My home town has made the National News several times, not for good reasons though.
There is a copper mine there which had huge lay offs in the 70’s to keep it viable.
The mine closed in 1994 and reopened in 1996 under new ownership.
The mine was the only major employer in the town so people started to move away. Businesses suffered and many closed down.
Three deaths at the mine inside three weeks saw the mine close again in 2014.
It is yet to reopen, if it ever will.
