Go have a look at this incredible online interactive multimedia mind blowing documentary about the town of Pine Point way up in Canada's Northwest Territories. The mine built it, a community grew, the mine closed, the town was completely razed.
This site is a testament to people and memory and postindustrial spaces totally unlike anything else.
