    In 2011, Chad Newbrough Steacy wrote his thesis, Discourse in the Abandoned Small Town: Toward a Critical Geography of Decline. The title must be Steacy’s best expression of his interpretation of the state of affairs in the small town of Sunbury, PA. Steacy elaborates in the heart of his thesis, “An indication of the economic change that has affected Sunbury is the large amount of abandoned industrial space woven into the town’s landscape.” (Steacy, 2011). Clearly, Steacy is writing about a place that has seen better days; a place where the economy has declined because of drooping industry.…

    Place In Barry Lopez’s “Losing Sense of Place” he talks about how Americans basically take our landmarks and geological features for granted. Lopez says, “In 40,000 years of human history, it has only been in the last few hundred years or so that a people could afford to ignore their local geographies as completely as we do and still survive.” This is very true over time the ideal of place is less meaningful; when America was discovered explores could not wait to map it out and now no one even owns a map or it is very seldom people know how to read them. The ideal of losing sense of place is an interesting concept because I have never thought of place as something that can be lost. Usually when I go somewhere I just think of it as a place and not take in its features but recently I have been tasked with looking at places as more than just a location and was shock with my findings.…
