Halbreich Buys A Newspaper I Wanted

Actually, I didn’t know the Glen Rose News was for sale. But I love Glen Rose. It’s a cool town, with its own theater company, a great town square, and the world’s only Creation Evidence Museum, which is right down the street from Dinosaur Valley State Park (I’d like to see the evidence on that.)

But former News executive Jeremy Halbreich seems to be intent on buying every small town newspaper in America, so all I can do is pout.

  1. Wick, haven’t been reading the New York Times like you should, have you?

    The Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose isn’t the only such museum in the world. Read the NYT museum review of the new $27 million Creation Museum in Kentucky at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/24/arts/24crea.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Impressive. The article was on the NYT’s most e-mailed list for several days.

    Better yet, investigate museum for yourself at http://www.creationmuseum.org/

    Better watch out, the radical religious right is gaining. More sarcasm and incorrect information on your part might be required to fight them off.

  2. Glen Rose also has the world’s only clinic where they still use leeches — just like in the olden days, before PC liberal elitists kicked Jesus out of the classroom.

  3. Before its gentrification, Glen Rose had a hell of a reputation for making great moonshine. And it was well into the 1980’s before the county courthouse there got air conditioning and indoor bathrooms – there was a M/F outhouse on the northeast corner outside.

    In 1979, Glen Rose saw in invasion of hundreds of anti-nuke protesters to oppose the Comanche Peak project. Town folk could not have been nicer, despite what struck some as a conflict of cultures. In fact, a Glen Rose Jury could not reach a verdict in the only trail of such protesters in the state’s history – the jury of six, including a Primative Baptist Minister and hog farmer, was hung 4 to 2 for aquittal.

    For a week or two there, Glen Rose was the scene of a nuclear “Inherit the Wind” complete with a courtroom full of hand fans, a seedy prosecutor, expert witnesses and rural residents trying to figure out what all the fuss was about. Good times.
