News, Ariz. undertaker seeks to revive dying Kan. town. (Preston: homes, high school)

[John1960]

PRESTON, Kan. (AP) - Like hundreds of small towns across rural America, Preston has boarded-up storefronts lining its Main Street. The roof has fallen in at the long-abandoned high school, while peeling paint and broken windows disfigure once stately, now vacant homes. This central Kansas farming town of 170 people is dying—and an Arizona undertaker has a plan to bring it back to life.

Ariz. undertaker seeks to revive dying Kan. town

They can try to revive some of those towns, but most are far too isolated to appeal to very many people at all.

I agree with GraniteStater and add that Kansas is full of such towns and the only thing that can truly revive them would be industry and manufacturing which we all know has moved to China - thus, expect more dying cities across the US.
