    You have to admit the Soviets built one heck of a town so far north. This place was not thrown together overnight. A lot of thought went into giving the miners every creature comfort they could, probably to keep them from remembering they are so very isolated from the rest of the world. One could easily lose their mind after spending months up here.

Never did see any smoke in Centralia though, only place I saw smoke coming out is at the Glen Burn Colliery in Shamokin, towards the top where the tower there's several places there smoke is venting from the ground. Can't really find any information on it but from what I've heard from people it's been burning for a several decades now probably since around the 70s or 80s.
