[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cumberland, MD - both of my parents grew up there.  It was a beautiful little town once, but it became depressed once railroads became less vital to the economy.  It is so sad to visit now - I believe it may be ranked the poorest town in MD - lots of drugs and all boarded up.  I sometimes wonder if it will ever have a renaissance like Ashevillle -  such a pretty location and charming old buildings.  I hope it revitalizes one day.  [/quote]

We drove through it on the way to Fallingwater. My teenager looked up from his phone and asked "What IS this place?" It made me sad to drive through it since it seemed like it had been a great place at one time.[/quote]

The Fallingwater area of PA is terrifying.  Stayed at an air b n b near it and didn’t sleep at night with feeling it was a mix of haunted and someone was about to burst in and kill us. [/quote]

It was pretty creepy. I meant to write that Cumberland, MD was pretty depressing as we drove through it. I wish it would have a revival like Asheville.[/quote]
