Dont think we have the full story here, or all the pictures.
I have no doubt that the pictures were chosen carefully in an effort to show the town at it's best.
From the article:
"When Daniel passed away it was just so devastating," said Rose Valentine, who lives just outside town. "(Bridgeville) is kind of looking pretty shabby again. It's pretty sad."
I'm sure that houses are in pretty bad shape, as well as much of the infrastructure. Still, you get 83 acres and a unique opportunity for $1.3 Million, or thereabouts.
Probably worth a look-see if you're in the market for that sort of thing.
