Not all small towns are ghostly relics; some, like Bremer in the Northwest wheat belt, are lively places, successfully negotiating the problems between the past, present, and future. Allen and Dillman explore Bremer's inner workings - from businesses to schools, the town council to the churches, the resident doctor to the annual county fair - giving us an insider's look at how this vibrant community has managed to survive. Focusing on community, the authors offer a model for understanding how this town has made it and how others like it can, too.
