Any appraisers on the Forum from Weirton, where I grew up?
Last time I was home it was pretty gruesome though my mom says that town is booming with new restaurants and--primarily--gamblin' joints.
I remember as a kid a long long time ago seeing the wall length chalkboards with betting lines, in the joints up and down main street, just outside the steel mill gates.
The air was heavy with smoke and the sidewalks needed to be swept free of graphite that accumulated overnight, but work was plentiful and the beer was cold....
What went wrong? Was the demise inevitable? Can the downturn be rectified?
