This is a very creepy place.

This is menglewood, made famous by the greatful dead though they misspelled it. I live close to it. It's an abandoned box factory that closed down when world war one ended. There are huge vats which were once filled with boiling chemicals used to treat lumber. In 1931 some kids discovered the vats filled with water and went for a swim. One of those kids drown so the state busted holes in the vats and drained them. Upon draining them, they discovered human remains no less than 33 people were found. It is believed that they were slaves who were boiled alive in the 1800s.

In Tennessee? Or Kentucky?
It's embarrassing to think at the end of the civil war Kentucky decided to succeed from the union. Wonder what the speaker said... Hmmm... I know,
"Shut up."

@WeighedDown I bet there are many. You think they booked slaves as a medical experiment or meanness

@WeighedDown there's a town called Greenville here in Texas Northeast of Dallas that has a large picture of a city celebration a few years back bragging, Greenville the city with the blackest dirt and the whitest people. This picture is at City Hall. You can't avoid it.

@WeighedDown the sign stayed up until the 80s
