You may only know South Bend as the city that houses the University of Notre Dame, and that's okay. The beautiful campus is a sight to behold. But look beyond the school, and you'll find a city seeking a renaissance, clawing its way out of a decades-long economic downturn. The region's factory beginnings are embedded in the architecture and culture of the city, but the post-Studebaker South Bend is looking for a new identity that combines its industrial roots with revitalization.
