Yep, that's the one!  One grocery store and a Tasty-Freeze with some
other miscellaneous shops strewn about.  However, my grandpa who still
lives "in" Glennallen (17 miles out, actually) has DSL!  It amazes me
how there are people that can't get DSL in the middle of suburbia but
my grandpa which is 17 miles from the nearest town which is hundreds
of miles from the nearest city has DSL.
