Yo, I'm from WV. I can confirm its a state you either fall in love with or hate. It's got some of the most amazing and some of the worst things that could be in a state. It isn't too hard to see the beauty in it though. I'd reccomend at least giving it a chance
wow people are kinda rude in the comments, lol. well i'm from KY and i personally love it here in Appalachia, and i thought your view was beautiful too. i've only been to Clay county in WV, so i don't know a ton about the state, cept its more rural than where i'm from. but i know i sure love the drive on the parkway to get from here to there ... absolutely gorgeous! there's something about central Appalachia that really has got me! i guess i'm just used to the people that were raised not to say anything atall if they couldn't say something nice, and all that. kinda sad to see how many unhappy people there seem to be in the world. plus the people here are just SO different from other places, that's why i've stayed in the region when some people have moved ... they actually are kind and more willing to lend a helping hand, than to spit in your face, or drive past car wrecks without stopping, say. well anyways, greetings from KY, the state next door to ya! i'm in the literal forest on top of a little mountain myself
The only part of West Virginia that these people are talking about is most likely the eastern Panhandle, where at that point, it's just a DC bedroom community.
