    Braddock, Pennsylvania, with a population hovering just over 2,000 as of the 2010 census, is an industrial steel town that sits right on the edge of the Monongahela River just outside of Pittsburg. Home of Andrew Carnegie's first mill, as well as the first Carnegie library, the town was a bustling city of 18,000, but now stands mostly abandoned as a shell of its former self. However, instead of allowing the decline to continue, mayor John Fetterman and the residents of Braddock are working hard to rebuild this once great city through urban renewal, community programs, and a fostering for the arts.

    *Tangier Island, Virginia, is a small fishing town of 507 people with their own one-of-a-kind accent, customs and way of life. A local Tangerian man was looking to build a new home on his plot of land, and needed to push the trailer that currently occupied the spot to the back of his property to make room. Armed with only some plywood, a few long posts, a bulldozer, and at least 60 or so resident volunteers, they were able to help the man out. Continually increasing government taxes and regulation of small-scale commercial fishing in favor of leisure sport fishing, coupled with serious erosion problems threaten the way of life and survival of the island.* *Photo: [David Walter Banks](www.davidwalterbanks.com)*
