ColoradoHusk Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have never heard of this town in Nebraska. I think it's pretty cool. http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/84811/rembert-explains-america-a-trip-to-monowi-nebraska-americas-one-woman-town 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I would love to stop there sometime. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 i think ill pass.. she should go up and hang up with the tweaker lady on "life below zero" Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Sue (Life Below Zero) is weird. She doesn't seem like that at all. I guess I'm missing the comparison here. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment

Ulty Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have actually been to Monowi, driven through it 3-4 times when we were on car scavenger hunts. Quote Link to comment
