This is what I'd like to see while driving up there. We will get there - be it OH, PA, NY, or NJ. The more I think about it the more it makes sense. I miss it and yet I've never been there too long. Everyday it pulls me a little closer as if its been home all along. I feel moved. Do you?

2011-08-07T21:20:00.000-07:00

After two days of this isolation I start to understand that I have just begun to understand that I don't understand it all. I still want out. I want somewhere and something different. I want it to be 27 degrees out. I want it to be Tuesday at 1:30 am in a small motel room in Northern Maine curled under thin blankets watching an unknown tv show from Canada together with someone who understands lovely lonely shared dreams of nixie tube alarm clocks, porthole television sets, snow skittering along the parking lot, and the comforting warmth of a radiator in a small room with low ceilings and a small linoleum bathroom with soap and plastic cups wrapped in paper just for us.

Watch the full episode. See more POV.

This mall... is "not just the world’s largest. With fewer than a dozen stores scattered through a space designed to house 1,500, it is also the world’s emptiest – a dusty, decrepit complex of buildings marked by peeling paint, dead light bulbs, and dismembered mannequins."

It Takes Me Back

...To look up at and wonder at the blue of the sky at the age of four. To ride bikes at 6:13 a.m. with my mom on a summer's morning. To not have to care about what to fix for dinner. To have your clothes picked out for you. To eat at a pancake restaurant with grandmother on a Saturday before watching balloons race. To thinking your parents are so big. To never truly realizing you are mortal.

Stepping out back, Jhon takes a break and wonders where he can get another book by J. G. Ballard. Perhaps the nearby book store. Maybe he could get a ride to a larger city from a friend if he bought gas. Damn it was hot out.

Centralia, PA: The Town That Was

2010-06-05T06:29:00.000-07:00

In 1962, a trash fire ignited a seam of anthracite coal beneath Centralia, Pennsylvania, a once thriving mining town of over 3,000 people. By the mid 1980's, giant plumes of smoke and deadly carbon monoxide gases billowed from fissures in the ground, the local highway cracked and collapsed, trees were bleached white and petrified, as the fire continued to rage unchecked. It wasn't until a young boy nearly died after falling into a smoldering mine subsidence that the government was pressed into action. After estimating the cost of extinguishing the fire at over a half a billion dollars, the government instead opted to raze the town and relocate its residents. Today, 11 die-hards remain. Filmed over a period of four years with interviews ranging from former residents to Congressmen, The Town that Was is an intimate portrait of John Lokitis, the youngest remaining Centralian, and his quixotic fight to keep alive a hometown that has literally disintegrated under his feet. His unbowed determination and steadfast refusal to acknowledge defeat reveal a man, a town, a region, and a way of life abandoned and forgotten.

2010-03-26T21:46:00.000-07:00

From the Mazeppa website itself:

"For three brief years, Gailard Sartain was Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi on the late night weekend show "The Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting." Beginning in April of 1970, Sartain and his cohort Jim Millaway, aka Sherman Oaks, created wildly inventive, hip, off-trail humor that predated the national "Saturday Night Live" by several years, wrapping it around showings of old horror movies and Busby Berkeley musicals."

Interest piqued? Mine sure is... Now I just need to figure out how to get a hold of or view some past episodes of this fascinating show...
