To give you an idea of my age, I graduated in 1982. Sometime around then I started hearing the stories of Midgetville. One night a friend said she knew where it was, and took a group of us there. She drove us down the road that runs next to the McDonald's in Annandale. It was very disappointing and didn't live up to the hype at all. No midgets and the houses weren't even that small.
Some years later and a new group of friends, late one night a girl says let's go to Midgetville. I told her how there was no such place and about my previous trip. She informed me that where I'd been previously wasn't Midgetville at all. The real one was out past Merrifield. So, needless to say, a bunch of us piled into her car and headed out. We ended up at a gravel road that was blocked of with a chain with a no trespassing sign hanging on it. Someone, I think the person riding shotgun, got out and took down the chain and off we went. It was sort of a big loop, and sure enough, the houses were all tiny. This would've been sometime in the early 90's and it was obvious people still lived there at the time. There were a few lights on here and there. We made almost all the way around the loop when we were stopped by a very angry man on foot brandishing a bat. He wasn't a midget, but he sure was mad. I was pretty drunk and hunkered down in the back seat laughing so I don't remember what he was yelling, but after a bit he let us by and we took off out of there, never to return.
Years later I heard it was abandoned and I always wanted to go explore, but it torn down before I ever got around to it. There used to be some pictures on flickr someone took after it was abandoned. I'll go look for them and post a link if I can find them.
Here's the link:

P.S. Damaged is full of shit. In the 80's people still lived there.
