Mr. Ollivander: Hi,

It appears your cache is missing or in need of maintenance.

As the owner, it is your responsibility to check on your cache and make sure it is in place. You have three options. You can 1) confirm the cache is in place and enable the cache, which lets people know that it is already in place, 2) fix the problem, then enable the cache, or 3) archive the listing. I am disabling this listing to give you the opportunity to check and if necessary repair your cache.

If there has been no change or a reviewer note log type explaining what is going on in about 30 days, I will archive this for you.

I look forward to hearing from you. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you post your log.

Regards,

Nebo is a neighborhood located in the Struthers area of Youngstown. It is also known as Mount Nebo, includes a gorge named Nebo Hollow, once had a scouting camp titled Camp Nebo, and still contains a park called Nebo Field.
The name of this neighborhood comes from the Slavic immigrants who settled here and saw it as a "Promised Land." They named it after the Mount Nebo of the Old Testament where Moses saw the Promised Land. This neighborhood is noted for the pride in which it is held by its residents. While some Struthers neighborhoods...are forgotten, Nebo retains its identity decade after decade.
Geographically, the borders of this neighborhood include Yellow Creek to the west, Lowellville Road to the north, Narcissa Street to the east, and possibly Clingan Road to the south. The creek that runs through Nebo Hollow is named Panther Creek today, but was once called Panthers' Run. According to legend, this creek was so named because a man killed three panthers here.

The Mount Nebo Mine is an abandoned coal mine located in this neighborhood. It was in operation as far back as 1828, may have been opened by Elijah Stevenson, and at one time was operated by Henry Wick. It was abandoned after it collapsed due to "seepage from a creek above the shaft." Much of its coal was used in the Lowellville Furnance, built by Wilkes, Wilkinson & Co. of Pittsburgh, in Lowellville. According to various resources, this furnace has been given a variety of names: Anna, Mahoning, and Mary. Nebo was also known for the mining of limestone. In fact, "The first curbs [of Struthers] were made from limestone mined in Nebo, near Perry and Katherine Streets."
Nebo's history has ties to areas outside of Ohio. Along with being founded by Slavic immigrants, it was owned at one time by James Stevenson, whose family was prominent in Lawrence County, PA. Plus, Mount Nebo Mine was once owned by John Scott Dilworth, a prominent business figure from Pittsbugh, PA.
