The new MWGT podcast episode drops today at 1:00 p.m. - "The Fountain House" - which also covers "Magnetic Park" which sat adjacent. It's a fascinating history in Cherokee, Iowa - later abandoned. Below is a picture of the race track and grandstands - (around 1880).
Here @debworks - take a look. I study Ghost Towns - and tell their story. But, there is more- the underlying story of community development - "thousands of U.S. Cities COULD become Ghost Towns" - maybe not YOURS - if you're willing to write a different story. #saveyourtown
Diving into the history of Magnetic Springs Park and "The Fountain House" in Cherokee, Iowa - once a booming resort and spa in the late 1800s - abandoned and gone today! More on Thursday - MWGT (Pic below of the old entry way to the Fountain House.)
Interesting perspective on Ghost-Town-OLOGY - & the connection to economic development- You know? That feeling? Whether you FEEL a town is where you want to plant your feet, work, grow, raise a family, build a business...Boom or Bust.
