The Albert articles keep saying there is no Post Office (true) and no one lives
there (not true).
No one lives on that property but the woman who is president of the Albert
Community Club (some of you met her) definitely lives in Albert. Her
grandfather donated the property for the school, which is also in the town of
Albert and was not part of the sale.
But it sounds so much more desireable the other way... Jacqui

You really can get everything on eBay, even your own "Unpopulated 1 House
Texas Town."
Gee, I've always wanted one of those.
Albert is not the first town to get sold on eBay, but it's the latest. Just
north of San Antonio, Texas, it consists of 13 acres that houses a tavern, a
dance hall, a tractor shed, a 3 bedroom house, and a couple peach and pecan
orchards. There's no post office and no permanent residents, but it sold for
$3.8 million dollars to a bidder from Italy -- which was well over the reserve
price which was set at only $2.5 million.
Do you suppose the winner bought it as some kind of over-the-top Christmas
gift for somebody? That would be so fun!
