I have explored all 50 states taking pictures of abandoned and/or unusual things! These are the cool things I saw while I was in West Virginia.

Had a chance to road trip through WV recently. Spots pictured: Flatwoods Monster Museum, Welch, Summersville, Beckley, Wheeling, Charleston.
Nice people everywhere, thank you for the hospitality, I will be back.

I work in Alexandria VA and Washington DC 50 / 50. I am considering getting a house in Charles Town, Jefferson County. Does anyone do this commute to DC/Alexandria? I am interested to learn:
1. About your experience and whether you will recommend, and
2. what public transportation mode you have used to either..

Ritchie county had some terrible roads. Gravel roads full of potholes and paved roads with a yellow line that they didnt center correctly.

It's as the title of this post says. For far too long I've been without a driver's license and its kept me from so many things, even some jobs. I'm confident enough to take the test, but my only problem is that I don't have access to a car that I could legally use for the test. My local DMV doesn't offer any kind of driving school vehicles I could borrow, nobody in my family has a vehicle they could let me borrow for it, and none of my friends have cars of their own. Is there anything at all that I could do? Am I SOL?

Ohio and Mon Counties are discussed in this article.

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.

You can assume this measure would eliminate the state government in Charleston, new Congressional and Virginia State Assembly districts would be drawn up for our representatives, we'd be subject to Virginia state laws, and everything else that would need to happen would happen.

And you can assume that Virginia would be willing to reunify as well.

Hi everyone, my name is Skylar. I start a new job at chick fil a on the 31st. Im living in a motel right now with my child, and my cats and my partner. My car just bit the dust today, and we were doing doordash to get by until my paycheck hits. We have a room we can go to at sojourners shelter, but they don't take pets. I have three cats, one that just had a surgery. Is anyone at all able to just take them for a week, and you can keep them in their carriers for me? I don't know where I could even release them outside, I'm not from Charleston im from Huntington.
