    Imagine my surprise when I opened a Christmas present from my son and daughter-in-law (who didn’t know I follow your channel), and found a copy of Shane’s book, Legends and Lore of East Tennessee!

    It's amazing to see some of these places that appear frozen in time.

    Happy Thanksgiving!! The pwr plant in Carbo Va is called 'Clinch River Plant' owned/operated by the Appalachian Power Company (APCO), a wholly owned subsidiary of American Electric Power. Originally a 3-unit coal fire plant, 2 units have recently been converted to solely natural gas fire producing 245 megawatts nominal each. The 3rd (coal fire) unit was retired.

    On my Dad’s side, the Grizzles and Hamons family lived there in the early 1800’s. EJ Sutherland wrote books about the families that lived there, they were the Counts, the Kisers, the Sutherlands, Grizzles, Hammons, Dyers, Artrips and more. Thanks for showing this, I wish it was lighter it was kinda hard to see. So sad they had to ruin the land, and still do!

    That building next to the central shop was the central lab. Pittston did not sell this to alpha is probably why it is still standing.

    Isn't that plant on the Clinch River and referred to "The Clinch River Plant." Carbo certainly has an unusual name. I am so excited and happy for you sweet people on the new baby. We have never met, but I feel like I have known you both for a long time though your videos. You have a special place in my heart due to your awesome videos on WV. I will never forget the one you did on Cigarette Holler. I spent Thanksgiving way up in the mountains in Tucker County, WV and thought so much about your family. I hope that you had a great one. Would love to meet you someday and take you to lunch, brunch, or dinner. I plan to purchase your book. Will you be doing any book signings? If so, where can I locate a list? I do not have any social media except CZcams and email. Thank you for this awesome video. Hope you get to feeling better Melody.
