Inky comes to Hometown, misses story

Philadelphia Inquirer photographer Tom Gralish stopped by Hometown recently as part of his regular feature for the paper, "Scene on the Road." An Air Force brat who moved often while growing up, Gralish was looking for the kind of place that said "home," hoping to get at least a commemorative T-shirt out of the visit.

But he didn't find what he was looking for, as was clear from his headline: "Hometown visit proves unfulfilling."

Too bad Gralish didn't do any background research before he came. Residents might not have been able to show him the sort of ideal home he dreams of, but there's a heck of a story to be told about a rural community struggling with the environmental pollution that's killing them.
