Heartbreak Hotel. End of an Era
This summer, a one-in-a-thousand-year flood hit the village of Plainfield, Vermont. A local apartment building, which everyone called the Heartbreak Hotel, collapsed and washed away down the Great Brook. Twelve people were living there at the time, and they all survived.

This is a story about what was lost that night, and what it might suggest about how we move forward.
