Small Town Sold For $900,000

Buford is a small place for sure, but so is the world. A remote, unincorporated area along busy Interstate 80 that advertised itself as the smallest town in the United States, Buford was sold at auction for $900,000 on Thursday to an unidentified man from Vietnam. It’s owner for the last 20 years, Don Sammons, served with the U.S. Army as a radio operator in 1968-69.

After meeting the buyer, an emotional Sammons said it was hard for him to grasp the irony of the situation. “I think it’s funny how things come full circle,” he said. The buyer attended the auction in person but declined to meet with the media or to be identified. Sammons and others involved in the auction would not discuss the buyer’s plans for Buford.

It will take about 30 days for all the paperwork to be completed before ownership of the place located almost equidistant between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming changes hands, Sammons said. The new owner will get a gas station and convenience store, a schoolhouse from 1905, a cabin, a garage, 10 acres, and a three-bedroom home at 8,000 feet altitude — overlooking the trucks and cars on the nearby interstate on one side and the distant snowcapped mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado on the other.

The town traces its origins to the 1860s and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Buford had as many as 2,000 residents before the railroad was rerouted. Sammons, who moved to the Buford area about 30 years ago from Los Angeles to get away from the busy city life, bought the trading post on Jan. 31, 1992. He plans to retire from his unofficial title as “mayor” and write a book about his experiences in Buford, he said.

Jaleel White’s Ex Continues To Make Abuse Allegations

Urkel’s Jaleel White’s ex-girlfriend and baby mama is mad he called her a lyin’ azz hater and continues to swear up and down she’s telling the truth about him beating the crap out of her and pushing her so hard into the toilet that she broke it!

According to RadarOnline reports:

“He’s sworn under oath that the incident did happen,” Bridget Hardy said regarding the domestic violence claim she filed after he allegedly pushed her into a toilet so violently, that it broke.

According to Bridget the deposition with his admittance was kept under wraps “because he made everything confidential on file, so for him to deny that it happened is ridiculous.”

As RadarOnline.com first reported, Bridget wanted her side of the story to be heard and it painted the Dancing with the Stars family favorite as an abusive, cheating boyfriend.

“He hit me across the chest area. He pushed me into the toilet, and it broke. Water went everywhere, through the walls and even to the kitchen downstairs,” she says. “Verbally and emotionally, he’s abusive. He told me I’m not working; I have no money; I’m white trash. None of it was true.”

But Jaleel quickly took to the defense, appearing on Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday attempting to claim his innocence, yet admitting a domestic violence report was filed against him and dancing around the truth.

Bridget is sticking to her guns though and isn’t dancing around anything.

“When he put my stuff in storage, he deleted 3,000 photos on my computer. He knew I had the photo of the toilet busted, but he didn’t know I had it on my phone. I think he was looking for that photo,” Bridget revealed when talking about the time she claims he forced her to move out of their shared home.

“He actually gave some of the photos back to me on a memory stick as a birthday present. Most of them were of me and my daughter.”

We don’t condone domestic violence but enough already… She sounds like a damn broken record. SMH.
