Centrailia, PA was once a small mining town with a population around 3,000 due to a mine fire in 1962 it is now a literal ghost town. Of the original estimated 800 buildings only 10 remain.
"The town that was" is a brief yet interesting documentary on Centrailia the small mining town destroyed by a mine fire. The film follows John Lokisti as he gives a "tour" of whats left of the town, he also reflects on past memories. He is the youngest of the 10 residences still in Centralia, what I thought was interesting is, how he mows the whole town, and how he puts Christmas decorations up every year. I do not understand his loyalty, but I do admire it.
