Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America by James Fallows and Deborah Fallows

“Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America” provides important insights into the success of small cities and towns across America. The Fallows spent four years traveling, by small plane, across America visiting small cities and towns; 43 small cities. They not only visited but they engaged with each, meetings with business owners, school officials, elected and appointed public servants and anyone identified as a person who knew the town best. Their information is useful; and their insights are enlightening. They got to the heart of each town and found what made them places people loved, places people cared about.
