Today I share with you the telephone systems in Pine Mountain from back in the day. We had operators that knew everyone’s whereabouts and party lines that were shared with your neighbors. There’s a very charming video of Ken Askew talking about it in YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFJD7bQDELE.

On Saturday, we have the Pine Mountain Fall Festival. I hope to see you around town!
