As in the signs on settler wagons headed west that read, "Pikes Peak or Bust".
Stumbled onto this cute story from 1989 that involved a cousin of mine and her husband.?ÿ I was searching for her husband's obituary as he passed away a few days ago after 83 years on this Earth and 63 years of marriage.
SMALLEST TOWN IN COLORADO GOES ON SALE
Lloyd and Helen Collins, owners of Bust, Colo., on Ute Pass say that after seven years of running the gift shop and being mayor, vice mayor, chief of police and the City Council of their own town they are ready to try a new venture.So they are selling the place. Price: $159,000.
Since the Collinses live in Woodland Park and make the short commute to the store, Bust has no official residents.
Tourists have been drawn into the store by a huge sign on the roof. "Bust, Colo.," it reads. "Colorado's Newest and Smallest Town, Elev. 7,500, Pop. Zero."
Stop scaring everybody, cripes I thought you meant Colorado revoked their recreational marijuana law. ?????ÿ
I've been looking for something on which to throw away money so my kids don't get it all...Maybe I'll become the new mayor of Bust.
ps - I wonder if I can create a police force and write speeding tickets to the touristos driving on highway 24 during the summer season??ÿ
