[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Van wert is a fairly large, prosperous place by small-town standards. It has
about 11,000 people and it?s a manufacturing center. The small towns around
here that have remained healthy have mostly been ones like Van Wert that
have a lot of manufacturing jobs and a decent sized population. The really
small ones with a few thousand or fewer people tend to have no jobs paying
living wages, so people have to leave to survive.

I am so glad to see an intact well maintained building in your series.
Sometimes your images do all to much to reinforce the term "rustbelt".
We
drive about once a year through Indiana to visit nieces in Indianapolis
and
Chicago frequently taking the state roads. While the smaller farm towns
are visibly reduced due to get people needed to farm and resulting fewer
jobs for all the support businesses some towns are dying pretty well due
to
location or circumstance.
