We are virtually unmatched in exporting energy exploration materials & machinery (drilling rigs, seismic equipment, etc), electrical & medical equipment, aircraft and parts, just to name a few. 

Looked terrific but it was stained at the end of the first summer season.IKEA is great for kitchen items and textiles like dish clothes, towels, duvet covers.

HOwever it does boil down to industry and jobs.. you got them you have a nice vibrant community the Mill be it steel lumber textiles closes down and now you have out flow and dead and dying real estate.I mean there is a reason that many of the landlords on this site can buy rentals for under 30k in many many parts of the central US and rust belt.. comes down to supply and demand there is more supply than demand..  

The loss in income over these months for any travel, food & beverage, textiles (any products coming from China), etc will be extensive.
