I knew that Youngstown was suffering a population (loss) crisis of sorts, but I never expected the city to go to such unusual lengths to remedy the problem.
Yesterday, we drove to Youngstown, and, as we crossed the city limits, we were confronted with a billboard bearing the following public service message and implicit instructions:
"Every girl needs a leading man. Have you been a father today?"
I had to admit I hadn't done my part. Then again, I don't live in Youngstown anymore.

Nice mood--perfect for the Y. Maybe you'll get your chance to be more family friendly in a Rust Belt town sometime real soon. I guess states find different ways to be family friendly: the South is known for its low limits, and I guess the Middle West wants to become known for its billboards. To each his own, but family first. Battle cry of '08?

That seems like an illegitimate question to me.
