1513 - Places

Well somebody yesterday looked at the link to sparsely populated places. They pick out a town in Missouri that has a population of ... zero. Florida, Missouri. That's right, the town, Florida, still exists but no one lives there. I don't know how that can be but apparently it can.

So what's so interesting otherwise about Florida Missouri? It's where Samuel Clemons, aka Mark Twain, was born. Back then it was a bustling metropolis of 180 people. Now it's got a few summer homes but no permanent residents. Total area, .1 sq mi. And that's where the Mark Twain museum is. I have a feeling the museum and park grounds make up most of the town.

Maybe I'll find some reason to go there one day and take a few pictures. It will have to be a good reason because this place is in the middle of the woods and not accessible by any major highway.
