Pleasant enough place with an interesting downtown area that is largely intact from the towns glory days in the early twentieth century.

Centralia has an interesting and violent history which for understandable reasons the local Chamber of Commerce doesn't talk much about. In 1919 it was the site of the Centralia Massacre, a contentious and murderous battle between members of the American Legion and the International Workers of the World that resulted in the deaths of about half a dozen people and the lynching of one more.

A don't miss spot is the Olympic Club, a restored "gentleman's resort" that is now a bar, restaurant, billiard room, movie house complex. Great taps, good food and a fine ambience.

Nice town. Growing alot. Can't wait for the Hub City Car show!!!!!
