Phone, Power & Water

Change is inevitable, even in Anderson Valley. Some aspects of the valley have changed markedly from when I first arrived in the late 1950s and some hardly at all. Back in November, in my article “That’s Entertainment,” I detailed how – with the rise of television dishes, computers and homegrown options, and the disappearance of the television translator and radio dramas – the valley’s entertainment landscape changed. To a lesser extent, basic services like phone, power and water also have changed, though most of the changes won’t be obvious to casual observers.
