I saw Silent Hill tonight and had to chuckle at the obvious reference to Centralia, so much so that the friend that went with me (who's from California) asked if it really existed. Andrew, just to be clear, the fire's only been going since 1962 (not 150 yrs) and there are enough folks from Columbia and Northumberland Counties, PA that can attest to having driven to Knoebels, or been on their way to Pottsville, or to Reading and Philly that have had to travel through here. And yes, it gets increasingly more desolate as the years have gone on, though there are some that were born there, lived there and will die there, never having left.
