Description

Semi-amusing, yet rather sad story from this most recent visit to the area: Met an elderly man in Centralia who was, naturally, looking for the town of Centralia. Asked us if we knew where the town was. I told him he was standing in the centre of it. We were actually on what's left of Park Street at the west edge of town, but I pointed down the road a bit toward Centre St and Locust Ave (PA Rte. 61) where the true centre of town would have been.

He seemed a bit disappointed that the main attraction here was the collapsing section of PA Route 61, but there really isn't much left other than streets, a handful of sidewalks, and a stray foundation or stone wall here and there. There's five or so houses left standing, as well as the police & fire station which still serves the area. And then there's the graveyards.

Much info can be had here: [link]
