Elsie Eiler walks past an abandoned building that was once a general store slowly decaying in Monowi, Nebraska April 28, 2011. At its peak in the 1930's the town had 150 residents but after the railroad left it began to decline. Now down to a population of just one, Monowi is the only incorporated town, village or city in the United States with just a single resident. The general store closed when World War II started and the owner moved out of town to serve on the draft board. REUTERS/Rick Wilking (UNITED STATES)
