Monowi, Nebraska Population 1

I have never heard of this town in Nebraska. I think it's pretty cool.

Neat.

I would love to stop there sometime.

Good read. I'd never even heard of that town. I thought Star, NE was Nebraska's smallest town. That part of Nebraska is pretty much out in the middle of nowhere.

i think ill pass.. she should go up and hang up with the tweaker lady on "life below zero"

 

[suh_fan93]

Sue (Life Below Zero) is weird. She doesn't seem like that at all. I guess I'm missing the comparison here.

Larry the Cable guy did a segment on Monowi on his traveling the US show he had for a while. The lady was very nice and he helped her raise money for I think it was a library in honor of her husband, IIRC.

The article in Grantland mentions the library that was built in memory of her husband.

Nice article. +1

I kinda got the creeps reading the first half of this article. I was expecting the writer to walk into one of these deserted buildings and find a bunch of bodies or something. Or finally find the lone resident, who never speaks but instead just carries a lantern and beckons him to follow her to an old cemetary.

I'm glad it had a happy ending, though.

I have actually been to Monowi, driven through it 3-4 times when we were on car scavenger hunts.

LOL...you have never been to "nowhere" if you think that's "nowhere".

I think that's what the author was expecting.
