I am fascinated by a town (that used to exist) called Centralia Pennsylvania. It was a town that was abandoned because of an underground mine fire. Found this random photo

Were you able to get it?

Please tell me you were able to grab it! Whenever I visit my grandparents in Oregon I always come home with a vacuum because there are so many that I see that are out by the trash and I always grab the ones that are worth grabbing. I've found kenmores, kirbys, electroluxes, and one time I found a Hoover 475 in the trash! It's amazing what people will throw out! But I don't find much in the trash in Washington.
 
I've been to Centralia to explore. That old hoover isn't there anymore. It's not more than a cemetery and a couple houses. The municipal building, complete with a fire truck and ambulance. There's an active coal mine right outside of the town and a church on the mountain side that can be seen from town.
