About an hour south of Las Vegas is the tiny town of Cal-Nev-Ari, Nevada. Population: 375. It looks like many other desert communities that dot the Mojave Desert, but this one is different: It has a "For Sale" sign on it -- the whole thing. Mark Albert asked the town's owner why she's selling.

  • I think this lady really don't want to sell, but realizing she is getting closer to the other end of life,she has the opportunity at this point to try to select the right buyer to benefit the town for it's future.

    This woman is the definition of “If you want it done right, do it yourself.”

    There are a lot of stories like this if you get out and seek them. In the 70's I was on the way home from the Army in El Paso to Chicago. We were in the middle of nowhere in Kansas and stopped in for gas at a place that had a diner. It was early AM and there was no one in there except a lady in her 60's. She was preparing the diner for breakfast and also ran the gas station by herself. After settling the gas situation, I asked her who changes tires, etc. She said she does everything except transmissions. I believed her. As we talked, I grew more in awe of this lady. Her name was Mrs. Miller and she had run the gas station by herself for over 15 years. She was also the mayor of the little town, sorry I don't remember the name. She was a licensed electrician, the first female in the counties history and she was going for the certification in Plumbing. After we ate she said she had to leave to deliver the mail. I am not making this up. She was also an artist who bought old metal milk cans and painted them with American Indian scenes. She seemed perfectly comfortable leaving Dennis and me alone there to finish our meal. She never did mention a bill and when we asked her how much, she said you guys just got out of the Army and the food was on her. We left at the same time and we noticed she didn't lock anything up. She said she goes 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. After she left, we went back in and left her $20 under a plate. I am 70 now and have been all over the US. Met lots of memorable people, she is at the top.

    You know a rich developer will come in and destroy the small town and I feel for the people living there.

    Been there! Stopped once to get something to eat and played the slot machines, after seven years of just driving through, going to Vegas and back to Lake Havasu City.

    I love this lady. Wish they’d make a doc on her and her life. The small parts she talked about seemed really interesting. I’d watch it.

    I stayed there once in 1989 at Thanksgiving with a lady I was dating. She had friends that had a home along the airplane runway and she was house sitting while they traveled for the holiday. Lots of people had their own planes.
