Elsie Eiler is Monowi’s mayor, librarian, pub owner, and sole resident! The 94-year-old Nebraskan keeps parts of the town up and running for tourists passing through, and refuses to leave. “I know I could always move closer to my children or stay with them whenever I want, but then I’d have to make all new friends again,” Eiler said. If you head to the Monowi Tavern, you’ll find reasonable prices: Hamburgers cost just $3.50, and hot dogs are only $1.25 each. (The Sun)
