Too bad they got most of their facts wrong. The dump wasn't in a coal shaft and it wasn't lit by a cigarette, it was just a regular surface dump that people regularly burned off back in the day. The dump fire just happened to find a coal vein and kept on going. The kid that fell in a burning hole didn't die. He grabbed a root and then was pulled to safety just before he would've been baked like cookie dough. And the government dropped the ball on a lot of things regarding Centralia but one thing they got right was insisting that people leave for their own safety due to unstable ground, monoxide and smoke poisoning, and the lack of a safety net remaining like police, fire, and medical services. There are several excellent documentaries on this, they should use their phones for a little more research and a little less breaking and entering.

My wife is from the area pictured here (Duncannon), and five years ago we moved near the town, eventually buying a small house a mile outside Duncannon. It's exciting to see the new brewery, new ownership of the Doyle, but there's still a LOT of work to be done here. We've lost the Sled Works, and that's too bad. We have been increasingly connecting with our neighbors here and we've been exploring the place - there's so much in the hinterlands! Here, as anywhere, you'll find every kind of folk. I'm more of a 'techie', as I work from home, drive an EV, and installed solar panels in the backyard. I started out as a curiosity, but with my wife's help, I think we're starting to fit in here. I never thought I'd own chickens, that much is certain! 😊 It's important to buy locally and we do so at every opportunity. We want this place to thrive, and that means contributing what you can. People mostly leave each other alone, unless they want to join in a like-minded group. We attend a local church and visit my wife's relatives often. As we are now in our 50's, I don't need the excitement and hubbub anymore. I did my time in those places. Now, I'm enjoying the outdoors - even during work hours as I view Cove Mountain from my windows. I LOVE this place and its people.

I graduated college as a geologist, met someone, settled down, and eventually moved across country but Central PA will always be home (it's where my sister, elderly mother, and other family live). This brought back so many good memories - riding BMX bikes with my friends, swimming/tubing on the Susquehanna, exploring Centralia (I remember when there was a town there and then slowly watching it dwindle over the years and the mine fire caused houses to be foundationally unsafe and the government started buying people out and having them move). There's not a lot for kids or adults in Central PA as far as non-blue collar careers...but the people there are salt of the earth and there are some charming towns steeped in history and some amazing state parks (look up Ricketts Glen). I really enjoyed this video, Peter...great interaction with the locals and kids.

I spent nearly two decades living in Mifflinville off and on while working for PP&L as a contractor ( my home is in upstate S.C.). I spent much of my time off there exploring central PA. I love Pa and enjoyed living there. I did a lot of exploring by motorcycle and hiking (including all over Ricketts Glen) . I’ve lived and worked all over the US but only consider Pa as my second home. I sure miss it.

Hi Peter. I love your videos. So glad that you came to my neck of the woods! I grew up in Mount Carmel which is right next to Centralia. My husband and I retired and we are back in Mount Carmel. The boy who fell into the mine fire hole was named Todd Domboski. Todd did not die but was able to get out of the hole and was rescued. The kids called him mine diver! Todd and his wife and daughter were my next door neighbors for several years after we moved back. He just passed away recently. I was a teenager when the residents of Centralia were fighting for help to deal with the mine fire. They were a grass roots group that of everyday people who worked hard to get the government to notice the dangers that they were living everyday. Keep in mind, this was long before the internet and social media existed. Centralians were made of strong stuff and they didn’t give up or give in easily. It was a long fight but they did it! Centralia was an active, vibrant community with a rich cultural heritage. Much was lost when Centralia was razed. It was a difficult transition for people to leave their homes as many were raised in those homes. When people come through Centralia, they see the emptiness but I see the houses, businesses, churches and people who made it a great community.

@norgessalg66404 ай бұрын
There is no "age gap" unless a culture forcibly separates different age groups for whatever reason. This absurd phenomena where adults and kids aren't normally socializing casually is a contemporary Western thing that came about a couple of decades ago and intensified from there, around the time media started portraying a notion of kidnappers behind every street corner to maximize revenue by promoting fear of strangers. In most of the world, all ages freely interact to this day, as it should be. Western young people have close to zero mentorship through crucial years of development, and the grim consequences of that are an entire generation lost on drugs with zero skills except "social media" or video gaming. So many boys growing up with a single mother, all female harpy Karen teachers, overly sheltered in their homes under "supervision", and unless they're one of the few lucky enough to have a dad around who's not being prevented from seeing his children due to some discriminatory custody settlement, they'll reach adulthood without being able to change a tire or really do anything of worth as a man. So, bring back the old days, I say, when men were men, women were women, and young people were allowed to explore the world, grow up, and freely interact with other kids AND adults alike, in everyday life. That's why I like watching footage from these salt-of-the-earth small towns, they're slightly less devoured by soulless modernism with whatever it entails. Get your little ass outside and be back for supper, simple as that.

We are all spiritual beings, and the spirit desires and longs for uplifting ways...towards greater peace, happiness, and spiritual ascent. So progress should be geared towards those ends...not convenience, or solely comfort...or what best serves the profit margin. Otherwise we remain stuck in the temporal world...which one day must come to an end, and turn to dust. Hence all the many warnings to mankind to change for the better...but still there is confusion as to what better is...even amongst those who acknowledge the need for inner transformation. The best clue I find is in the inner voice...if we take time out to listen to it.

Too bad those "bright young lads" got most of their facts wrong. The dump wasn't in a coal shaft and it wasn't lit by a cigarette, it was just a regular surface dump that people regularly burned off back in the day. The dump fire just happened to find a coal vein and kept on going. The kid that fell in a burning hole didn't die. He grabbed a root and then was pulled to safety just before he would've been baked like cookie dough. And the government dropped the ball on a lot of things regarding Centralia but one thing they got right was insisting that people leave for their own safety due to unstable ground, monoxide and smoke poisoning, and the lack of a safety net remaining like police, fire, and medical services. There are several excellent documentaries on this, they should use their phones for a little more research and a little less breaking and entering.

I was just reading an article about how the southern accent seems to be slowly fading also with each generation. Pennsylvania has a lot of different dialects, I remember when I lived in Pittsburgh they also used to say “jagoff” which means jerk. I never heard that used around here. Also, “yinz” which is “you all” was something I never heard before.

I’m from PA-born and raised! I learned things on this video that I did not know! Great conversations with the locals! I’m In eastern PA, closer to Jersey so a little different but the small towns in the western and central part reminded me of my childhood in the 60’s; small town vibe; nicer people; quiet. Not so much like that anymore! Too close to Philly and New York! Lots of crime now! I’m familiar with the Amish and Mennonites as we have settlements in Kutztown and Lancaster here. It was nice to see the quiet, small towns.

Peter the boys on the bikes and the urban explorer young men were my absolute favorite. They were so polite and respectful and they seem to just be kids which is a far cry in this current generation of children. Another great video Peter. Thanks for sharing.

I often try finding YT channels that I can fall asleep to...but it's impossible with this one. Such riveting stories and Peter talks to people with so much respect, it is a great reminder that people have much more in common than our politicians want us to believe.

Born and raised Pittsburgher. Also land owner in the mountains of PA. Really appreciate the videos you did in our area and PA as a whole. Your videos are fantastic, thanks for the great work.

I respect you so much. Your approach, courtesy and politeness with every interaction and even in talking to your audience is so heartwarming. I am born and raised West Virginian and live in North Central WV now. Your Appalachain series impressed me. I am so used to seeing us portrayed in an unfavorable light I was almost afraid to watch. I'm glad I did. My husband and I have now watched every one of your episodes. About every other day he asks me, " does Peter have anything new up?" Thank you for being so genuine! You have two fans here loving your content.

WV is such a jewel. Amazing trip to the top of Spruce Knob in the 70's gave some real perspective and respect to altitude.....it was TUNDRA!

As a Swede and European, a bit older, you give me a total different view of an America far from the picture we often see: a land filled with weapons, schoolshootings, a crazy president, uneducated people, a country balancing on the edge of a civil war. Your video made my heart warm and all my prejudices went away like smoke in the air. It all minds me about the small quiet village in a rural area of Sweden where I live. Friendly people, beautiful nature. Thank you for your work.

The vast majority of Europeans know nothing about America except what The NY Times and Hollywood tell you. And they are notorious liars. To be fair, we also only know what the BBC and similar organizations tell us about Europe. Right now they are telling us if you oppose mass migration and miss your beautiful traditional cultures that you’re a far right menace and I know that’s not true.

Shit, every place this guy showed is filled with people that own tons of guns. I live in Central PA and almost everyone I know has many guns and cases of ammo. Uneducated? JFC, we have had more than our share of inventions and breakthroughs over the years. Yes, our school system is in terrible shape but outside of the urban hellholes the schools are much better. Central PA is the kind of place where a big conflict could spark. We are tired of being ignored and marginalized by the population centers in Philly, Pittsburgh and Scranton; they love to take our taxes but don't care about what we want or need.
