>Elegy  - James Howard Kunstler - 
Last fall while returning to the Midwest for my 50th class reunion, I also revisited that same area where I grew up during the 1950s and early 60s. I remembered that this was once a thriving industrial powerhouse whose mills and refineries provided tens of thousands of living wage jobs. It was never a scenic paradise but I remember it as a colorful fabric of Poles, Hungarians, Serbs and Croats who enjoyed full employment and a rising standard of living. Gary and Hammond were vibrant retail centers. Now it is an area on life support. Gary is truly a place where you want to floor the accelerator and flee in shrieking horror. The collapsed Cline Street overpass is a perfect metaphor for a broken economy. Believe me, the 50s when we had low inflation and unemployment was a better time and a better place.
