I'll have to check that one out. I've seen it from the interstate but never stopped.

You mean to tell me that I've been somewhere that you haven't??? Mark this one down in the books!

I could explore this place till the cows come home, and we'all dont have any cows in the city. :lol::lol:
Nicely done.

We have a few ghost towns created by a coal boom around here too. Do they let you go into the old buildings?

One is now a restaurant but the others are not open. There is one that I didn't post that I would really really like to get into. There is a museum across the highway but it wasn't opened the day I went.

Here is the one that I'd really like to get into...
