Centralia, a small borough in Pennsylvania, is known for its unique and intriguing history. Once a thriving coal mining town, Centralia is now nearly abandoned due to an underground mine fire that has been burning since 1962. The town's eerie atmosphere draws in visitors who are fascinated by its deserted streets and smoke-emitting ground. Despite its decline, Centralia still boasts a few local businesses that have managed to survive. These include a family-owned diner that serves delicious comfort food and a charming antique store that showcases remnants of the town's past. While the majority of Centralia may be in ruins, these resilient businesses continue to thrive, providing a glimpse into the borough's once prosperous days.
