Basically this town has been all but abandoned over the last several decades because a fire got into a mine shaft and its been slow-burning for more than half a century. This caused ground to get extremely hot and it shifted the land around so that houses and such were wobbling all over the place. Most of it has been bulldozed but there are still a few residents holding out. However, they are not allowed to sell their property or pass it down to anyone.

It's neat at first to see the graffiti highway, but overall there's nothing special about it today to see. It's a small highway that's filled with people's chalk writings and then all forestry and once in a while you'll come across a torn down house. It's so torn down you can see just the floor and a couch. Nothing else remains really out there. There's a small cemetery too. It's not at all what you would expect.

Old ass topic of mine.

It's a old abandoned factory me and my friends messed around in back in the early 90s.

Went back home in July and seen that they put like a 15ft a fence up around the thing for safety and vagrant reasons.
