People living in small towns, what’s the recent scandal?

After an old man recently died, and his wife decided to sell the house to move into a nursing home, a factory that I honestly didn’t even know was still running, has bought the house and is in the midst of tearing it down to make a drive way in between everyones’ houses.

Not really a scandal at all, but as it’s in a mostly elderly neighborhood with most homeowners there having had the same home for 40 or 50 years, the news is getting around and my grandma won’t stop talking about it to myself and my extended family. It’s also a little sad because the couple used to go all out for Christmas and have decorations everywhere, but now there is nothing. I wish his widow the best, even though I’ve never met her personally.

My grandma also recently ran over her and her neighbor’s mailbox because she decided to try and pull up next to it and is still learning how big her car really is. I don’t know how it all turned out but the neighbor said “Did you see? Some idiot ran over all out mailboxes!” To my grandma when he got home from work. As it’s never been talked about again and my grandma is a good person, she likely came clean and paid for them.
