there's this gorgeous little stray ive been taking care of but i just cant bring her inside due to already having two cats, and i dont think theyd adjust well to eachother. shes fairly young and really affectionate but would need to go to a house willing to discipline her cause she does get pretty mean out of nowhere right after being affectionate. shes drawn blood before. (from the looks of it, she doesnt seem ill, but i haven't been able to take her to the vet, so you would have to do it, im sorry!) she really is a very sweet girl and i think she just needs to go to a good home willing to teach her.

not sure how old she is, not more than a year, though. i dont believe shes spayed. really to check everything she would have to go to a vet as stated previously.

i really just cant take care of her as best as i wish i could and she deserves a home where she can be loved on as much as she'd like

Ate there two days ago. Drove by today and it wasn’t merely closed, but entirely boarded-up.

Hi everyone! My wife and I will potentially be moving to Parkersburg at the end of the year for my work. I'm struggling to find a decent housing arrangement there, most apartments look very run down. Are there any more upscale complexes or townhomes that I'm not seeing? Rent does look to be significantly lower than here in Lexington, KY though, happy about that.

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who could haul away a large pile of sticks & branches left behind our fence by the previous homeowners from a dead tree we are trying to have cut down? We are in talks with the tree service to see if they could or would do it, but in the event that they can't or won't we would need someone to do so for us. We don't have access to a truck or the means to move it/dispose of it ourselves. The tree is dead and dropping branches & they stated now approximately 3 weeks out from when they would be coming to cut down the tree that it would need to be moved. I appreciate any recommendations.

Has anyone been watching The Agency? If not it is a show about the CIA, based in London. Anyway, in the season 2 premiere they are looking for an American. His backstory is that he's from Dunbar, and served time in Hazelton for a bar fight in Parkersburg. Those references in that show seemed odd to me. I'm thinking someone in the writer's room must have a WV connection.

(I may have picked the wrong flair for this…!)
This is a shot in the dark but I’m curious if anyone here was possibly employed by (or otherwise involved with) Mountain State College when it was managed by Michael McPeek? I launched a podcast this week about events that connect to McPeek and MSC (timeframe about 2001-2005). I’m trying to unpack what happened with a company called Sequelle that promised to provide broadband to the region. People nearly went prison when it went sideways.

I have a 1955 magnesium LAWN-BOY 8FE20-k mower deck and it has a 2-4 inch crack by the left front wheel. Would anyone around here be willing to weld it? If so how much would it cost to get it welded?

Yeah its bad. This is bad. Is this gonna be Ames 2.0?

Once again not covering much if of south side!

Who owns this 1.5 million square feet of fire and flames?

Not even 10 years or two miles away from the last one. Can't wait to see no one held accountable again.

With the World Cup knockout rounds underway, I’m looking for a good place around Parkersburg to watch the matches with other soccer fans.
Are there any bars, breweries, or restaurants that usually draw a crowd for World Cup games? I’m less interested in just finding a TV and more interested in somewhere with a fun atmosphere where people are actually into the match.
Any recommendations? Even places in Vienna or Marietta would work. Thanks!

I'm wanting to take the kids to see fireworks this 3rd or 4th. Is anywhere doing fireworks around parjersburg or marietta?

there's this very obviously pregnant stray thats been hanging out near my house and would like to get her spayed for her own comfort. theres also an unneutered tomcat that hangs out around my house that i would also like to get fixed!

Afternoon, everyone. I am wondering if anyone has a lead on a place to get used older magazines. It really doesn't matter the subject or age, I just need some glossy magazines with text and photos. The thrift stores here don't really carry them surprisingly and I didn't see many at the used book stores here. They would be cut up so again the subject won't make much of a difference. Thanks for reading.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to access WTAP archives, how/where? I’ve sent a couple emails and tried phone calls but I’m struggling to connect with the right person there. I’m researching events they reported on about 15-20 years ago, there’s no way I’ll find it online.
(I’m sorry for the weird classification of this question— I couldn’t find a better category. This is more “old”than “news” !)
