Been there twice since the destruction of an amazing place. . I was furious the first time I seen it as I wanted to show my new girlfriend (at the time), and it was covered with mounds. Really horrible as I had talked the trip up and explained the history. Before you could walk the road and see smoke. Assholes. This wasn't doing harm to anyone. It also, I'm sure, brought much needed tourism to the small town of Ashland next door. How many people would make the homage to Centralia and then go get food in Ashland or check out the pioneer coal mine tour. Idiots. Whoever ordered this is a selfish moron, who just wanted to ruin fun for 1000s of people. I went every few years. Took multiple people there and had a fun time each time. Now what's the point?

Now it's just dirt, no smoke, no highway. Shit I didn't care about the graffiti I just liked seeing the smoke rise. Now there is nowhere in Centralia to even see it. If you want graffiti there is an abandoned bridge outside Reading, that has that. Also abandoned turnpike tunnels and I'm sure 100s of other locations. No other place had burning coal mine road with earthquake, dystopian novel looking highway. Grrr....

No fun allowed anymore. Screw PA gov, the Township, the property owner (if there is one, they shouldnt own a whole ghost town/highway)... This should of been made a state park or attraction.

The one remaining person living there complained about quads and bikes, if I recall, these mounds won't do shit to stop 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. They will just ride over them. All it does is stop enjoyment for the rest of us. If you can't tell, I loved Centralia. The lore, the vibes, the history. No where like it anywhere.
