I don't understand your article. Emporia is a dying town and this might just be the final blow. The effects of the layoff will hurt everyone in town from the students in school to our senior citizens. Emporia is not the town that I grew up in. It's old, run down and in ruins.
As the previous poster stated, Emporia will be nothing more than a ghost town - look at the downtown area already. When I was growing up that was the hub of the city with RedX, Newmans and all the other stores.
The only way I was going to survive after attending ESU was to move on - it's just a matter of time before many more people do the same. It’s not just one sad day for Emporia, but many, many more to come.
