Why this Midwest town is thriving when so many aren't - opens to video
[USA Today] FAIRFIELD, Iowa -- Take a walk around this town's bustling square and you'll see an array of businesses that would rival some shopping malls.

On one corner sits a coffee shop that roasts its beans in house. Down the block is a store specializing in sustainable children's clothing and toys. Along another strip is a women's boutique, a Verizon store and a nutrition company.

The town's retail center also is home to a salon, a consignment store, a furniture store and an art gallery. Just off the square is a pet spa, a natural remedy store and a photography studio.

For those looking for a bite to eat: a Thai restaurant, an Indian cafe, an Italian spot and a joint peddling pizza and steak.
