[QUOTE="donna723, post: 476024, member: 1883"] Things were really rough here for quite a while. This is such a small town and the one automotive parts factory where half the town worked closed down and sent all those good jobs to Mexico. For a while there, our unemployment rate was one of the highest in the whole [U]country[/U]! We have a little weekly county paper that lists all the cases that were held in General Sessions court the previous week and a very good economic indicator is how many people they have charged with writing bad checks! The worse things get, the more bad check cases there are! Things are looking up now though. With some government help, our downtown area has been spiffed up and several new businesses have opened. And a new company is re-opening the factory that was closed down and will provide several hundred new jobs. This is such a small place with very few resources. They did have the Angel Food Ministries but not any more and there are no food banks that I know of. What help is available is usually through the churches who have opened centers to distribute donated clothing and shoes to those that need them. [/QUOTE]
