A downtown apartment building stitched Plainfield together. On July 10, floods washed it away.
The Heartbreak Hotel was the kind of place where neighbors saw each other every day, where generations of people, from all walks of life, found belonging and someone to wave to in the morning.
Twelve people were living there at the time, and they all survived. Most of their beloved cats did not.
In the days after the flood, reporter Erica Heilman talked with a number of the residents who lost their homes. They sat on porches and in houses where they were camped out, and in Erica’s car. What was lost that night, and what could it teach us about what comes next?
