Last weekend, I took the family on a mini vacation to the small Texas town of Mineral Wells, oh 'bout an hour's drive from Fort Worth. Once famous for its nasty tasting water, which was said to have curing properties, and bolstered economically by a military base, since closed, Mineral Wells is a shadow of its former self. 
Like so many small towns, it's Main Street (actually Oak St.) has been emptied by competition from the local WalMart.
