Mayor's tour of Granite City

http://www.stlbeacon.org/uneasy_street_granite_city/ Granite City, Ill. Mayor Ed Hagnauer took the Beacon on a tour of his town. The city's biggest employer is U.S. Steel -- and 35% of the workers it recently laid off call the city home. But Hagnauer says Granite City is more than steel. This video is part of our coverage of "Uneasy Street", how towns in the St. Louis region are dealing with the economic crisis.
