The weirdest small towns in the United States are weird for many different reasons. And of the top 20 on the list, it should come as no surprise that 3 of them are right here in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a list compiled by Ranker<\/a>, the top 20 towns were compiled as a bit of a travel guide to the weirdest small towns in America. Number one is Centralia, Pennsylvania. Not many people live there anymore because an abandoned coal mine is on fire underneath the town, and has been since 1962. The town\u2019s main road is hot to the touch and there\u2019s no end in sight. Experts say the fire could last another 250 years.<\/p>\n\n\n

Just learning about Miracle Village a place in Florida in the middle of sugarcane fields where hundreds of sex offenders live. It's a Christian Ministry run by a man who is also a sex offender. pic.twitter.com\/Gs7HbOdpjd<\/a><\/p>— Billy Tractor ? (@tractor_owner) September 7, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
