Blue town is a fascinating place, a ghost of its former self, yet the echos of the past can be heard if one listens carefully.. thanks for posting this

Another priceless collection of images from the past, caught in time, a time which would have been fogotten

Dead right, Bryan.

These are beautifully put together and wonderfully presented with seemingly perfect music . I think the pictures make me nostalgic for something called community .

A brilliant video of this historical town. A shame so many of the historical buildings were demolished, but at least you keep the memory alive with your video. Nice to see the school playground with the sycamore tree, which I remember well.

[@awol116]

Thank you for your comments. Yes, so can I. Wonderful memories.

Excuse delay. I did reply via your site, but see there is no content now. My time 55-62. Hmm.

So basically, Blue Town no longer exists. 😢

Well, as they say, a shadow of its former self, I'm afraid.
