there's a few that i've found, one in NY, one in PA, but what i've heard is that they based it off of the one here in CO.

i was speaking with my friend about this, he's from PA, and he said/found:

"and this picture proves a point about how in the games, the streets would be cut off.

thats a picture of a road in centralia. notice how its cracked down the middle, well that could happen on a larger scale, and prove why the roads would end.

heres a map of the location of Centralia. notice the big city under it, Ashland. which could be switched to Ashfield."

my house in PA, is about 2 hours away from Centralia, and i plan on going there with my friends sometime to check it out. (we'll be bringing gas masks, lol). and Lakeside amusement park in CO, isn't a place to go if you wanna ride the rides. hideous roller coaster wreck happened there, train went off the track, killing the people (obviously). sort of the reason why they decided to use Lakeside, as the amusement park of choice, because of all the deaths that have happened there.

i'm repeating myself now.

This is some creepy shit, I've driven past that place around 20-30 times between my long road trips from Virginia to Boston (Navy leave) and from NC to Boston. I'll have to stop down there next time I go down.

Im going to Pennsylvania to visit my family this summer so I'll beg them to go visit the town. If I do I will film it and upload it so people can check it out. It would be cool! People should visit the town and film or tell their experience there it would be a nice addition to the forum

Centralia's about an hour from my hometown, and isn't much of a diversion from the route I usually take. The next time I go, I'll slip on in and bring back pictures.

Look at the lie .............

Centralia In Media
This town is included in a short documentary on the Broken Saints DVD set.

The town seems to be the direct inspiration for the setting of Dean Koontz's short novel Strange Highways.

Bill Bryson, in his humorous travel guide to the Appalachian Trail, A Walk in the Woods, describes a visit to the town.

I AM A LIE---->Centralia was the inspiration for the movie adaption of the game Silent Hill. <--- I AM A LIE

A Short Documentary on Centralia was produced by Penn State Film Student Garrett Rhodes in 2003.
