STORY TIME: What happens when a small town goes downhill?

Have you ever invested in an area that went bad? Major employers leaving town, big layoffs, etc.

What happened to your rental properties? How did you react? Were you able to stay profitable? 

What is your advice to someone investing in a small town (pop. 35,000... okay, not THAT small) where a couple of large companies in the same industry provide the majority of middle-class jobs?
