Cheap? $90,000 an acre is cheap? Don't sound that cheap to me. In the middle of nowhere, where the men are men and the sheep are scared.

$90.00 an acre is not cheap.

I would like to know what the new owner's plans are for the land.

It is actually in a nice location between Laramie and Cheyenne.

Doesn't seem like the brightest investors, if one really wanted land in Wyoming, one can get it way cheaper. That owner was very smart in marketing "America's smallest town" as a novelty so people with more money than brains would bid on it.

A Vietnamese town within the United States of America?

yup, dirt cheap.

What's next to go on the block? Detroit?

If American land is going to start being sold to foreigners they should make them bleed money for it...
