Lisa Russel, 20, and other teens hang out on the street corners in Glouster, OH. Glouster was once a thriving community in Southeastern Ohio, but with the departure of extractive industries such as coal mining the town's economic sources dried up. The town youth have little to do and substance abuse runs rampant.
