Don't go to Midland...It's gone!

            This is the name of a book authored in 1970 by Charles Hillinger. At the time, Hillinger notes that all but 48 houses of the town were left standing when the U.S. Gypsum plant closed in 1966 after 40 years. The company torn down the community center, school, plant and most of the houses.The last 22 standing burnt to the ground in 1973.

Midland is now a ghost town...without much of a town.

Someone set up a chair and full beer on the foundation the U.S. Gypsum plant just for Donna to sit and view the beautiful landscape.

Hey!!! Where the hell is the ACLU?
