I visited the DMZ in Korea in the mid 80’s. Outside the DMZ, the North Koreans have built a “city”. Lots of concrete and weird Soviet architecture. There is a massive North Korean flag flying and patriotic music blaring 24x7. You can’t visit it just view it from the ROK/US side.
The weird thing is no one lives there. Truly bizarre. |

We visited and took the tour. It is creepy in there, really run down. I got a horrible upper respiratory infection a couple days after visiting. The mold is ridiculous, I had wondered how they were allowed to be open. |

There is a town like this (abandoned, no nuclear catastrophe thank god) near Vorkuta in Russia. Chernobyl might be easier due to visa and logistics though. Just saying it’s not the only place like that. Its nature on the other hand... some unique animal life there. |

It's true. I've been there. It's known as the "psychic capital of the world". You might want to educate yourself before you comment

| PPs, please tell us more about Cassadega, Florida! I have never heard of this place. |

My family has roots in Central Florida and we've always known about Cassadaga. (Note correct spelling BTW) It's been around since the late 1800's. It was put on list of historical places in 1990's. Since the age of the internet it's changed a great deal and has become more touristy. Many of the spiritualists have signs out in front of their homes advertising their services. It's worth a visit to learn about the historical aspects of the town. Whether or not you want to spend money on a reading, is up to you. |

+1. I was there in 1983. Couldn't wait to get on the train back to the West. Even the train ride was creepy. |

| Grand Rapids, Michigan. Basically, the Amway Dutch Belt. I was hit up by 5 different people selling Amway in two days. The Devos family is absolutely worshipped there....weirdly so. |

When I lived in Troy; Schenectady was the nice area. I feel like you didn’t travel enough around there.
