Paradis' comment is #3 below the original article. What was the use of painting a house if it were to be covered with water in six months? Why repair anything when the whole village was to be wiped out? So, week by week, the whole town became more and more bedraggled, more gone to seed, more woebegone.In addition, one of the commentators, Richard Paradis, added an article which is well worth reading about another Maine town that, while not drowned, was emptied out and left, graveyards and all, because of another project, near Frye Mountain. In addition to posting this video, Tom posted some interesting info about accounts of Flagstaff memories, including this: In the months before it was to be flooded, all improvements and repairs in the whole town were stopped. The song is called 'Below,' and I found myself listening to it over and over again after I found a post by Tom Remington about it on the Black Bear Blog. (see our prior posts on this subject here) The song spent three weeks at number one and 10 weeks in total in. Slaid Cleaves has a great song about Maine's drowned town on Dead River, Flagstaff. Ghost Town is a song by the British two-tone band the Specials, released on 12 June 1981.
