Everyone in Youngstown knows Bruce Springsteen's song about this city and its history. Listening to it, you can learn a lot about what kind of place the city once was, its importance to the United States in various wars we've fought. War is never something to brag about, but it's unfortunate when the rest of the country knows very little about a city that was once one of the main production centers to help establish and maintain the nation's defense and growth. What's sadder still is that, after the victories, the city's reward was abandonment by our country's industrial leaders. The "Jenny" Springsteen sings about in this song is in reference to the Jeanette Blast Furnace here in Youngstown, Ohio.
