ghost towns
definition: Ghost towns are examples of failed community. A ghost town once sustained a population, economic activity, and culture; it once exhibited an economic vitality, a sense of community, and patterns of activity—commerce, employment, clubs, lodges, churches, and schools—that match those of communities that survive.
