Greetings from Trump's America: Tama County, Iowa, where illusion is used to attract new residents


Rural Iowa is shrinking. Why one tiny town is betting on a 'sinkhole' to save it.  (Des Moines Register, 7/5/2018)
If you squint just right, it seems that the public library, a women's boutique and a Methodist church are about to be sucked into the bottomless pit. Cars parked nearby look ready to roll back into the gap. 
But despite the dilapidation the illusion represents, in actuality, it's a step toward preservation for the community of just 1,300.
