Deserted Latvian town for sale 

Comrades! Now to be leavink corrupt capitalist running-dog Alpha Complex (ptui!) and be movink Outdoors to glorious deserted Russian military town in Latvia:
[B]idding has opened to find a new owner for the former top secret Russian military town of Skrunda.

Bids start at 150,000 Lats (about $290,000 USD). The winning bidder will become the owner of the entire town -- including 5 million square feet of land, 10 apartment buildings, two nightclubs, a shopping center, a child care center, a sauna, and of course a variety of abandoned military buildings. The radar facilities were sadly destroyed, so anyone thinking of starting their own secret missile base will need to find somewhere else.

The town has been abandoned since 1999, so you'll need to make a couple of trips to the local equivalent of Home Depot to fix things up.
Capitalist pig-dog commenter on post: "Wow, a town in Latvia costs as much as a budget condo in the Bay Area."

UPDATINK: Capitalist pig-dog Russian investor is buying Skrunda for US$3.1 million. Never be mindink!

Except for small detail of beink landlocked, Skrunda-1 is othervise beink perfect dock for formerly super-secret Sea Shadow stealth ship, built at cost of US$200 million, now beink given away for free by US Nawy.
