I regret a lot of things I've done, you know.

I'm just basically trying to forget about all this stuff and live with life I have

enough as peaceably and humbly as I can.

I try to live a better life now, you know.

Play it forward and put good karma back in.

This is Warren.

Warren Willis Jr.

I grew up here when he saw the young son.

Shortly after I was born, my father came up here looking for work.

Fortunately, he found it here.

Somebody say, unfortunately, he, oh.

Warren's family moved to Youngstown in the early 70s.

When the steel mills were still open and the smogier was assigned to the city's prosperity.

Youngstown was driving.

Everybody was working.

Steel mills was booming.

You could see guys as young as 19, 20 driving brand new cars.

It was hard work, but they were doing pretty good.

People enjoyed life, you know.

Warren and his family started outliving in the housing projects on the east side.

I remember growing up when we were in the projects, we didn't lock our doors or nothing.

Back then, everybody looked out for each other.
