WABASH, INDIANA --
Foundations and rubble remain at the site of the now-defunct GDX Automotive in Wabash, Ind., on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015. In 2007, one of the town's biggest employers -- GDX Automotive, which made sealing systems and glass encapsulation products for the auto industry -- closed, leaving hundreds of residents scrambling for work. Wabash, which currently has about 10,500 residents, is one of many small American towns trying to make a transition from an industrial past to a knowledge-based and creative economy.
