WOBURN -- Few developers could build a commercial property empire of 74 debt-free office, industrial, retail, and research buildings valued at about $800 million. Even fewer would then give most of it away.

BOSTON - It's a rainy April evening in Danville, Pa. The sidewalks on Mill Street are empty. Once-handsome 19th century brick facades are faded and the storefronts--Dollar Store, D's Clothier--are dark. Two small restaurants and a bar are open, but empty--or nearly so--adding weight to the street's designation as a "historic" business district. The scene here is a common one in rural Pennsylvania and in small towns throughout the United States, where economies built on agriculture and manufacturing have given way in recent decades to a low-wage, service-sector economy and its placeless landscape of strip malls and chain stores. A tension between old and new can be felt everywhere in Danville (population roughly 4,900), which was settled on the banks of the Susquehanna River in 1777 by William Montgomery. His 1792 stone house--now a museum--still stands at the end of Mill Street, directly across the street from a Wendy's restaurant.
