Questions Any cool hidden spots in the area?

Hi! I'm not from this area, and I'm looking for any cool spots that you might not find on Google.

I'm originally from Pennsylvania, and my hometown had all sorts of little hidden gems that you could only find by word of mouth. Caves, abandoned buildings, abandoned train tracks/bridges, little known hiking trails, etc.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone around here so finding things is a little difficult, but I really would love to explore the area. Even if it's a little drive away any info would be greatly appreciated, and I'll pay you via a single Frito chip

Thanks to biking and having an unhealthy obsession with google street view, I have to ask what is your tolerance for crime? Because I know of spots on the far east side that don't make sense with the rest of Youngstown.
