The Presents Are Open, And I'm Already Shopping Well, I might be if I had enough money for this town. That's right, a town is for sale on Ebay.These days, only the post office is still going, a homey spot that features a display of blue-ribbon ceramics by local schoolchildren and a couple of bookcases that serve as an informal lending library.Sounds absolutely darling, doesn't it? Check out the neighbors...
Bridgeville was founded some years after the Gold Rush, according to a history put together by the Lapple family, the current owners. The town was part of an overland stage route to the seaport of Eureka.Logging jobs dried up here decades ago and many area residents are poor. The area is home to ranchers, artistic types drawn by the region's rugged beauty and, according to locals, a thriving marijuana horticulture.Good times.
Only a few people live in the section up for sale. Among the tenants is Carrie Erickson, who shares a small house with her boyfriend, baby daughter, a blind pit bull and a dog with a penchant for lying in the middle of the road. (Emphasis mine.)
