Uranium City - Life After the Mine

[Xhelil34]

I was born in UC and my whole family actually talk about it alot. Ya it was actually a health hazard living there , but none of us knew. My father Jim Muzaci founded the restaurant Muzaci's Diner and was very succesfull with it too. From what he says it was a better time a peaceful time and i see it in his eyes and others from there that they do miss it.

Me and a bunch of friends plan to go to Uranium city if the zombie apocalypse ever happens. The most remote town from miles!

I worked in Eldorado for 10 years and my Children were born in Uranium City,but most

video clips I have seen are a disappointment to me.Anybody with good pics from the late

fifties and early sixties please Post.

I was born there too, loooooooooong time ago 1959! I went to Chernobyl Belarus and it reminds me of this film,,People never believe it when I say I was born there!

Re: talking about addictions in the video ... how are they even getting drugs into the city?? It's not like you can just drive up there from PA or what not.

[johnmw13]

is it radioactive in that area

[donmont10]

@johnmw13 no, the mines that surrounded it were closed down in the 80's soo the population who worked at the mines left the city and, after the hospital closed in 2003 the population fell further fromm 300 to about 80 some xp

ElliotLake was in the same place they lost all their mines but luckily managed to pull back and get a steady population. I wouldn't bring any child up there its damn empty and Vacant looking ugh

[WillSkateForTacos]

ghost town

[StormLou]

HAHAHA . i live there!

[460FORDCREW4X4]

I've never been there but the documentary and comments do touch deep inside. I have driven through several similar towns on road trips, lonely remains of once thriving communities. Great work in picking up all the feelings loneliness and emotions, so well done that the first time I saw the video documentary was with the speakers off and it was all there as if I were listening to the narrative... Cheers!!!

[Rickertsred]

Reminds me of the town of Centralia Pa. It's a ghost town now due to a mine fire burning under the town.

[whattheheck1000]

I was born 10 years after Uranium City abandoned but would LOVE to take a trip there. It's like a time capsule.

[dr15700]

There's not much left... I was up there teaching for a year in 1994-1995.

[whattheheck1000]

Candu High School, quite a few houses I bet?

[BasiaGrech]

I was born there back in the day and now ...WOW...it is a different dismal sort of place. You really captured the feel of the demise and a bit of the possibilty of some hope? Where can you go from here? The photogrgaphy is fantatsic!
