«Breaking News» Nebraska town home to just TWO PEOPLE swells to more than ten times its size for Thanksgiving

An American town that has a population of just two people swelled to more than ten times its size because of a special Thanksgiving feast.

The tiny town of Gross, in Nebraska, used to be home to more than 600 people but now counts Mary and Mike Finnegan as its only residents. 

When roads and railways were built in the nearby area, they skipped Gross, leading to residents moving out. 

However, with the help of Ancestry.com, Mary and Mike were able to track down all of their family members for a special Thanksgiving meal. 

The couple have run the town's only restaurant, The Nebraska Inn, for the past 33 years. 

Friends and visitors constantly pass through the restaurant to taste Mary's 'famous' pan-fried chicken and coffee.

She also bakes 10 delicious homemade pies every Monday and they quickly sell out by Tuesday evening.

The town's welcome sign reads 'Gross, Pop.2' but before the exodus, it used to number more than 600.

The couple used researchers at Ancestry.com to track down their family and the descendants of the Gross family, who were the town's founders. 

They then invited them to the meal as special guests. 

Mary said: 'Gross is kind of the heart of the community.

The couple hosted a Thanksgiving feast where they invited relatives and descendants of the town to come and enjoy a meal

'It's where everyone meets and has coffee to discuss the problems and the blessings of the day. It's just a very home-oriented place.'

The feast took place a few days before Thanksgiving, which will actually see Gross completely empty as the couple plan to drive to their daughter's house in a nearby town.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
