Kenneth Hannover, 73, looks over downtown Mason City, Illinois from the window of Hanover Barbershop, which he has run since taking it over from his father in 1952. The small town of 2,700 is undergoing downtown revitalization efforts by local business leaders who have
recently opened restaurants, a movie theater and a comedy club. Several downtown buildings are owned by outsiders from Springfield who locals say couldn't care less that their buildings are crumbling. Hanover agrees the town could some renovation.
