Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: TV in the common house - scheduling

[Tiffany Lee Brown (magdalen23]

The community I hung out at when I was a kid kept the TV in a small room in
the upstairs of the common house, so it wasn't visible from the living
room, dining area, or kitchen. It wasn't on a schedule, but you really had
to go out of your way to watch. Keeping a TV packed away (ideal) or hidden
in a far room up the stairs makes it so that bringing out the TV is a big
deal and kind of a pain in the tush. To me that seems wise!
