[Leica] Pizzeria in Van Wert, Ohio

[Christopher Crawford]

Van wert is a fairly large, prosperous place by small-town standards. It has about 11,000 people and it’s a manufacturing center. The small towns around here that have remained healthy have mostly been ones like Van Wert that have a lot of manufacturing jobs and a decent sized population. The really small ones with a few thousand or fewer people tend to have no jobs paying living wages, so people have to leave to survive.

    I am so glad to see an intact well maintained building in your series.
     Sometimes your images do all to much to reinforce the term "rustbelt".  We
    drive about once a year through Indiana to visit nieces in Indianapolis and
    Chicago frequently taking the state roads.   While the smaller farm towns
    are visibly reduced due to get people needed to farm and resulting fewer
    jobs for all the support businesses some towns are dying pretty well due to
    location or circumstance.
