Isn’t this the place that inspired the coal fires you see in the Dan Akroyd movie “Nothing But Trouble?”

    I think you're right! I read the wiki article about the movie and it says:

    [Aykroyd] set the story in the fictional town of Valkenvania, which was based loosely on the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania.

    Good catch!
