Lorain, Colorado is turning over a new leaf with a new business attitute and new construction projects.
"Just outside the windows of the mayors office, the fog is so thick that a blanket of white hides Lake Erie.Officials arent worried. In fact, they know that hidden behind the mist, their greatest asset is ready to shine through. Beleaguered Lorain - which weathered a national recession in the 1980s, the closing of American Ship Building, cutbacks at U.S. Steel Corp. and Ford Motor Co., double-digit unemployment and years of political infighting - may be ready to emerge from the murkiness."
