My parents and I used to drive through there all the time on our way to stuff. I remember thinking how odd it was for the townhouses that were partially demolished - for example, the first unit might've been torn down, but the second unit was still standing. To reinforce the second unit, they'd build brick chimney-like structures against the wall of the second unit. Very strange looking (look around, there are pictures of them).
It's not entirely a ghost town - there are a few residents left. Like 5 or something.
If you do go, be mindful of the fact that people do live there. Also, carefully study the Google Maps of the area so that you can see where the bypassed Route 61 is in relation to the town - it doesn't actually bypass the town as is sometimes reported. There are hundreds of pictures on the web of it, and it's quite visible in Google Maps/Earth these days, so visiting is basically unnecessary any more.
