on what your next move should look like, whether you’re buying your first home, selling, upgrading, downsizing, or just trying to figure out what your house may be worth.

Call Hailey Ditullio at 330-720-9153 or visit her Howard Hanna page here: https://www.howardhanna.com/Agent/Detail/Hailey-Ditullio/73040

1-800-Plumber

Nice weather is great. Plumbing problems are still not invited.

A warm, packed weekend in Youngstown is for patios, ball games, yard work, events, and maybe finally getting outside without three layers on.

It is not for dealing with a clogged drain, leaking water heater, backed-up toilet, or AC that decides to act up right when the house is full.

1-800-Plumber +Air of Youngstown handles plumbing, drain cleaning, water heaters, leaks, sewer services, heating, cooling, and emergency plumbing services. Their local Youngstown number is 330-597-0601. 

This is one of those numbers worth saving before you need it. Because nobody wants to be Googling plumbers while water is on the floor or the AC is struggling during a packed weekend.

Call 330-597-0601 or schedule service here: https://1800plumber.com/youngstown-oh/

Is Your Coverage Keeping
Up With Your Life?

Before life gets busy, make sure the
important stuff is covered

When the weather gets nice, people are out driving more, opening pools, getting boats and motorcycles ready, hosting family, working on houses, and making summer plans.

It is a good time to make sure your insurance still matches your actual life.

Moore Family Insurance in Canfield can help with auto, home, renters, motorcycle, business, life insurance, and more. They are a local Allstate agency located at 545 N Broad St in Canfield, and you can call them at 330-533-3555. 

This is not the most glamorous thing on the weekend list, we get it. But it is one of those adult things that matters when something goes sideways. Around here, between storms, potholes, deer, busy roads, home projects, and small businesses growing, it is worth having someone review your coverage before you need it.

Call Preston Moore and Moore Family Insurance at 330-533-3555 and ask for a coverage review.

The businesses winning in 2026 won’t be louder — they’ll be better positioned.
