FOUND Magazine editor Jason Bitner talks about his  book LaPorte, Indiana (Princeton Architectural Press, 2006), a collection of portrait photos he stumbled onto in this quaint Midwest town. Also, we hear from some of the people depicted on these 40—50 year-old photos.

This piece was produced by Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister for Long Haul Productions in association with Chicago Public Radio. The song “LaPorte, IN” was written and performed by Ted Quinn.

Plus, our conversation continues with Hello! Fellow Tony Jones who tells us about his own visits to LaPorte, Indiana.
