It is like a ghost town anymore.Indiana has some of those problems, too, though our governor likes to say we're better off than Illinois (I don't know how true that is, only having lived here a little over a year). But I know the situation in Missouri isn't much better, either. Fortunately, Dad retired from the auto business before things went down as far as they did - had he stayed, I'm not sure he'd have a job on the assembly line now
