Steubenville: Dean Martin Mecca (CBS News)

From CBS Sunday Morning:

Steubenville: Dean Martin Mecca - Town Revels In Being The Birthplace Of Legendary Crooner And Rat-Packer

(CBS) Steubenville, Ohio is dwindling, from losses of population, steel industry jobs, and even its title of "sin city" is gone.

But there's one thing no one can ever take away: Steubenville is — and always will be — the proud birthplace of the late, great Dean Martin, or Dino Crochetti, as he was known here. It's one thing they can and do celebrate at the annual Dean Martin festival. People come from all over the world to pay homage to the entertainment legend.
