[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the “creepy” factor from places like Cumberland, and all those previously mentioned rust belt towns in NY, PA,OH, etc, is because there are so many remaining signs of what it used to be. These places, for a time, were booming little cities, full of people and life and culture. Because the economy passed them by, their structures were never torn down and replaced by newer architecture, so there a sad beauty in the crumbling remains. It’s like they’re locked into their once-prosperous time, but the rest of the world moved on. I get a similar feeling from Harpers Ferry, but HF has other revenue streams bringing money into the area, which makes it interesting, but not bleak. The people who still live in these towns, especially in the harder hit areas (remember- lots of these places still have nice areas where people live with good jobs and steady income), seem like they’ve been left behind, stayed at the party too long and are trapped.
