Read the text. Select True or False.
Buckleford was a big industrial town in the early 20th century. There were a lot of people, stores and factories. The town had five
hotels, and on Main Street there were twelve stores, including a grocery store, a bookstore and three bars. There weren't many cars,
but there were a lot of trolleys, and the downtown area was busy. Because Buckleford was an industrial town, there was a lot of
pollution. But there was a green space, the Miners Park. And there was culture, too: next to the park there was a library, and across
from the library, a theater.
Today Buckleford is very different. There aren't many factories, and there are fewer people living
downtown. There aren't any hotels, either, and there are only two stores and a bar on Main Street.
Of course there aren't any trolleys anymore, but there is a trolley museum. Tragically, the old
library next to Miners Park is now a parking lot. And finally, one of the most important changes: the
theater is now a supermarket.
