Nice.  Ft. Wayne is like a number of towns whose economies are all based
around one major industry, like LaPorte and the Allis-Chalmers plant or the
book publisher, or any number of communities up along the lake who are all
based around servicing the big steel mills.  When the anchor industry dies,
all of the support industries are left with nothing to support, so
unemployment becomes a domino effect.
