The Town That Time Forgot

Glasgow was once infested by a herd of fiberglass dinosaurs as an April Fool's prank, and a few are still around. Roadsideamerica.com Report...

The Town That Time Forgot

Looks like [the dinosaur with cavegirl Raquel Welch rider] is all that' s left. The restaurant is out of business and for sale. Still a nice little town and worth the detour. [Vince, 07/21/2011]

The Town That Time Forgot

I drove through Glasgow, Virginia in mid-October to see if the rumors were true, and dinosaurs do indeed still roam the streets of small towns in western Virginia. As of that month, Mark Cline could still claim dominion over evolution, as I met this charming cave woman atop a brontosaurus on the main road through town. If memory serves, there was also a smaller stegosaurus standing guard by a local gas station, but it looks like the city's police force has done an otherwise adequate job of keeping prehistoric monsters out of Glasgow's business district.

Cave Woman on a Dinosaur

A cave woman sitting on a dinosaur. We are pretty sure it was in "downtown" Glasgow VA -- The Town That Time Forgot. [Rostetter Family, 09/12/2007]

[RA: According to creator Mark Cline the cave woman is modeled after Raquel Welch as Loana from One Million Years BC.]

Town that Time Forgot

We visited Glasgow, "The Town That Time Forgot," and found the dinosaur population to be down somewhat, but still very much in evidence. The Triceratops that was guarding the Mom & Pop Restaurant apparently hopped across the road and now stands guard for the Grocery Express. Only a few little bears are in front of the restaurant, which does serve good, reasonably priced food. [John Holmes, 01/30/2005]
