That's because you're ignorant. Often entire towns disappear.
Happens often when the powers that be build a by-pass and then to add
insult to injury they build an Interstate... The Borscht Belt is no

Sqwertz, that to make such a statement you've never ventured further
than 1,000 yards from your front door, and you have the IQ of an
ameoba.
