Once upon a time there was a thriving city, good industry, pleasant people, well maintained houses, good public services etc.
then over a number of years through no fault of the good citizens of (insert name here) things started to decline, in fact it got so bad

corner, people turned on each other and the place became a ghost town, an employment blackspot.
