One day, I want to visit Uranium City, Saskatchewan. One day in about... 24,000 hours.

It's expensive to go from Tennessee to the boonies of Canada. It's three years to save money and plan. It's an abandoned, rotting, decrepit... time capsule to the early 1980s! And it's a whole town! Houses, apartments, abandoned buildings, even a really nice high school. About 100 people still live there and there's a functioning airport (with flights).

Oh, understood. Thought there was something about 2019 in particular that you liked.

It'll be expensive to fly up there, but accommodation should be pretty cheap and dinner won't cost $50 a day. After all, how many people want to go to an abandoned town in the middle of nowhere?

Also, DEFINITELY a trip to make in the summer. Not a trip for November - March, anytime. I would say, since it's a faraway place with little infrastructure, the weather should be mild. The window would be late May to early September.

I wonder what it was like back about 40 years ago. Maybe a bustling town? Probably a good area for mining uranium (hence the name).


I think to make it more adventurous, you should drive to Saskatoon and take a train to UC if you can do that of course lol perhaps drive a Honda Accord up there.

You should do it in September, you'll see some beautiful colors, experience some nice and chilly fall weather after a long, hot Tennessee summer and not have to deal with freezing cold quite yet.

I used Uranium City as an example of de-industrialization on a Human Geography exam at uni in 2014!

I also used the place's climate to scare folks since we were at the same latitude

It sounds like some kind of radioactive place. Do they mine uranium in that area for choosing such a name?
