[quote=Anonymous]This is a great thread. Really good ones mentioned so far, I’ll add a couple:

The East Side, Buffalo, NY- once a prosperous immigrant community (Polish and German Catholics) it was hit hard by lost manufacturing jobs and white flight. Empty lots, dilapidated, condemned but still oddly beautiful big homes, old business signs in Polish, huge Catholic Churches surrounded by chain link fence..

Mostly abandoned towns along Rt. 66- somehow are more creepy than completely abandoned towns. Like where are those 25 townspeople generating income from??

I lived in Columbus GA for a while and had an infant. I used to take her for long, aimless drives for something to do. That part of GA has lots of little town centers where you could tell used to be general stores, post offices, town halls, etc, and sit derelict, mostly abandoned now. A big claim to fame for some of them was if a scene or two of The Walking Dead was filmed there.

What makes a good creepy town? It’s like the feeling that you’ve stumbled someplace you shouldn’t be, or stayed at the party too long. Like fairgrounds in the dead of winter. [/quote]
