Mayor, in newsletter, offends tourists
Tortilla Flat is in the Superstition Mountains and is the only settlement between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Dam, the Arizona Republic reported Sunday.
A $5.5 million starting bid is sought for the town, which includes a general store, restaurant, a historic ice cream parlor and a post office.
The buyer would also assume the remaining 17 years of a 20-year lease with the U.S. Forest Service, the Republic said.
The realtor handling the sale said the online auction has sparked numerous inquiries but no concrete bids.
