Centrailia, PA, a modern ghost town

[ninthstargod]

Centralia was a mining town that met it's end due to a mine fire. for info and more pics of Centralia visit these sites. it's easier for you to just visit these sites than for me to write about Centralia. i guess i'm feeling lazy right now.

Very interesting series. I have seen a book about the Centralia fire and your photos do an excellent job of making one feel as if "you are there".
