During WWII.
Dad's Photography Studio, which was nothing, became a gold mine. And so did every other business in town. There were plenty of jobs for everyone.
This booming economy continued for twenty years, while people spent the money they were forced to save during the war.
When that money was gone, in the Fifties, America stopped growing. And was forced to accept a steady-state economy, which was more difficult.
Anyone who wanted to survive left their hometown. and never came back.
