what about places like Odessa, TX (you know the place that inspired "Friday Night Lights" the book, which became a movie and then a tv series) with it's closed coal-mine industry or parts of Ohio, western PA and MI?? Those aren't NE locations but they have similar stories to tell. I'm sure there are even more if I just google it but I think 3 are good indicators that it has happened in other places besides the Northeast.
