Welcome to Sunset Boulevard......
... located in Empire, Nevada, which...
"...was once a thriving company town. United
States Gypsum (USG) owned the town including the land, homes and town
facilities. In January of 2011, USG permanently closed its operations in
Empire. Over 300 people were forced to leave and a chain link fence
surrounds the entire town to this day. Today, Empire is touted as
'America's newest ghost town.'"
There's a nicely-made Video about Empire, made by a talented young man with a poetic eye, whom we met in Ventura, John Thomas Rose -Take a look here!
You can see more of John's work here.
Enjoy!
