People talk about how she lives alone but gets many visitors, but people seem to forget the town of Gross he saw with only 2 residents, and since it’s overshadowed by Modowi, the smallest town, it doesn’t get many visitors. So really, Gross is the true most mysterious town.
She reminded me of my great grandmother she hated being in big crowds and the big city because she grew up in a small town in Australia and moved here after ww2. It didn’t matter when or why you could always go up to her house and talk to her even if it was 3 am. And she was never scared to tell you how she felt about something
My mom would be like your grand mother she is a person who avoids talking to others but on occasion she might see me or my siblings or very nice people to chat with.
Bingo. But if this nosey joker showed up at my place, I would ask him one time to leave me alone. I would be respectful, but if he kept talking and bothering me, something would happen.
People don’t realize she’s all alone a few hrs away from the nearest person!!! No one to run too when there trouble, No one if something goes wrong, she’s totally self sufficient, absolutely incredible. wish you woulda asked her about if there is anything spooky abt living alone out there, or about what she does when she needs medical care. Very interesting
You know, even though the town has only one person, it's size is only 134 acres, which gives it a significantly higher population density than many other towns
I'm from Nebraska originally and Elsie reminds me so much of my great-grandmother and my other older relatives. Pretty much all of them shared her sense of humor and were self-reliant well into their 90s. Most Nebraskans, even ones who live in larger towns, are often raised to be self-reliant, kind, and welcoming even to strangers. I remember when I was younger and my grandpa would stop and have 10-15 minute conversations with people and when he was done I would ask who that was and he would say, "I have no idea".
I’m with Elsie in crowds, I live in 🇬🇧in a medium sized northern town, if I go into the town centre it can be fairly busy, I can walk sort of straight and move for a few people, no stress at all. But in cities, particularly London 🤦🏼♀️you can’t take 2 steps without changing route, instead of a soft wavy line route it’s more of a sharp zigzag. Not my idea of fun at all and downright stressful!
I love Elsie ❤ She’s a take no nonsense kind of woman, and tough as nails. I first saw her in a video by Kara & Nate, when they were driving around the US. They also stopped in Monowi, and met this little spitfire.
as a Canadian living in Alberta, this is not a surprise to me, we have our fair share of small towns and empty spaces as well. because of work I drove by small towns a lot, most of the folks living in places like this are usually friendly, genuine and more talkative than I expect them to be. from what I feel, most of these small town people live in there because they have been living in there for most of their lives, and they accustomed themselves into that life style.
Elsie is NOT 90 yet lol. Only 88. I’m from Nebraska I love history and small villages. I’m about 4 hours away from Monowi and I’ve known about it for 6 or 7 years now. I still haven’t made my way up there to visit with Elise and admire the decaying of the small town. Elsie is a individual that you’d might want her to live for ever lol. I mean without her their is no more Monowi. And let’s say when she dies one of her kids move there. It still won’t be the same. Although It’s still good that her child took over. I e told my friend about this and he doesn’t even live in the united states. He thought that was so bizarre especially when i mentioned her old age.
I'm Nebraskan, after watching this, I now really wanna go to monowi, it's only a few hours away so I'm gonna talk to my parents about it before watching the videos I'd say the reason most of these places have nobody is cause the majority of us are in big cities like Lincoln and Omaha
Kara and Nate did a great video of this place and Elsie. They also asked permission to enter the buildings. She has regulars come in every day, it's a popular spot to eat.
I had seen Kara and Nate's video and it was so nice, they did a great job showcasing the town and interacting with Elsie. Meanwhile, the intro to this video was so annoying to me, all the assumptions and comment of there being something sinister going on was too much for me lol I went straight to the comments😂
I live in a small town in Oklahoma called Arcadia, but with Edmond growing I think we are gonna be overrun, the population dropped from around 200 to 150 and is declining it says, and it kinda looks like this but some places aren't abondanded
Be alone? The nearest town to her with an actual population is only 15 Minutes away. And no. There is a bunch of people that keep visiting her every single day
I grew up in a small town called Dalton, Missouri I believe it's got a population of around 7 the town's mainly used as farm land and other farming things. The biggest news out of there was a barn exploding (thanks propane) and when a Disney parade took place there in the 90's
So heart warming to see a woman of her age wanting to be there for people. There is a big lesson to learn from this beautiful soul. Elsie you rock love. Blessings to you
He's looking through the windows of the ghost town and the window reflects a parking lot with lots of cars! Bet there's a lone restaurant/truck stop or something.
My dad actually grew up near Monowi and my family and I live only an hour away from Monowi. One of the menu items the Heiser Special is actually named after my grandfather
I've noticed that elderly people that are actively working actual jobs of some kind are so much more alert and normal seeming than other elderly people.
Amazing video, Isaiah! However there is a potentially smaller one. Hum, Croatia. While it's population is much more than Monowi, it is actually the smallest town in the world, as someone who lives 1 hour away from Hum it disappoint's me that you didn't go there. I understand though, it's a bit pointless to go all the way to Europe (And eventually Croatia) just for a video.

i feel relief knowing there are actually people visiting her everyday.
Here or there? Bc I’m confused, di u live there?
Err werr 😢
I know 😢
Why? She choose to live there
Her = as in the the lady
Elsie is so great for running the tavern and village all by herself, mad respect.
Clearly she doesn’t.
@@Graymennshe’s only one person
@@Ilovekanye50 yea
Elsie is the answer why everybody left, if you know what I MEAN

Hey
Imagine Gross is just the past Monowi with another sweet old lady running a tavern with her loving husband.
Yea I the town of gross gets overshadowed my modowi so they’re probably more lonely then her which is pretty sad
@@jotaro7940 what are you doing here, your supposed to be dead. Silly Jotaro
She's right about the privacy part in city you don't have any privacy...
In the city people are more paranoid mainly because people do more drugs..

@@WilliamHollinger2019 great!
Elsie is so wholesome! It’s so cool that a 90 year old is still willing to do so much! Thanks Isaiah for more interesting content ❤
Elsie for mayor!!!!!
@@dertpert technically, she is since she is the only resident and has the badge
@@Mass1fy Then we can advance: ELSIE FOR PRESIDENT!!
wow
@@dertpert no Elsie for QUEEN
Amazing to see Elsie moving around and mentally sharp at her age!
But she doesn’t like Oprah and Rosie O’Donell. You know what that means lol
@@KnowaChannel what
Honestly I feel lucky my 93 year old great granny is able to walk/not be on oxygen
Means she's smart in my book@@KnowaChannel
Shes only 32, living alone has made her look older.
I live in northern Nebraska. This is where you go when you want peace and quiet. I love it here.

Okay but this isn’t true. She’s 15 minutes away from another small town.
lol No. She is not far from other people.
Ok but what about buffalo from wyoming
There is a private group that keeps visiting her everyday
She is fine
She's happy.she has visitors everyday.
imagine this is ai generated
Lol yeah
Fr 😂
Lol
💀💀
Imagine lol
This sweet old lady is living her best life. It may not suit others but it does to her. Keep on living life grandma

Elsie is just so kind and polite... and also all these are SO good for her age, great video!
What about gross from nebraska
@@akhtarflagboi?
@@AxoTheGamer a town that has the same energy as monowi
I started this video feeling bad for Elsie and left feeling happy! I'm glad to see people actually care about Elsie and drive to keep her company.
How does she keep that happy attitude in the midst of consuming loneliness? She is remarkable!
She's so wholesome and sweet but is most likely she is always being asked questions by influencers
Bit rude innit
I think i know why there is only 1 person that lives there I think Russia nuked it
that is why it’s wrecked
She said her role is to be someone to talk to.
I am proud for the people who come and visit Elsie and I cannot believe that she is running the tavern all by herself. RESPECT FOR ELSIE 😍🥰😇😊🥺💖💗
She is very sweet,beautiful and loving, and I love her😊❤
I wish I will be independent as her
Omg, you do not use that many emojis
This town ain't big enough for the two of us
😂
Good one!
Elsie is such a nice lady in person. My old school picture is up on her wall
Respect for Isaiah for visiting the smallest town in the whole world, everybody needs some one to talk to❤
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOWN ABOUT THIS
@@akhtarflagboi Its not advertised that much.
@@BladePocok love people commented my 5 to 10 month comment
@@akhtarflagboi Just watched this video now, sorry!
What a sweet old lady, she's doing great for 90. Great video
Brilliant! You got that interview because you went and spoke with that lovely lady on her term's. Great journalism 🎉

This was a fantastic story! I'm glad she spoke to you. I can definitely understand her sense of loyalty to her home town & all the memories there ❤
I love Elsie ❤ She’s a take no nonsense kind of woman, and tough as nails. I first saw her in a video by Kara & Nate, when they were driving around the US. They also stopped in Monowi, and met this little spitfire.
If Elsie needs someone to carry on her legacy, my family and I volunteer!
I wouldn’t be patient enough to wait 15 hours just to stay at that town for one day lol
That's why Isaiah did it and not you
haha
But imagine taking elsies job..... you would have to stay in one place for 40+ years probably for 15 hours every. Day.
OMG, THE NEWS WAS COVERING MONOWI. HOW DO U NOT KNOW ABOUT IT, ALSO LOL DIED LIKE 1 YEAR AGO SO STOP
FYI, it's passersby, not passerbys.
Elsie is so pure
We must protect her at all cost

In the town lives only one person.
Him: What are *_they_* hiding here
Why is there an anime girl pointing a gun at me
What a lovely lady and a well kept tavern...this is one great reason to hear to the us
Great video and Isiah, you are a total inspiration! Thanks so much for everything. See you soon❤
I'm Nebraskan, after watching this, I now really wanna go to monowi, it's only a few hours away so I'm gonna talk to my parents about it
before watching the videos I'd say the reason most of these places have nobody is cause the majority of us are in big cities like Lincoln and Omaha
Ah yes the sprawling metropolis’ of Lincoln and Omaha 😄
What about grand island and Kearney also I’m Nebraskan GO BIG RED🏈!
Elsie is so wholesome! I wish her much luck!
OMG Elsie sounds like a complete gem 🤗 You almost want to make the trip to Monowi just to see the legend
I live in Nebraska and for someone famous to even come to the state is huge for us❤
As a Nebraskan I can confirm
The irony if living in a town of one person and being socialable as hell. She doesn't like crowds but she loves being around people.
Kara and Nate did a great video of this place and Elsie. They also asked permission to enter the buildings. She has regulars come in every day, it's a popular spot to eat.

im driving from wyoming to wisconsin next week. i just decided ill stop in and get some food in monowi!
This makes me want to go out and visit just for the conversation😢. For me that’s a 2100mi round trip. Sounds like a fun trip!
Wow!
Amazing.
I wouldnt mind living there and helping Elsie in the Bar.
Watching from Papua New Guinea South Pacific. 🇵🇬 😊
I love the creativity of your videos man. Keep it up. 👍
Give this man some respect. He does so much for us.
I live in a small town in Oklahoma called Arcadia, but with Edmond growing I think we are gonna be overrun, the population dropped from around 200 to 150 and is declining it says, and it kinda looks like this but some places aren't abondanded
we need to re populate this town i dont want this lady to be alone
Be alone?
The nearest town to her with an actual population is only 15 Minutes away. And no. There is a bunch of people that keep visiting her every single day

Hello, I used to live in Joplin. After the tornato, I moved back to Oklahoma
I remember that there is a town in Oregon that has three people. It was literally just a gas station and a house😂
What a awesome story, props to you for bringing ligh to this
It seems your trip was all worth it, what a treat to meet this lady and talk to her, just an open book.
So heart warming to see a woman of her age wanting to be there for people. There is a big lesson to learn from this beautiful soul. Elsie you rock love. Blessings to you
Monowi! Nebraska! 🎉
LOVE YOU MAN BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING DONT STOP
Ilu2 practice safe ex
It cracked me when she said, they are running sting operations to bust me😂😂😂😂.
This government is a joke lol
Gotta luv 'er! 🥰 Thanks for the visit.
Please protect this lady at all costs!!!!
He never gives up to make us laugh or be happy❤❤❤keep up the good work man
Seeing the abandoned town just makes my fallout sense tingling. I just want to picklock the door and loot everything inside.
What a wonderful town ❣️🌹 that is what we all should have is to go visit her town 🙏💯🇺🇲 may God bless her and keep her

“Why r the towns small?”
Bro ur in rural Nebraska.
This guy is really crazy always crazy video but we love it,keep it up bro.👍
Glad she has a whole library.

Larry the Cable Guy: Get 'er done!
Bro he goes thru anything for us❤❤❤
Edit: omg mom im famous i have 9 likes

The ending was wholesome and good note to end on
Heaven for Introvert
Can we just appreciate the effort Isaiah puts in to these videos
You know it will be a good day when Isaiah uploads
Nice indeed thanks for the time you took to create this. Hello from down under.
Now these are the people who deserve respect
You should do a video on how many licks it takes to get to the center of a salt lamp.
Just gets better and better
My dad actually grew up near Monowi and my family and I live only an hour away from Monowi. One of the menu items the Heiser Special is actually named after my grandfather
*giggles* MONOwi ... that lady is pure gold tho!
At first, i was feeling bad for her, and i thought she was alone, but in the end, i saw how many ppl come and visit her
POV: your trying to find a comment not saying 'isaiah puts efforts into his video' and 'Elsie is awesome'
True
This video was a lot more entertaining than i thought it would be
I was genuinely mind blown by the amount of people that arrived there I though that maybe 1 or 2 more people would show up.
Can we appreciate how much work Isaiah puts into all of his videos.
Hahagreathobby😊
Nupe! Bahaha!! 🤓🤡
If she’s the only person there, where does she get her food and eggs?
Eggs come from chickens ...... they really do. You can also grow vegys and fruit .... why do I feel silly having to explain this ;(
Monowi ,
Mono for 1.
Makes absolute sense
Praveen will make the population 2
We really should go and move there to give Elsie some company
There is a group that is doing it everyday
This is actually wholesome man! I would visit every so often
If I move there, it'll be 2.
I've noticed that elderly people that are actively working actual jobs of some kind are so much more alert and normal seeming than other elderly people.
It would be awesome to lead a life like this. just living simply with what you have and running a small buisness.
Amazing video, Isaiah! However there is a potentially smaller one. Hum, Croatia. While it's population is much more than Monowi, it is actually the smallest town in the world, as someone who lives 1 hour away from Hum it disappoint's me that you didn't go there. I understand though, it's a bit pointless to go all the way to Europe (And eventually Croatia) just for a video.
Bro deserves respect to investigate these places
I like how he tries things that we won't have to balls to do
Feel bad for da camera man
I'd totally take a long drive just to visit her tavern, too bad I live in Brazil.
Long live to Ms. Elsie!
Elsie is the grandma of the town. All the roles. Sheriff, Cook, Friend.
Imagine if Mr. Beast bought this town and put businesses there for homeless to live/ work and they can start a new life there
That would ruin the uniqueness
Pretty sure Elsie would turn down any amount of money he would offer her anyway.
EARLY GANG

It's nice to know that people go and visit her so far out. God bless :)
That was BRILLIANT thank yous so much 👍👏❤️💜💚🍀🙏🏻
