Union Grove Community Center

Hey everyone! Got another one for ya. I accidentally found this one. I was on my way to Camden and spotted it off to the side of the road and had to stop to investigate. It actually turned out to be worth the trouble. Here's my link : http://arkansas.rightanglepro.com/UnionGrove.html

It is ashame, but that's what you call poor people... after a while people move away from an area and the things the community worked so hard to accomplish just get left and forgotten about. I'm afraid it happens all of the time... I know near Steelville Mo, there is an abandoned 1960's school building sitting by the highway and it looks like it would have been a decent facility still if it had been taken care of. I also see this more commonly in Colorado. Tons of abandoned towns, mines, mining equipment, train tunnels, abandoned railroad lines... you name it and there's an over abundance of abandoned things in the Colorado Mountains.

Gilman in particular...the motherload. Is there anything that even comes close to what Gilman is?

Try St. Elmo, or a bunch of old mining camps around there, or the Leadville area... Near Leadville out by Turquois Lake there is an old railroad bed that goes up to where the highest and longest wooden railroad trussel used to be (it hadn't been used in 100 years and had colapsed a long time ago). The line used to go from Leadville to Aspen mainly for mining purposes.

Nothing I can find actually shows the mining part of Gilman. I think everyone seems to believe a majority of Gilman is all the buildings from the 70s. It's in the UE DB at UER.

Damn uer and this level 3 nonsense!

I figured that would come into play.

You could just take my word and believe that it's one of the things i would like to explore someday. But it's probably going to be torn down soon anyway. Some contractor bought it and wants to build houses on the land.

Sorry to bring that into play but it is a little frustrating sometimes. I will take your word for it, and hopefully will meet some of you level 3ers soon so I can prove myself worthy of looking at the real database on uer. Or maybe not.
