There wasn't enough material and things were bogged down by the tone of the demise of old downtowns, passenger railroads, small town life, and the changing character of people. But this is a great story that talks about what a small town did for all the military troops that were moved through it on the rails to make them feel appreciated and cared for. Selfless. Inspiring. Wow. <br/> <br/><a href="/search/search?q=+Once+upon+a+town&t=title"> Once upon a town</a> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/174306?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
