The article is pretty accurate picture of what it was like growing up. I feel like it is a sad story that is repeating itself around the nation as communities try to deal with the changing realities of the economy.

Sad stuff Rusty. Like you say, all too common and lots of small Oregon towns like this. Need some well heeled retirees to invest and build communities.
