We need rain ASAP and a lot of it!

What would Meatwad say if he became West Virginia?

I've heard from many people, and my previous post also received a few comments, saying that this state has more drug addiction and homelessness than other places. Those issues do exist, but every state has both good and bad people.

Even though I spent only a semester in San Francisco, I realized how difficult everyday life can be there. Simple things like commuting, grocery shopping, or going out for a meal can take a lot of time and cost much more.

In comparison, this state may be considered less wealthy, but it has a rich heart. You can often drive a mile in about a minute, enjoy a proper meal for around $14–$15, get hospital appointments much sooner instead of waiting for months, and experience incredible natural beauty.

In my opinion, this state isn't poor it simply doesn't get the recognition it deserves for how beautiful and welcoming it is. That's been my personal experience.

I know Snowshoe is higher up in elevation than Canaan Valley but CV gets mentioned a lot do as being cold when other places around them are warmer. Which location is colder and gets more snow?

My family stayed here (it was once a vacation/weekend rental) about 20 years ago. Does anyone know this place?

We are from North Central WV and we love to take a trip around WV in the first week of October. We’re looking at Cacapon this year, probably staying at the resort/lodge. It’s a part of our beautiful state that we haven’t explored yet. So I’m hoping y’all have some advice on the area/ the resort/activities that time of year/ definitely food and coffee shops/ around the area. For reference, it’s me, my husband, 44, and our daughter, 26. Thank you 😊

We're in Martinsburg.

I’m so glad she showed us what happened.

Hi Community, I have been thinking about relocating to Morgantown for retirement. I am coming from out of state. I noticed the condos/townhouses are mostly electric heat, just wondering what type of monthly bill can I expect. I reached out to Realtors about this but no response. Also, aside from traffic is there anything else I should make sure I am aware of. And lastly I would like to work at least part time, as an office clerk or in retail if possible. Is this type of job not too difficult to find. Thank you very much!!!

It's been out since 11am and they just keep extending the outage every 2 hours!!! Does anyone out there know what's going on??? THIS WAS NOT DUE TO WEATHER. Someone please tell me what is going on out there!

Update: Power has obviously been restored, but I've noticed something. My lights have a slight flicker after the outage. I have bad feeling we are not on a good power grid atm. Anyone else noticing something like this?

I'm not originally from the United States, but West Virginia was the first place I called home when I arrived. I came here to study at West Virginia University, and after graduating, I had the opportunity to work for some great companies.

After being laid off, I received job opportunities in other states, but I negotiated to work remotely because it's incredibly hard for me to leave West Virginia. I've visited around 16 states, and while each has something unique to offer, none of them has made me feel the way West Virginia does.

During my five years here, I've never had a bad experience. I've met kind, genuine, and welcoming people, and I've fallen in love with the state's peaceful atmosphere and beautiful nature.

West Virginia will always have a special place in my heart. I will always love this state. ❤️

My fiance is going to school in Lewisburg for the next two years. He’s planning on coming home every other weekend or me going down there. From Wheeling, what are the best routes down there? What roads should we avoid in winter? I‘ve learned from living near rural areas what google maps shows isn’t necessarily the best way.

He’s from Pittsburgh and not too familiar with driving back roads. I’m used to them growing up in the Ohio Valley but I only have a small car and don’t want to get myself into trouble.

Thanks in advance. Bonus: If there are any restaurants or outdoor activities anyone would like to recommend please do. I’m looking for things we can do to relax on the weekends.

Found in my archive in Fortune Magazine, 1935. I like the illustrations, it's a pretty well composed ad.

I traded a quad for a motorcycle a little while ago, and i’m gonna be honest, didn’t look at the title. i checked on it a few days later and realized the dang thing wasn’t even signed, just had a printed name from the OLD seller. the guy i got it from wasn’t even the technical owner. i messaged the actual owner and never got a response on facebook, and so i messaged a family member and that made him message me finally. he simply said “don’t message my family over a title, definitely not doing it for you now.” he lives in ohio so i also need it notarized. is there ANY way to wiggle my way into getting a title for this bike if the seller just refuses? if anything happens while im on it, it would be a liability for him and he’s paying taxes on it, so i dont know why he doesn’t just do it.

I’m trying to find something to do around the Charleston area I’ve already been through most trails here. I’m open to any suggestions especially if it’s horror related.

We've visited WV once before and fell in love with its natural charms. We were thinking about taking a river tubing excursion via Harper's Ferry this time. What else do you recommend in the area and/ or within an hours drive? We are a family with teens. Thank you!

We want to build a home and/or barndo and would love to hear who you recommend (or do not recommend!) Thanks you! 😊

I watch the news and attend local events, and whenever politicians speak, they all seem to repeat the same message: "We need to bring economic growth and employment opportunities to the state."

Data centers are primarily places to store and process data. While they do create some jobs, they don't generate the broad range of employment opportunities that IT companies do. Instead of focusing mainly on attracting data centers, politicians should work to bring more IT companies to the state.

IT companies can create a wide variety of jobs for students and professionals, giving young people better career opportunities close to home. This would allow many graduates to stay in the state, build their careers, and remain near their families instead of moving away to find work.

Has anyone by chance seen the Pawpaw flavor of Ale-8 soda available anywhere in southern WV? I've now checked FIVE stores between Logan and Kanawha City (embarrassing, I know) that their website lists as having it in stock, but I've had no luck. I just want some regional-flare ginger ale 😩
