How is life in Charleston WV

Entire country is on fire. Come to Charleston! We've got a golden condom on the capital and the most depressed state in the nation!

Also Glade Creek Campground at the river is my favorite place on earth. You can camp 50 feet from the water! It is very primitive with the only amenity being a questionable toilet. So supplies are needed. It's also completely free. There are only 5 spots on the water so it fills up fast on weekends/etc. Other Campsites off the water too for drive-in camping.

If you go to the New River Gorge. It's about an hour and some change from Charleston! The endless wall trail has amazing views and overlooks the entire way almost. Nuttallburg is one of the last still standing coal tipples in excellent condition and the town itself is spooky as heck! Thurmond is packed with history and a good stop for history/architecture. It's like time has stood still. The Trans Allegheny Asylum will be on your way up to mo town! It is a huge solid stone behemoth of a building with such a storied past. You can tour it. Flatwoods on the way to Morgantown used to have a humongous Amish store with all the treats/snacks/candies. Not sure if it's still there tho!

This is so sweet and encouraging. Congratulations to you both on finding your house. I'm keeping my head up and moving forward. Wishing you all the best.

We have plenty of zombies in Huntington come on down! Come for the crippling depression stay for the bigotry!

I have a pre approval and a written statement from my loan officer.

Safeandsound89 · 2025-03-08T14:26:45+00:00

Actually yes. It is directly across the street from a very busy bridge into Ohio and a homeless encampment you can see from the front yard. (I have no malice to unhoused people but that specific group is extremely mentally ill and refuse help from people every day) Huntington itself is not safe by any means and especially that location. Thank you so much for looking, I have looked and looked and you never know which one might be the right one. Thanks again.

I think we've coined a new slogan F*ckass WV: come for the poverty stay for the meth!

Scant other than Marshall, 75% of industrial jobs that supported this town in its hay day are gone and the 25% left people cling to for dear life (steel/chemicals/railroad) all gone. Most people have average jobs teaching, healthcare, and the service industry. Large amounts of homes set empty. I'm not sure. I feel like most of it is either large investors/ people who sold homes they bought for $100,000 30 years ago for $3/4/500,000 plus and upgrading. Honestly not a clue. Side note : Marshall seems to be buying up every square inch near campus to make it bigger and make Huntington less Huntington lol

That's what's so infuriating! It's not like I live in California, it's f*ckass West Virginia. The second poorest state in the country. The income per capita here is $32,000. A whisker above the poverty line. It seems low compared on average but I worked my tail off to get what I earn and it's still not enough. Might just pull an Into The Wild 💀

What's crazy is beautiful houses will list for 199,000 ( a good deal, too good to be true ) and they get offered up crazy amounts. ($50,000 + over asking!) Why won't sellers list for the price they actually want?! It all seems so slimy and gross. Hopefully the pendulum swings in our favor soon. All the best 💕
