Atlantic, Iowa, is about 40 miles west of Des Moines and ten miles south of I-80. I wish I could bring the borough council of Lehighton here to see it. The park is spotless, and a farmers’ market is held there every Thursday morning. The downtown movie theater is showing “Cruella” and “A Quiet Place, II”. There are two Mexican restaurants (at least one of them excellent), two Chinese restaurants, and a number of other diners and restaurants. The sidewalks are not cracked and buckled. There is one empty building, in good shape, with a sign “This is not an empty building; it is full of opportunities.” This is how a small town should look.
