Have you heard of this town?

[julez]

It has been sitting completely empty since 1983.  Fascinating!

Edit: Omg, I have no idea where that other link came from!  Weird.

Am I retarded or did the link you send me to have a picture of a halloween costume

Have you heard of Famagusta? Also a ghost town sine 1974.

[bania]

LOLOL. Wrong link I think.

NVM: Fixed now.  

[bania]

That's really cool. It's hard to believe someone maintains that whole place alone.

[speckledfrog]

How weird.

Right? And everything is so well-preserved.  That has got to be a ton of work.  Can you imagine all those houses?  How does one person keep them all in good (enough) repair to keep them from falling down after 40 years?

Please don't use that word, evee.

Thank you.

This is very eerie. Reminds me of Silent Hill

No, but this is very fascinating to me

Well, we've always said we need a place for all of us to start the llama farm.

Looks like this one is ready made.

I wonder why the company ordered people out?\

Also, do they not have dust in Canada?

[glassofsyrah]

That is amazing.

[malibu]

Creepy!

[demelza]

Wow that is so cool. 18 months in and then they shut it down, pretty crazy.

I've heard of Centralia. Fascinating!

It's amazing that there is STILL no way to extinguish that fire.

If the weather here near Seattle is any indication, the rain washes all the dust away.

I feel like this is a real life horror movie waiting to happen.

The article said that the person taking care of it is not pleased wit what the guy (or company?) is planning doing with it. (S)he is going to take care of anyone trying to move in Jason style.
