I am making a Google doc with all the Sundown towns and counties (both historical and present) from your responses. You can see me fill in the places in real time now! #LovecraftCountry https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KJJrsnS-YJeoDGhvOy6MPP4YcCpd3bO9-QLZtCuF5PI/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...
Alright everybody, I wrote down over 200 historical and current sundown towns and counties in the link below (based off your responses).
Some were surprising--many in Oregon, a few in Canada!
