Are there any small cities in West Virginia that have a strong enough economy, where a car salesman or a Powersports dealership salesman such as myself can actually make enough money to live alongside a small yard care company? Basically I need a larger Powersports dealership that actually makes money. I have looked for three months and I cannot find anywhere in West Virginia. Beckley, West Virginia has two dealerships, making it harder to sell things because all the brands are not under one roof. Huntington, West Virginia looks good, but I think they have a major drug problem and Charleston. Morgantown is a college town and I avoid them and I cannot afford to live it cheat lake. Do you have any suggestions?
Logan County residents have been getting Screwed through out history the recent was buffalo creek . Arch Moore really Screwed logan residents. Ring any bells Shelly Moore Crappy toes her Daddy !
Wow! My father, M. Burnell Dennison, was from Braxton County. I love going down there, too, as the mountains call to me. There is just...some sort of energy there, and it feels like the love of ancestors, saying "you belong here with us." I was not raised in WV, but it welcomes me "home." Almost Heaven.
My grandfather was born in Walton in 1895; his family left Roane County in 1905 after his father died in 1902 and his youngest siblings both died a year later. They settled in a new town called Estacada in Oregon in 1906 the year after it was founded. I was born there in 1949, raised in Portland, and now live near Salem. Photographs of the hills of West Virginia look very much like western Oregon except the trees here are much larger and the rivers are cold, fast, clear and big. McKown Creek, south of Walton, was named after another of my relatives.
Descended from the Allens of that area. My grand-pap, Simon Jefferson Allen, moved to Pittsburgh in 1923 after serving in WWI and getting married in 1922. He passed in 1990 and was an old-fashioned story teller. I remember some of those great old stories but have always regretted not recording them. They were true Appalachian Americana; kind of a Norman Rockwell in words.
Very cool video! I'm descended from some of those German settlers. In the 1800s they lived on a farm by Brushy Fork Lake, which is now part of GW National Forest.
Don E McCourt is the Mayor of Webster Springs/Addison His father Big Dad (Uncle Verdon) to me. My family has been running them there hills since the 1700's.
