The Amazing Rebound Of Winslow, Ariz.
Winslow was on the verge of death when local boosters restored the town's hotel, and started a chain reaction that revitalized the city.
"[Winslow, Ariz.] was dead. Stores were boarded up, residents were fleeing, downtown was nothing but weeds and ghosts. You could eat your lunch in the middle of the main street, the mayor says, without fear of being run over. Then, 10 years ago, something happened. Winslow set out to save its one great building a 1930s hotel where movie stars and American icons once stayed and the building wound up saving Winslow."
