Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Shiela Branson offers a glimpse into the busier-than-you'd-expect life of the small communities within North Dakota's Wells County. From a Harvest Bee to help friends and neighbors, to the poignant Last Homecoming the year before the local team is absorbed into that of a larger school, to accolades for winning readers, to ... well ... life in general for the area ... this collection of newspaper feature articles (with a few additions) introduces you to life in Small Town USA. Many of these families stem from homesteading pioneers from 'The Old Country', be it Germany, Norway, or Germans from Russia, as well as 'Back East'. Today's population reflects the values they grew up with: hard work, good food, steadfast loyalty, and a sense of humor. Reading this collection of stories, you will meet a group of the most incredible people in the world - although they don't view themselves that way ... they just do what they do. BUT - these farmers and ranchers and town people play a big part in feeding the world; in the process they take care of each other. 'That's just the way it is - it's just the way we are, the way our parents and grandparents did things.' The world changes and Wells County appreciates the value of electronics, of advances in all areas - but somehow the people in these pages have not lost the best of the old ways. Come, meet the friends and neighbors who live in Wells County, North Dakota. Dedicated to Charles Eldredge, long-time editor and publisher, this book presents a good look at Small Town USA, the small towns he spent his life helping via the local newspaper. A feature writer for this small newspaper, Shiela Branson found the stories of many of the people of this area both heart-rending and inspirational. Whether in tears or in laughter, these people tend to share their lives and help one another through. Generations pass, people move on, but tradition lives on, waiting for visits from those who have moved away - waiting as well for visits from those who might be interested in what Small Town USA is really all about. So if ever you're in the area, stop by ... have a cup of coffee, strike up a conversation ... I bet you'll like what you find.

Download or read book Small Town U.S.A. written by Debra Guiou Stufflebean and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-18 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small Town USA engages readers immediately with the history of Buffalo, Kansas, a town created at the start of the Civil War within the Kansas Territory amid the Osage Indians, and covers the span of 100 years. Profiles of the founders provide insight about the pioneers and their families who settled in Buffalo valley among the buffalo. Told by two native descendants from Buffalo with memories, photographs, and stories, the reader experiences the culture of small town living, where the entire village raises the children and families are fiercely protective of one another. The culture of a small town is different; and each town is unique depending upon the characters that comprise that community. You will laugh out loud at the humor within these pages and you will cry tears over the bareness in which stories are told. Discover life lessons about living with, and accepting, others despite economic differences, physical and mental differences. There are no neighborhoods to self-isolate from others in a small town, rather the definition of "being normal" is broadened and accepted. The town will have difficulty economically thriving;the way families spend their home life and the importance of church at the center of the community will threaten their world as they know it. Beautifully illustrated by contrasting two families, the families of the women who wrote the book. Time passes through the 1950s and 1960s experiencing irrevocable change in technology and transportation. One woman stays in her small town and raises her family there; the other takes a road less traveled. Both journeys will cause you to ponder. The book would be a good format for other communities who wish to write about their history, the founders who formed the old guard, and a way to share from the collective memories of their town folk.

Download or read book American Hometown Renewal written by Gary Mattson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the interstates, Main Street America was the small town’s commercial spine and served as the linchpin for community social solidarity. Yet, during the past three decades, a series of economic downturns has left many of the great small cities barely viable. American Hometown Renewal is the first book to combine administrative, budgetary, and economic analysis to examine the economic and fiscal plight currently facing America’s small towns. Featuring a blend of theory, applications, and case studies, it provides a comprehensive, single-source textbook covering the key issues facing small town officials in today’s uncertain economy. Written by a former public manager, university professor, and consultant to numerous small towns in the Heartland, this book demonstrates the ways in which contemporary small towns throughout the nation are facing economic challenges brought about by the financial shocks that began in 2008. Each chapter explores a theme related to small town revival and provides a related tool or technique to enable small town officials to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Encouraging local small town officials to look at the economic orbit of communities in a similar manner as a town’s budget or a family’s personal wealth, examining its specific competitive advantages in terms of relative assets to those of competing communities, this book provides the reader with step-by-step instructions on how to conduct an asset inventory and apply key asset tools to devise a strategy for overcoming the challenges and constraints imposed upon spatially-fixed communities. American Hometown Renewal is an essential primer for students studying city management, economic community development, and city planning, and will be a trusted handbook for city managers, geographers, city planners, urban or rural sociologists, political scientists, and regional microeconomists.

Download or read book Main Street Revisited written by Richard V. Francaviglia and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an archetype for an entire class of places, Main Street has become one of America's most popular and idealized images. In Main Street Revisited, the first book to place the design of small downtowns in spatial and chronological context, Richard Francaviglia finds the sources of romanticized images of this archetype, including Walt Disney's Main Street USA, in towns as diverse as Marceline, Missouri, and Fort Collins, Colorado. Francaviglia interprets Main Street both as a real place and as an expression of collective assumptions, designs, and myths; his Main Streets are treasure troves of historic patterns. Using many historical and contemporary photographs and maps for his extensive fieldwork and research, he reveals a rich regional pattern of small-town development that serves as the basis for American community design. He underscores the significance of time in the development of Main Street's distinctive personality, focuses on the importance of space in the creation of place, and concentrates on popular images that have enshrined Main Street in the collective American consciousness.

Download or read book Murder Town, USA written by Yasser Arafat Payne and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far too many poor Black communities struggle with gun violence and homicide. The result has been the unnatural contortion of Black families and the inter-generational perpetuation of social chaos and untimely death. Young people are repeatedly ripped away from life by violence, while many men are locked away in prisons. In neighborhoods like those of Wilmington, Delaware, residents routinely face the pressures of violence, death, and incarceration. Murder Town, USA is thus a timely ethnography with an innovative structure: the authors helped organize fifteen residents formerly involved with the streets and/or the criminal justice system to document the relationship between structural opportunity and experiences with violence in Wilmington's Eastside and Southbridge neighborhoods. Earlier scholars offered rich cultural analysis of violence in low-income Black communities, and yet this literature has mostly conceptualized violence through frameworks of personal responsibility or individual accountability. And even if acknowledging the pressure of structural inequality, most earlier researchers describe violence as the ultimate result of some moral failing, a propensity for crime, and the notion of helplessness. Instead, in Murder Town USA, Payne, Hitchens, and Chamber, along with their collaborative team of street ethnographers, instead offer a radical re-conceptualization of violence in low-income Black communities by describing the penchant for violence and involvement in crime overall to be a logical, "resilient" response to the perverse context of structural inequality.

Download or read book River Town written by Bonnie Geisert and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1999-03-29 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, small towns sprouted up along the banks of America's rivers. Through a year of changing seasons the reader is transported to the days when people's livelihoods were directly connected to the river. The life of the townsfolk is shown to be an accumulation of events both large and small, from a joyous Halloween parade to the frozen river in winter to the threat of damaging springtime floods. Children and adults alike will pour over these pages of intricate etchings, noticing the changes and happenings of day-to-day, season-to-season life lived along a river. As they did in Prairie Town, the Geiserts have once again created a stunning tribute to small-town America as it once was and, to an extent, still remains today.

Book excerpt: Look at any list of America's top foodie cities and you probably won't find Boise, Idaho or Sitka, Alaska. Yet they are the new face of the food movement. Healthy, sustainable fare is changing communities across this country, revitalizing towns that have been ravaged by disappearing industries and decades of inequity. What sparked this revolution? To find out, Mark Winne traveled to seven cities not usually considered revolutionary. He broke bread with brew masters and city council members, farmers and philanthropists, toured start-up incubators and homeless shelters. What he discovered was remarkable, even inspiring. In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, once a company steel town, investment in the arts has created a robust new market for local restaurateurs. In Alexandria, Louisiana, "one-stop shopping" food banks help clients apply for health insurance along with SNAP benefits. In Jacksonville, Florida, aeroponics are bringing fresh produce to a food desert. Over the course of his travels, Winne experienced the power of individuals to transform food and the power of food to transform communities. The cities of Food Town, USA remind us that innovation is ripening all across the country, especially in the most unlikely places.
