It's like watching two worlds collide. A new list of the Illinois places that have the hottest average temperatures also includes an infamous place that has been declared among the most abandoned towns in America, too.
Since I was born and raised in Missouri, I've been to and through St. Louis many times. I've also traveled through many ghost towns which is why I'm perplexed at a new study that claims this big metro is really a 'modern ghost town'. There's some real science that proves that really is the case.
There are some things that will never cease to be a mystery. That is definitely the case for one tiny Missouri town that was prominent enough to have a post office back in the day, but now has no remnant remaining that it ever exited. It simply is extinct.
