Basically the story of most of the Midwest. Suburbanization and the auto industry globalizing their supply chains was the one-two punch that sent most of those big cities into downward spirals. I'm reminded of this every time I fly into STL, MCI or CVG. (These were two massive hubs for Braniff, then Delta. Huge, huge airports, both of which are shells of their former selves.)
