Does “Bombing Range Road” mean what it says?
I can’t wait to see the listing price for Detriot.
***Local newspapers report that the small town once had a functioning bank, grocery stores, a church, a high school and even a hotel in its early days. ****
Sounds like several towns I used to live in in New Mexico. Functioning in the early 1900s dead by 1960.

Was there a nearby town called Change? :)
At that price, this will be snapped up today.
What happened to Organ?
“I can’t wait to see the listing price for Detriot.”
I think pieces of it are selling for $1.

What about ‘Change’?
****Was there a nearby town called Change? :)****
We lived in HOPE, and called it Dispair!
***What happened to Organ?****
Never lived in Organ but from what I’ve read,it went the way of Ingalls Ok.
I was told by a customer of mine in Detroit that they are giving people $25K loans to buy and fix up houses in Detroit. The catch is you need to LIVE in the house for five years. At the end of five years the loan is forgiven.
It is like urban homesteading(we are going to give you a 1/4 acre and a mule).

A Remington 870 would be more appropriate to the setting than a mule.
Do I get the mineral rights to the underlying content? Or is there some widespread deal from the 1800s that I have to submit to if I buy?
Also looks like an owner will be subject to state or federal restrictions as it appears to be within the Badlands National Park.
Can it be renamed Galt’s Gulch??
I think, were I in the Hotel business, I would build a Drury there.

Everything south of HW70 is abandoned - everything north is a trailer park.
Still, it is midway between LC, NM, WSMR, and NASA WSMR. At the TDY rate, and in that location, it would sell out every day.
What I can’t figure out is why all the buildings south of HW 70 are abondoned. Been driving me buggy for years.

Two other formerly real towns where my dad lived were Branson Colorado and Flosom NM, along with Farley.
Farley had a railroad stop, feed store, general store, school, blacksmith shop, bar, roller skating rink, and a race track. It is a ghost town today.
