    I thought that getting out of my truck with the Nikon would attract unwanted attention from the homeowner, so I only took pictures of the house with my phone; I believe this was originally an attached rowhome, not intended to be a detached single-family, so those brick columns are to add extra support...

    Since Centralia no longer legally exists, the "CENTRALIA BOROUGH" and "COLUMBIA COUNTY" signage has been removed...

    My first trip to Centralia was just over a week before my truck's passenger door got bashed in with a metal pipe, so that's why my truck is intact in the photos from the first trip...

    At the time I snapped this picture with my iPhone, my 2010 Tacoma was pushing 145K miles (now it's almost at 147K), and had taken me on a lot of adventures over the years; However, this is probably the closest it will ever come to being driven in Siberia!

    This may have actually been just outside of Centralia in neighboring Frackville...

    This was actually someone's house, and it was outside of Centralia so there's no eminent domain...

    I actually got stuck after stopping to take a picture of the Thunderbird, and roasted my right rear tire pretty good, before I was finally forced to back up and really gun it to get going again...

    Once again, an authentic Russian driving experience in the Keystone State!

    Same house again; I think this might actually be two attached houses, though I don't know if two different families are living in it. That pickup parked out front seems to be fairly new though!

    From what I've read, many people pass through Centralia without realizing it; You really have to look closely to see that there was once a fairly sizable community here just three decades ago!

    I have a 2WD Taco with a brake-actuated limited-slip rear diff that I lovingly refer to as a "fake posi"; It can get me out of some sticky (or snowy) situations, but I was gonna wait until I drove up in the spring to fully explore Centralia!

    What also confuses me is that there are a lot of fairly large trees around, considering that there were several buildings here well into the late 1990s and well into the early 21st century...

    This is where they have the abandoned stretch of road that became the "graffiti highway" blocked off; The graffiti highway has since been covered with dirt to keep people from adding to it... :(
