Discuss cities that grew with corporations, then declined when the world market changed in the 80s and 90s.

For example, the Binghamton, NY area with IBM, Whirlpool, Endicott-Johnson, Valvoline, and Dick’s Sporting goods all starting in the Binghamton metro area… and IBM and Endicott-Johnson growing very large in the community, before ultimately leaving it. There are likely many examples across the country.
