Phenix City cleanup tainted past to new prosperity
The Wall Street Journal describes Phenix City Alabama as a once infamous vice town now cleaning up after a wartime boom era. It notes a 100 million annual flow through vice venues before cleanup, 200000 yearly in fines, and mass job losses from shuttered clubs. The piece argues revival requires new industries and civic resolve. It contrasts with Lawrence Kansas as a model of orderly growth.
