What the fuck is this shit?

Seems a conspiracy theorists wet dream, WHY isn't this on the daily GD menu?

Dupe from just over a month ago with the exact same thread title

I searched back a month.

Yeah its sorta local to me and I remember it came up not long ago.

Site search sucks. I always use google.

There's nothing particularly remarkable about it.

Eminent domain used to buy land, and kick people out in order to make room for a National Park.  The Fed didn't completely follow through on the idea, and now it sits abandoned and half completed.

Kids started making up stories about it.  Kind of like the abandoned camp we used to take our dates to in high school with its stories about albino cannibals, etc.  Drive back there, spook the girls, try to leave but slip the transmission into neutral, rev the engine, and announce, "Oh no, the car isn't working."  Same reason, you take a date to a scary movie. Fear, comfort, and oxytocin.

Now, if you want to argue about the Feds owning land, there's several threads on it.  Eminent domain?  Yes, it has been abused, but sometimes it's necessary.  In this case, it was a fuck up and a waste of time, money and effort.

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence, yadda yadda.

It's part of CVNP. It's not a big deal. Over hyped.

Maybe you should use the slingshot effect like in Tomorrow is Yesterday or Jump through history like in Guardian of Forever to search for prior posts.

ETA:

All bullshit.  I live 10 minutes away.

Hiked thru it many times.  It's just an area that was abandoned due to the park service taking over.

I think Waldo lives close by as well.....he will probably say the same.

There was a movie about it back in October...waste of time.

It's way more frightening to the north. On the eastside of Cleveland, you can find neighborhoods where people are murdered regularly.

If I had a warp drive the last thing I would worry about would be site search.

The Capt. has his priorities straight, poon and more poon
