Alternately, you can reinvent your town and take some goddamn responsibility for yourself and the fact that the world changes. It always has, and always will. Like Branson, MO Like Tieton, WA Like Furnace Creek, CA Like Austin, fucking, Texas! There is a LONG list of towns that were dying out, took evasive action, and are now thriving destinations, and a much longer list of towns that are currently digging themselves out of dire straits. (Detroit, anyone?) It's funny how much you can see when you look around the eyepiece of your hyper-focused telescope.
