The cycle of life is much more magnified in a small town than a large city.
Should do a follow up piece! Find some of the people that were in this originally, including the photographer. Great story!🇺🇸
Wonderful story. Seems like a great place to grow up. Everyone deserves to have that kind of support & safety. I hope people return to Cuba, KS, & it starts to grow again.
I was growing up in a small town in Iowa at this time. Things have changed a LOT.
Current population there is 145 as of 1/27/2019.
This is my home town. I was only 3 when this aired. I imagine 145 people is a far reach from the true population of about 75. My parents being 2 of them. None the less, still a great town with 75 great people.
Hard to believe those high school grads are almost 60…
'80-'95 was the twilight of America.
I grew up in a tiny southern town in the 80's. The paper mill employed just about everyone. It was so safe that we never locked our houses. Everyone knew everyone, and looked out for one another. I rode my bike to elementary school. It was a good way to grow up.
He was building cattle fenc n the barbed wire snapped n strangled him...he was by himself so no one there to help
Holy moly! What an awful way to go.
Too bad the town dying now but at least look on the bright side they have two grocery stores in the entire county and one of them is in Cuba
They will be back.
So weird to see people just casually smoking inside the high school gym. So much has changed in 36 short years. These high school seniors are all grand parents for the most part. All in their mid to late 50s. This segment seems very unfinished.
We are 53/54, and yes several of us are grandparents now. The town has faded and I haven't seen a lot of my classmates in years, but most of us are still within a 200 mile radius of Cuba now, after having been out and about in the world and then returning. Myself, I went into the National Guard and that allowed me to come back at least once a month to visit even though I was going to school in Manhattan, Ks and then teaching in Wichita before I returned to the area in '94... The reason the segment seems unfinished to you is that we are not yet finished nor is Cuba, (there are actually several recent graduates before the school closed that have stayed and are starting families). Jim still comes back from time to time and visits and takes pictures to this day...(Shawn Woolsey, the chore guy....lol)
May 29, 1983
Omfg I live here
In a follow up. I would like to see the HS grduates who came back to visit. Do they feel guilty about leaving or were they encouraged to by their parents.; Did their parents understand when they did leave. I would like to know.
Y'all people are the best people ever I wish I was there with you I think I would fit right in 👣
❤️
Says 266 as of 2019,and half of that in 2010
Do you have any recordings of the CBS show Nightwatch from the same year?
Can you do more videos about small town
You do it. That’s the idea.
Great story
Kuralt. Kept more people out of church than any other American!
I thought "What would Fox News say about Charles Kuralt"? The answer is above.
Well now, if Sunday Morning comes on at 9, you can still get to church by 11. (If you skip the last 30 mins of the show.) At least in my house, church was more important than the TV.
Another small town in a rust belt Red State that's been dying a slow death due to their leaders lack of vision.

I bet everyone there has a old wooden musty smell about them mixed with the hint of tobacco
Yeah its called honest hard work...you ought to try it sometime instead of insulting those of us that do...as to the tobacco, someday you snowflakes are going to learn you can't judge yesterday's actions by today's values...
swoolsey56ify I don’t think it’s an insult at all. I kinda like that smell. It’s like old library books, dust, and the smell of Antique stores. I’m sure the 80s also smelled like hairspray. As for all the smoking, I don’t blame them at all for it. Smoking was cool back then. It was everywhere too. I remember when you could buy smokes from vending machines and most restaurants had smoking sections where folks could develop their lung cancer in fashion. Looking back at all the fashion trends everyone looks so hairy and sweaty with all the hair and think clothing. They all look so stuffy.
@@andywaynebrooks Post-up your photo, inbreeder, we’ll let you know just how superior you are.
Why is this trending lmao
This is Charles karualts photographer. He was a very special man. This show is forty this week and there is nothing else like it since.
Also, some of us are more interested in what rural America is doing rather than getting caught up in all the B.S. that urban events are heaping on us....
gotta love the recommended videos. lmao
