Interestingly, it was the river that drew me to the area originally. Vulture City was sort of a bonus :-)diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-56570916734877708572015-06-16T17:06:22.594-06:002015-06-16T17:06:22.594-06:00It's sad to me when towns dry up and become gh...It's sad to me when towns dry up and become ghost towns. :(<br /><br />I was also thinking the Vulture City was an interesting name.

I believe it was the irony of coming so close to riches and then being cheated and living to see how others prospered because of him that had to be very hard.<br /><br />I learned so much in this post.

Somehow a place called Vulture City doesn't seem like it would have good marketing prospects.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
