I Will Shout Youngstown Shares a New Perspective

I Will Shout Youngstown has a great new post up with a potential advertising strategy for Youngstown (and many other Rust Belt cities). Youngstown: A Great Place to Fail articulates an old philosophy in a new way. Everybody in the Rust Belt talks about how these cities allow young people greater opportunities (e.g., lower start-up costs, greater access to space, established leaders and enthusiasm, if not capital) than strong-market cities. I Will Shout Youngstown, though, points out that it's also easier to fail in these cities. In the Midwest right now, an individual can try out lots of ideas and fail at all of them, and still be fine; as I Will Shout Youngstown says, "you'll be poorer, but not destitute." If you succeed, though, the profits you collect will go farther than they would elsewhere.
