You never know what might be happening at the Glen, but one thing you can be sure won't be there, and that's television. This is mostly a result of choice, but also we are so down in the "holler," reception would be very poor, and that is mostly out of choice too. TV gums up life, and more than one visitor has commented on how their life came into perspective, and once complicated problems seemed much simpler and easier to resolve. Life without TV breeds a different type of person, and a whole different outlook. Simpler yes, but very exciting. So if you want to experience the spice of life with no plug-in drug, this is the place to come.
