Generalizating but trufe-
The routing of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s and NAFTA were the two biggest determinants of winners & losers of towns and cities in the US. Especially in the South & Midwest.

Don’t forget school consolidation and proximity to major metros…
I drove down 71 heading to Bossier for the baseball playoffs once and saw the sign for Hall Summit and thought about all the good class C basketball they must have had

Absolutely true. Anyone who even semi-regularly rode Hwy 71 between Alexandria and Krotz Springs before and after 49 was built saw that area take a massive hit. Places like Cheneyville and Lebeau were decimated (I'm surprised Stelly's is still running, for a long time it looked like it was on its last legs).
