No Cell Phones, Wi-Fi Allowed In Small W.Va. Town

[Renae]

GREEN BANK, W.Va. (KDKA) — Would you believe there’s a place where no one can use a cell phone? Where Wi-Fi is not allowed? Where even finding a radio station can be a difficult task?There’s a town in West Virginia a few hours to south of Pittsburgh where all that is true.
Green Bank is a place where you can hear nature. Where you can hear yourself think. And that’s because some very important listening is going on.

The family tree's are straight lines and the banjo is played daily down at Dave's brother uncle cousins shop when his sister mom isn't too busy with your father uncle.

That is out in the country, I think the main intersection in town does not even have a stop sign, (and doesn't need one.)!

Green Bank is a place where you can hear nature. Where you can hear yourself think. And that’s because some very important listening is going on.

You see, Green Bank is home to the largest moveable radio telescope in the world.

“For people in the immediate area of the telescope, we really need the quiet,” said Jay Lockman from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

They’re trying to pick up very faint signals from outer space, so people in this small town can’t have some of today’s modern conveniences.

Actually it's just home to a very high tech piece of science, not some backwards community...

When I was 14, a friend and I backpacked the Monongaheia Nation Forest, which is just east of this town. He had an Uncle that moved to Elkins in the late '60s, so we went for a visit and a backpacking trip. Beautiful country, but very backwoods, and very overgrown with everything. A nature lovers paradise.

Looks to me like the family tree is a wreath. LOL.

So they had to throw away the one flip phone and the rabbit ears?

I've seen far too much of the "I only read the headline and not the article." threads started here. Forgive me for my pessimism...

We shouldn't make fun of them. After the apocalypse they will probably be the only gene pool left! :shock:

You already live in Arizona. You can't get much more backwards than that.

I wonder if the police chief drives around with a computer looking for wifi routers.

Funny coming from someone living in New Mexico.

New Mexico has a French Quarter?

New Mexico has a French Quarter?

Yeah, it's the popeyes off I10.

 

[Chillfolks]

I do find it interesting that many of the same people get their panties all full sand when someone makes a negative generalisation about black, gay, Muslim or Latino groups. Are the first to make negative generalisations about Caucasian folks from a state and see nothing wrong with it.

I have a French friend here but he's moving to NYC this fall.

That falls in the National Radio Quiet Zone, it isn't exactly something that people who lived there decided to do, it's a federal radio-free area, kept clear so the radio telescopes there can operate unhindered.

We should park one on the far side of the moon.

Also, there are those who don't believe their bodies do so well around electronics. I'm not saying their claims are anything more than psychological, but they exist and in numbers. I'd heard there are towns that cater to those folks.

Which would be great if we didn't gut our space program. I completely agree.
