Shell, are your pink toes getting really hot from the ground? ...not that they aren't hot anyway.

Centralia?

CONGRATULATIONS, TULLY! ....right on!

Centralia is a ghost town in Pennsylvania. Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 12 in 2005 and 9 in 2007, as a result of a mine fire burning, as we speak, beneath the borough since 1962 sending smoke up through homes and streets and most recently up into a cemetery...the smoke visibly wafting from up through gravestones.

When you go there it's like stepping into another world. Don't go! It can kill you...the ground can cave in underneath you if the toxins don't kill you first!

One theory asserts that in May 1962, Centralia Borough Council hired five members of the volunteer fire company to clean up the town landfill, located in an abandoned strip mine pit next to the Odd Fellows Cemetery. This had been done in previous years, when the landfill was in a different location. The firefighters set the dump on fire, and let it burn for a time. Unlike in previous years, however, the fire was not extinguished.
The fire remained burning underground and spread through a hole in the rock pit into the abandoned coal mines beneath Centralia.

Attempts to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful and it continued to burn throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Adverse health effects were reported by several people due to the byproducts of the fire, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and lack of healthy oxygen levels.

In 1984, Congress allocated more than $42 million for relocation efforts. Most of the residents accepted buyout offers and moved to the nearby communities of Mount Carmel and Ashland. A few families opted to stay despite warnings from state officials.

This fire is expected to burn for a couple of centuries...until it has expended all the coal veins

The residents plan to return in 2016 to open a time capsule.

...and Honorable Mention goes to Uncle Phil

...and the Booby Prize goes to BadNick...hey, what's that in Pic#3 ?!??
Does that Street Graffiti say "BadNick" !? .................Were you there? :lol:

Ok find me.

BTW- Nick why didn't you just guess Centralia?

Tul, are you in the WH?

I resisted saying "Centralia" since I didn't want to risk creating a black hole warp in space-time and the entire universe as we know it would get sucked into it...all because of the "déjà vu all over again" phenomenon since, as you probably recall, I was in Centralia a little earlier in this game....

Shell,
as a matter of fact, in "real life" I've driven through and walked around Centralia a number of times...very eerie place as you said. On my drive home from Watkins Glen racetrack in NY, I usually take back roads over the mountains into northern PA and Rt. 61 is a nice scenic road that goes right through the middle...what used to be the middle... of Centralia. Smokin' hot place! I hope you didn't burn your toes.

Yes, WH

And yes I do remember you picking Centralia. It's likely the main reason I thought of it right a way... after reading your post.

NH?

I think we must both like that Barbra Streisand song about mammaries. I just noticed she now spells her name "bar" and "bra" rather than Barbara. Barbra Streisand - Wikipedia That says a lot right there :confused:

uh oh...of all the places in the world
and Centralia was chosen twice?#@??
I missed that, BadNick...i owe you one...which one do you want?

...would you like to lick my luscious big toe or indulge in my delicately scented and delectable pinky toe...only one now
....just doing my part for the cause of your new-found fetish :p

Perhaps I should dip them first in your quote from over in the ABC Word Association thread (you sexy thang you):

And, Tully....land-locked?

:rose:

Under nick's Sofa?

Tul, are you somewhere in Estados Unidos Mexicanos?


Wow, Shell, I'm getting off just thinking of that. So rather than choose and end it, I'll just let it ride forever :crazy: next time I see "...E, F..." in the ABC game I'll know it means "eternal foreplay"

NH, not land locked, not Mexico.

Not under Nick's sofa but I am in the US.

east of the mrs.?

Go west.

under the 40?

unc, it just redundantly dawned on me too late that you probably meant "Mexico"

Over 40

in a coastal state?

Yes

in oregon?

Yes.

East of I-5?

North of Rt. 20?


PS: I'd like to add this comment/opinion: I don't think we should burden anyone with having to look through this entire thread to make sure they don't duplicate places we've already been. That could put a damper on people's motivation to play the game. Just pick a place that seems interesting to you for whatever reason and go for it.

...southwestern quadrant of the state?

hmmm, I think I was there once, Shell ;)

Yes Phil, No Shell.

What Nick? Oh wait, yes, North of 20. Sorry missed your 1st post.

anywhere near umatilla national forest?

No, but both pieces of what's left of that forest are awesome elk hunts.

are you a town/city?

I'm in a village, didn't even know Oregon had villages but this is one.

mount hood village?

No, but if it helps I used to pass through here on my way to ski on Mt Hood.

Not a very exciting place to be honest.

population under 1,000?

mt. bachelor village?

no, scratch mt bachelor....Sisters at the gateway to the Cascades?

:rose:

No Shell, not Sisters... north go north.

Phil, I can't find a pop listed but my guess would be under 1000. I also found a site that stated this was a village then the residents voted that designation out. The vote was 293 for village and 298 for town. Such excitement for such an unexciting place.
