Can we talk about the tiny Nebraska town that got famous for a 40 second drone video

I drove 6 hours to Monowi, Nebraska last spring because some viral clip showed the whole town is just one lady, Elsie Eiler, who is mayor, bartender, and librarian all at once. I figured it was overhyped until I actually sat at her bar, had a burger for $7, and watched her hand me a library card with a stamp that said 'Population: 1'. Has anyone else visited a place that only blew up online and found it way better than the hype?

Ha, yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way with a "famous" roadside attraction in Ohio that was literally just a fence with a sign. Monowi sounds like the real deal though, I'd take one good bar over a million likes any day.
