Carolers serenade North Side residents

YOUNGSTOWN — Favorite Christmas carol?

Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas,” said Patrolman Tony Tulipano, no hesitation.

He answered while Patrolman Rick Baldwin pondered the question and then chose Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas.”

Patrolman Jim Welch’s quick pick was “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” no specific singer.

The survey was taken while the city officers waited for Christmas carolers to gather tonight in the Antioch Baptist Church parking lot on Funston Street. They acted as escorts for the small group of singers.

Santa (played by outgoing Councilman Richard Atkinson, R-3rd) showed up with a basket of candy canes to distribute. Rick George, associate director for Youngstown State University Center for Human Services Development, carried and shook a festive red and green tambourine.
