That's pretty interesting. Kinda reminds me of ChiefsPlanet.

Toxic gases...Is this another shit-thread ...

Was I the only one who thought "prime hobo winter real estate" when he lit the match of the ground?

[DJay23]

Not far from where I live. I've never been there, and don't plan on it.

[Rain Man]

Other than the poisonous gases and the possibility of the ground collapsing underneath you and throwing you into the fires of hell, this could be a good tourist attraction.

[Phobia]

Seriously, it's interesting and everything but interesting enough to visit? Uh.

Same folks like to walk around in Volcanoes, I guess.

Remember that it's a fixer-upper right now. Disney World was a swamp once. Some new carpet, some paint, some gas masks and asbestos rescue equipment, and you've got "South Florida in Pennsylvania" in December.

I'm originally from Pennsylvania. I used to drive through Centralia when I was working construction in Harrisburg. It was scary back in the 90's, I can't imagine it now. It's a ghost town.

:LOL:

"Nothing but Trouble". That's a fun bad movie.

Silent Hill was based on Centrailia. Pretty creepy looking at the video... Silent Hill scared the hell out of me.

Where in PA are you from? I live in Montoursville, so I'm north central. Centralia is probably an hour drive from me, but it's so out of the way from where I ever go I've just never been near it. It's kind of in the middle of the triangle formed by Harrisburg, Williamsport, and Philly.

Great thread, I really like this sort of thing. That is why; sir, you get rep.
