Fort Lonesome, Florida
Fort Lonesome is a rural area located in southeastern Hillsborough County, Florida, United States, 36 miles (58 km) southeast of Tampa. A sawmill briefly revived the area with a few houses and three stores in the early 1930s. It was short-lived: a fire destroyed the mill and eventually the "town" disappeared. Today, it is mainly a farming region.

gollark: Minoteaur 8 is a blazingly concurrent™, actually quite fast™ Rust application using the slightly concurrent, very slow™ web platform for all UI stuff.
gollark: I guess I can just have revision history and make it take the latest one.
