It is sad to see things die. Towns included. Good post to make us think Adrienne. Here is a link I found very interesting explaining about the demise of Centralia. There is also a link to Times Beach a town in Missouri that was evacuated in the 1980's.
Hi Adrienne
Again so sad! There was some beautiful old homes here at one point. All of it gone! I think your shot really captures the feeling of loss well.

I can remember a few years back when I first heard of the Centralia fire--I could scarcely believe what happened there. How lucky you are to get to visit, and of course share your pictures with us. Thank you!
