Reply #59: small town OK here...

[lmbradford]

This little town used to be booming with business and growing. Now there are two businesses left. The bar and the non=profit community theater. There is no housing for anyone who would like to stay here. The population consists of elderly and very, very poor. Mostly because they can rent or still own the houses that were built in the 1940's. They are dilapidated now, but at least they can afford them. It is really sad. Everyone here drives 25 miles to the nearest town to work for little more than minimum wage. The good jobs are very hard to get and they have been held by the same people for thirty or forty years. There is no way that those people give up their jobs even when they hate it.

That is life in small town OK......
