Elliott City is dying that's why all the positive media coverage. It was totally flooded out in the last store immediately after the citizens of Maryland rebuilt Elliott City after the previous flooding. The authorities decided not to rebuild so I am assuming a lot young wealthy eletes have moved out - no citizens - no economy - no crime. So - move to Ghost town Elliott City 😂
