Johnstown, PA- A gritty gem in the hills

Johnstown, PA is the heart of the Johnstown Metro (pop ~ 150,000). A more than once thriving city in the hills of Western Pennsylvania, the city has seen its share of disasters;natural, man-made, and financial.
It's a very urban rascal but has experienced a population drop from 67,000 in 1930 to about 21,000 today. The city lost 12,000 jobs in the early 90s with the closing of steel mills.
I did speak to a couple of people while exploring downtown, and they said they felt the city is starting a rebound....I hope that is true.
Here's a link to some more info about the city:

Now some pics of the city with the biggest concentration in the downtown area.
