Stuck In Time

Just this small little town abandoned years ago Where everyone went nobody will ever know Once thriving with most working assembly line That was until things came in by freight line A town once with a downtown that was thriving Now a town with zero possibility of reviving Left untouched as if someone will welcome me Frozen in time as if it was still nineteen forty Holiday decorations were yet to be taken down Closed signs remaining on doors downtown Stores still stocked as it would have appeared Dusty from sitting there over so many years Those passing through today can only imagine Why the town was abandoned and forgotten

this is great and what would make it even better? add a real life name of a city that currently exists to the end. Shock people
