Keeping Postville Together

By Nicole Salow and Logan Weeks

Two signs greet visitors to Postville. One battered old sign reads, “Welcome to Postville, Boyhood Home of Dr. John R. Mott, Nobel Peace Prize winner-1946.” The other lies behind, in pristine condition, and reads “Postville-Hometown to the World.” The first sign represents what Postville was; the second represents what Postville has become.
