Brownsville, Pennsylvania | What The Hell Happened?

Brownsville, PA...WOW! This is easily one of the hardest hit areas within the Rust Belt. Located 40 miles south of Pittsburgh, it really looks like time standing still from decades before. Abandoned homes, empty businesses, it certainly has that ghost town appeal. After the industrial era decline in the 1970's, Brownsville's economy collapsed and hasn't been able to recover since. Steel, railroad, and coal jobs were lost. Small businesses closed and banks shut their doors, people had to move elsewhere to find work. Will it ever find it's way back to recovery? I hope so. For now let's take a drive and check it out!
