Death of a Small Town

摘要

Even the mayor is moving on in Bisbe North Dakota, the next 'rural ghetto' victim Bob weltin, a burly and bearded North Dakota homeboy with the oil-stained hands of a working man, squeezed tight on a cup of coffee in the Chocolate Shop on Main Street in tiny Bisbee, N.D. So much in his life has been slipping away. Weltin, 43, is the mayor ofBisbee, a town that gave him his childhood: movies at Pettsinger's Theater, root-beer floats at Brannon's Drug and Soda Fountain, groceries at Dick's Red Owl. All that is gone now.
