Boy, are we winners up here in the Poconos. This isn’t the first time our area has made national headlines for some kind of goofy screwup (wish I could remember the exact circumstances of the others, but my brain deleted it in favor of other stuff it considers more important), but this is probably the best one I can think of. East Stroudsburg Area School District, a neighboring district to my own alma mater, Pleasant Valley, accidentally sold a $46,000 classroom trailer on Ebay for $1. Guess somebody forgot to click that “set reserve” button.
Speaking of real estate oddities, it may not be a dollar, but hey, you could teach your kids about the difference between stalagmites and stalactites in your own living room! A family in Festus, Missouri may have to sell their cave home on Ebay if they can’t come up with some cash. The house has a wooden front, but inside has natural cave walls and ceilings, plus the usual amenities of water, sewer, and electricity, and a tricked-out kitchen, from what I hear. The listing is already set up on Ebay, but they remembered to set a reserve, at least; bidding starts at $300,000.
My question is—if I move there, do I have to start sleeping upside-down?
Beware the sound of crying children, watch out for the barmaids, and whatever you do, don't let the Pegasus spit on you.
