Towns wiped off the face of the earth

From the Associated Press:
CHATTOOGAVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Poetry Tulip has vanished. So have Due West and Po Biddy Crossroads. Cloudland and Roosterville are gone, too. A total of 488 communities have been erased from the latest version of Georgia’s official map, victims of too few people and too many letters of type.
Here's a link to a Christian Science Monitor story on the situation. If this disappears and you want to find out about this, just Google "Poetry Tulip" and "map."
