I was watching the tv and "Only In America" came on and he visited a town called MONOWI and it has a population of 1. That person runs a bar/restaurant, and the library, she is the Mayor, the Police, the Tax collector as well as anything else involved with running a town.
People come from a long way just to stop into the MONOWI Bar and Grill which keeps the town going.
This was a sprawling town until the railroad changed locations and one by one, everyone moved away.
May be an interesting place for anyone that needs a place to stop for the night or week, has a nice restaurant and a town to explore the past.
Just thought I'd drop that bombshell, lolol

It's a big open area, most of the homes are gone or in a decaying condition. Lots of room for a open ralley, lololol Food at the bar and I am sure she, the population 1, would like the company I am sure. Go visit the library, she runs that too. They talked to her on tv and she was almost like one of the GMC'ers. lololol
Good Idea.
