I did a cross country bicycle trip, and rode through this town. Ten years ago it was poverty stricken. Now shale oil drilling has attracted tons of work and money.

Apparently strippers move there from lucrative places like Las Vegas because you can make thousands per night... a result of the problems discussed in the article.
