In our April Dig Deep conversation, Aaron Brown talks about an assignment he gives to his students at Hibbing Community College.   Identify what you think is one of the biggest social problems, and ways to solve it.  Over the last 10 years there's a similar answer.  "there's nothing to do in small towns!"  Aaron and Chuck break it down.
