I heard rumor that Concrete city has been leveled. Can anyone confirm?

Really? I was down there a couple months ago... I wouldn't doubt it though

There were rumors they wanted to turn the area into a practice field for the SWB Yankees. I know the place was dangerous, however it is also historic. It would be cool if at least 1 was saved somehow. But I am sure it would cost more then it would be worth.

I haven't heard anything. I know there are some geocaches in that area and I haven't seen anything posted about them being disabled. There is some history behind CC, I owuld think they would try and preserve it.

I had not heard any thing about it being torn down. I do remember hearing something about the property being given to nanticoke.

I trained there when I was a vol. fireman.

The people who trained there let it go to pot.

Ok, I'll bite. What is Concrete City?

Concrete city was an old mineing facility. Later in its life it was used as a training facility for local fire deptments. It was a good place because the buildings were all made of poured concrete.

I do not believe that the property was owned by any of the firemen who trained there. I had trained there over thirty years ago.

The local college has just built a new training center.
