It has ticked me off to no end that the media has focused for the last year on Elkhart, IN as the typical example of how the recession has hit middle America.
From Wikipedia:
“Due to the high concentration of the RV industry in the area, Elkhart is dubbed the “RV Capital of the World.”[12] The city is also home to some small and large shops which support the RV (Recreational Vehicle) industry as well as construction.”
Of course the recession would hit the RV industry the hardest! RVs are the epitomy of an expense that households can eliminate without pain!
