The town that was

I have a strange attraction to towns that were. I love to read and see the history of a place that once was, but over time has disappeared or died. While skimming through my daily reading of blogs I saw a post about this town that used to be, Pine Point in Canada. The center of the town was a mine, Pine Point Mine. When the mine closed, the town began to suffer. The people living in the town were later told that their town was going to be removed from the map. One of the most interesting things was that the town was not left to wither away, rather it was buried and removed from existence.

Here is a short documentary about the town.
