The sole remaining resident (Monowi: business, county, places)

[Cida]

Kind of sweet, or kind of sad, depending on your perspective.


The Last Resident of Monowi
The tavern serves as one of the last gathering places for the remaining residents of the county. But the Monowi Tavern won’t last forever. One day not long from now, Mrs. Eiler will be gone, and with no one else to take it over, Monowi is likely to be wiped from the map.

Both, I think. There are a lot of ghost towns in the Plains states; it's sad to think there will soon be another one. But it's nice to know someone still values the place enough to stay.
