Do we still wish we were?

I don't know.

To be a...a population of one and the

population of two and you're both

in the same county in the same state.

I think that's pretty wonderful.

What is the population of Monowi?

Population one, me.

The population of Gross Nebraska

is one, two.

One, two.

We don't have enough people.

It's nothing against the town.

It's nothing against the people

running the businesses.

We simply have run out of people in this

this area.

All we have in town is the bank vault

that remains from the gross State bank.

And we have a community hall, and then

our house and

a trailer house across the street.

We had a high school here.

There was church until pulled maybe the

mid sixties.

We have the same paperwork and everything

to fill out that Omaha and New York City

and every other city has.

We don't have an election for mayor.

I just let him keep that job.

The young folks or any that go from here

to the city.

They can adjust pretty well and make a

good life there.

But you take somebody that's born and

raised in the city,

and they usually just can't hack it out

in this area.

Never gets lonely living in a town, dude.

There's always somebody passing through.

Values are different.

You don't have everything at your fingertips,

so you just learn to sitting and

converse more.

I'm not here because I have to be.

I can close up and leave here

anytime I want to go wherever I wanted.
