The difference broadband makes in one Appalachian town

Don't miss The New Yorker's story out of McKee, Kentucky, population 800, on the impact of superior broadband on one rural community's job opportunities.  You gotta' love the headline for Sue Halperin's feature, "The One-Traffic Light Town with Some of the Fastest Internet in the U.S."   Other themes include substance abuse and those indicated by selected tabs/labels.

McKee is the county seat of Jackson County, population 13,494, in eastern Kentucky, historically the most economically depressed part of the state.
