Ghost Towns

I bet the Canadians here can tell me if it's pronounced "kit'soo" not "kit'salt"? My dad was born in Sault Ste Marie, and they always pronounced that name as "soo"??

I think I'll find other places like that and make the thread all about "ghost towns" or abandoned places;) Glad you enjoyed it Pappy. I do want to find out if the guy made his deadline of 2011;)
 
I guess that just a grammar thing then hey, since it is Sault (soo) Ste Marie right? I'm looking for something else like a Ghost Town, or buildings/house abandoned. They always make me wonder about the people that lived there, what happened, and why some just lie in waste:(
 
Oh geez, this is a long vid, but wow, I never understood the devistation til I watched this:(

It comes from the Nisga'a language and it's native spelling would be closer to Gits'oohl (so maybe your pronunciation effort would be closer as opposed to the video pronunciation - learned something Denise so thanks!) and means 'at the inside, a ways in back of something, etc'.

But maybe the 'white guy' pronunciation when the region was first settled hundreds of years ago saw it as Kit-salt? Not sure, but there you go, the origins.

A little from every state that I found on weather.com:

Wow, thanks Bonnie, I thought that mine in Alaska was neat but I always feel sad at abandoned places. Those psychiatric hospitals were creepy. I didn't know the story surround the Tillamook Lighthouse. Lots of neat stuff, loved it!! Denise
