(19,087 posts)I used to go up there from the Youngstown area every week to party and catch bands. One of the most endearing sights is heading West on 480 when the distant skyline suddenly appears between the trees on the right.
I've never been lost there or felt unsafe. The city is laid out in a grid, unlike many older cities where hilly terrain requires winding one-way roads that defy logic to get to point B.
If you get out for a night, W4th Street in the old Warehouse District is pretty happenin'. Easy parking and everything's a walk away. The House Of Blues is there and it's only a short distance from where you are. It should be exempt from traffic restrictions.
Myself, I always loved Wilberts by the Gund. If you find yourself near there you may want to pop in and sample some Tex-Mex and roots rock and blues:
