There are 4 abandoned towns in the same area. All for the same reason.

Excellent footage. It's a sad story.
Did you think people will return?

No. There are sink holes and mine collapses all over. Some say the whole place is contaminated with lead from the chat, others say the epa did not find any lead so the chat is ok to use in asphalt roads. They use it for asphalt roads. There are major places blocked off because the streets are falling in.

Great images & amazing history! Thanks Tentoes Captain for sharing with us!

Sad looking place.

Outstanding footage.  So sad to see what is left after the zinc and lead was mined out.  Hopefully the EPA continues to monitor the Chat wastes that were contaminated with lead and zinc in the past.  I've heard that chat can be used to improve traction on snow-covered roads and had been used in highway construction and even some concrete production so at least some good became of all that waste. Thanks Tentoes for sharing.  Stay safe.

Turned into a ghost town. Thanks for sharing the footage

Story: Yea, I often have trouble with the story part of a video.

There's another abandoned town not far away. One of these days I'll have to visit.

Cold and rainy here today. Not conducive to barefooted brats to go exploring.

Sad to see what I'm sure would have been a lively place turn into a ghost town - well captured
