Editorial Summary

The creators travel to Monowi, Nebraska, which they identify as the smallest town in the United States with a population of one. They describe the journey through the rural Midwest, noting the vast farmland and lack of traffic. Upon arrival, they meet the sole resident, Elsie, a 91-year-old woman who operates the local tavern. The creators learn that Elsie serves as the town's mayor, clerk, treasurer, and librarian. They visit the tavern to eat and drink, noting its kitschy decor and the history Elsie shares regarding the town's former population of over 150 residents. The video also features a tour of the town's tiny library, a small shed containing historical documents from 1905. Following their visit to Monowi, the creators travel to Omaha, Nebraska, where they explore the city's urban landscape, art galleries, and Allison's childhood homes. The trip concludes with their return to Missouri, where they prepare for upcoming wedding festivities and an Alaskan cruise.
