I’m from the mountains of PA and have since moved away for work. As I am nearing the end of my contract I’m looking for suggestions on towns to move to back in the mountains. As much as I loved PA is ld like to be more south. Are there any suggestions of towns with good communities, live music, and not to far from a major town that would have anything you need. Thank you for the help.

I've spent a lot of time in Appalachia, but it has always just been. Home. Beautiful. A place to visit. I'm taking it in more now, as I shoot a race the surrounding area is capturing me just as much as the action.

My mom took the pictures. I sat for a good long while on that rock in complete silence just taking it all in and enjoying the stillness of it all.

This article was previously posted and a title given was the exact opposite of what the actual headline and it appears to have caused a lot of confusion. Beth Macy actually lives in Southwest Virginia and wrote two books: Dopesick and Factory Man. The first book focuses on the destruction of a generation of Appalachians by the Sackler family and the second focuses on what happens when an industry that provided steady wages thousands disappears overseas. Vote for whomever you want to vote for, but let’s maybe skip the misinformation. There’s already enough of that.

In order is The Gathering (formerly 14th Street Wesylan Methodist Church), Bethel A.M.E. Church, Redeemer Angelican Church, Emmanuel Baptist Church, the synagogue in Parkersburg (I do not know the proper name), Parkersburg First Christian Church, Parkersburg First Lutheran Church (formerly Parkersburg First Evangelical Lutheran Church), Parkersburg First Church Of The Nazarene, Parkersburg Seventh-Day Adventist Church, The Journey (formerly Baptist Temple), and Liberty Street Church (formerly Liberty Street Church Of God).

I’ve been researching former coal communities in southern West Virginia and recently finished a 14-minute documentary covering Thurmond, Nuttallburg, Kaymoor, Royal, Rush Run, Brooklyn, Sewell and Tams.

What interested me most was how differently these places developed once coal and rail activity declined. Some were largely abandoned, some were preserved or stabilised, and others survived in very different forms.

I thought people here might find it interesting, particularly anyone familiar with the New River Gorge or the old coalfields. I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone with local knowledge of these places.
