How do you know when your hometown is dying?
Is it when the last large manufacturing plant closes?
Is it when there a lot of vacancies in the strip malls?
Is when there is an outcry that local government costs too much?
Is when branch libraries are closed for lack of funds?
Is it when Wal-Mart becomes one of the top local employers?
Is it when a sizable number of the students at the community college are unemployed re-trainees?
No. It is when you drive by the community pool that has been in operation for a life time and you realize that the community doesn’t have the resources to open.
