I graduated in '64, and left for work out of state in '68.
It saddens me to see the decline downtown, and read about all the crime.
On some websites folks say the city was better when the mob was around.

I keep meaning to buy the book “Little Chicago: A History of Organized Crime in New Kensington, Pennsylvania”.
