Not a ghost town

I was reading my new issue of the BMW RA magazine last evening, specifically a piece about all of the great mountain passes we can ride when we go to the RA rally next month, when I got stopped dead in my tracks.
The passage about Hoosier Pass informs us that you can ride south over Hoosier Pass to visit “the ghost town of Alma.”
The author obviously hasn't been to Alma, which had an estimated population of 1,314 in 2010, along with a couple of bars, lots of shops, a liquor store, and at least one marijuana dispensary. Some ghost town.
