    It wasn’t boring at all for me. Thanks for making this video. I went there a few times in the 90’s to visit my stepson. I always loved this town. I also LOVE seeing all the old buildings and all the antique shops. You allowed me to peek into the windows!!! That was a treat, and I didn’t have to leave my chair!!!

    Thank you for filming our great town with its curious mix of old and new things. I wish you had walked a bit further in front of the library so you could see the statue of George Washington sitting on the park bench! Tower Avenue, where you already went, is surely the most interesting street. Still, you should consider doing a walk across the Centralia College campus, and maybe also Main Street and Harrison Avenue. There's also some beautiful old houses along Washington Ave. You should also consider doing a walking tour of Chehalis. I'd even be willing to join you for it.

    Good morning my friend, this is really amazing to just watch and let yourself emerge into the whole experience in the evergreen state of beautiful Washington :) As I had a chance to live there for a year, I still miss a lot of parts of it, and it is stunning to see that lot has changed but also not haha. Thank you for being able to visit this amazing place through your video at least :) sending much love and take care.

    Good to see you back on here, I too was worried about you. Centralia looks like a very cool little town, would love to see you go into Berry Field's Cafe, or stop in one of the antique shops.

    I always liked Centralia . I lived in downtown Seattle for 10 years , and when I needed a break from life I would spend the day in Centralia. I now live in Olympia and guess what I still visit Centralia!
