While the town of Casablanca is not real, the fact that ten towns were actually intentionally flooded, submerged, and forever buried under water is all too real. Yes, the St. Lawrence Seaway project actually killed 10 towns. Known as "The Lost Villages", the flooded and buried villages were Aultsville, Dickinson's Landing, Farran's Point, Maple Grove, Mille Roches, Moulinette, Santa Cruz, Sheek's Island, Wales and Woodlands.]]> http://www.mangemerde.com/flooded-and-buried-town-in-the-sentimentalists-based-on-true-story/feed/ http://www.mangemerde.com/the-great-ipad-2-auction/ http://www.mangemerde.com/the-great-ipad-2-auction/#comments Tue, 22 Mar 2011 18:10:16 +0000 Annie Observations http://www.mangemerde.com/the-great-ipad-2-auction/ http://www.mangemerde.com/the-great-ipad-2-auction/feed/ http://www.mangemerde.com/whats-your-sign-what-did-it-used-to-be-new-zodiac-dates-required-says-planetarium-society/ http://www.mangemerde.com/whats-your-sign-what-did-it-used-to-be-new-zodiac-dates-required-says-planetarium-society/#comments Fri, 14 Jan 2011 03:15:16 +0000 Annie Observations WTF? http://www.mangemerde.com/whats-your-sign-what-did-it-used-to-be-new-zodiac-dates-required-says-planetarium-society/ http://www.mangemerde.com/whats-your-sign-what-did-it-used-to-be-new-zodiac-dates-required-says-planetarium-society/feed/ http://www.mangemerde.com/tool-using-octopus-caught-on-film-video-of-veined-octopus-building-coconut-shell-house/ http://www.mangemerde.com/tool-using-octopus-caught-on-film-video-of-veined-octopus-building-coconut-shell-house/#comments Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:41:28 +0000 Annie Things I Like http://www.mangemerde.com/tool-using-octopus-caught-on-film-video-of-veined-octopus-building-coconut-shell-house/ http://www.mangemerde.com/tool-using-octopus-caught-on-film-video-of-veined-octopus-building-coconut-shell-house/feed/ http://www.mangemerde.com/please-take-a-moment-to-send-positive-thoughts-for-this-wounded-sea-lion/ http://www.mangemerde.com/please-take-a-moment-to-send-positive-thoughts-for-this-wounded-sea-lion/#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:39:20 +0000 Annie Serious http://www.mangemerde.com/please-take-a-moment-to-send-positive-thoughts-for-this-wounded-sea-lion/ FABShows.org and @AnimalRescueGal on Twitter) just emailed me.
