CNN reports, someone in Italy placed the winning bid of $3.8 million on Friday in an online auction for an unpopulated, one-house Texas town. The town of Albert, Texas, includes a tavern that's open on weekends.
No one lives permanently in the 13-acre town of Albert, about 60 miles north of San Antonio, but the tavern created from the frame of the old general store is open on weekends. The town also includes a pavilion, an 85-year-old dance hall, a tractor shed, a three-bedroom house, plus peach and pecan orchards.
I am curious to know more about the italian who bought the town, and why.
