As the title says, I’m from Florida, and I want to visit West Virginia. I’ve lived in (extremely flat) Florida all my life, and fell in love with West Virginia’s landscape when I drove through it and stopped at the New River Gorge a few years ago. Now I want to revisit in summer 2025, and go all throughout the state. I already have a pretty detailed plan, but I just wanted to ask the locals about anything that I should know about before going, anything I should look out for, or any places worth visiting. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated, and I’m really looking forward to exploring more of WV!

Marshall wins and is going to the Sun Belt Championship to face against Louisiana!

i was wondering if anyone has driven on i-68 through preston today. i'm supposed to take that route tomorrow and i heard the roads were a bit icy so i wanted to know how driveable it was/what to expect

Due to an extended medical issue we received a disconnect notice. It says pay by Dec 5th. Can we pay on Dec 5th or need to before that date? My nerves are shot and I’m overwhelmed and over analyzing this. It is going to be very cold this week. I am trying to make sure I understand the deadline correctly. At this point every 24hrs counts. Thank you

The other day I posted a picture of a my potato egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I got (properly) reminded that we’re country folks here and that a proper sandwich uses a biscuit, not toast.

I apologize for my sins. I guess with my time living in CA I have forgotten the true ways. To atone for my transgressions I now present a proper breakfast sandwich.

In case you are wondering why the cheese is defying gravity, I did flip the sandwich at the last moment for the photo just to get the better side of the biscuit to show.

I might live in Cali right now - but my heart is true to my WV roots.

Passing through the state and would like to see some snow (I'm from FL and barely ever get to see snow)

What sports teams did WV residents support in the 1960s/70s? Interested in pro sports or not? (I'm doing research for a fictional character who grows up in a WV mining town, he was born in 1950).

And if you followed pro sports, what TV channels could you watch them on?

Hi all,

I'm taking a trip to Kanawha soon. I'm looking to hike in the woods. I work with the public, so I am looking for something where people are not around as much 😆. Maybe a loop with a tough hike but a nice view at the end? Or is there anything else I should check out or do in the park before I leave? Thanks for your help.

Hi all! Just moved to Barboursville WV and I’m trying to look into a good gym membership. Some background, I’m going to be commuting back and forth to Charleston for work so either a chain gym in both locations or a 24 hour gym would work! I’d like to keep the monthly budget under $50 to save money. I’d love to find a community where I could potentially make friends but I can’t afford a CrossFit gym at the moment 😂 nothing against other gyms and meeting people but CrossFit makes me take my headphones out and interact 😂 let me know what you guys think!

Hello everyone! I left WV a few months ago for a "job opportunity" we'll call it. Obviously being from WV I know what a pepperoni roll is, but my coworkers have no idea and they tell me it can't be as good as I'm making it out to be. I don't have an oven but I do have an air fryer, does anyone have any recipes for an air Fryer? Thanks :)

I have and I'm pretty sure most of us here have.. I ask that tho, because me and my fiance Chris have started a swordfighting group called DOA HEMA (Duelists of Appalachia, Historical European Martial Arts) and we're based out of the greater Charleston area.

I grew up watching things like The Princess Bride and Zorro and I always thought swordfighting was just something that was done in the movies.. I didn't actually realize it was accessible until the last couple years. But ever empty wrapping paper tube became my sword for the last 40 years.

Chris has been studying swordfighting for quite a while, and he's been a martial arts instructor for roughly a decade. I've only recently gotten involved (about 2 years now) but we looked into it and realized there was no local group here. So we started one and Chris is currently being certified as a HEMA instructor.

So whether you're interested in fighting with a German longsword, or maybe you lean more towards Italian rapier, or even if you're not sure yet but you want to get active, in general.. hit us up.

We're listed as "DOA HEMA" on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok. Hope to hear from folks. Let's show the other states what real Mountaineers can do!

I would like to carry brass knuckles on me at all times. I asked my local sheriff and they said flat out that they are illegal. I heard from other sources prior to asking the sheriff - locals and gun shops - and I've read online that it is legal with a concealed weapons permit. I'm not getting a consistent answer on this and unsure. Any help is appreciated.

Helping a friend butcher his deer and around 930 tonight we heard a massive explosion towards town. We're N.E. of town 10 miles or so out. No ems apps have Roane county dispatch that I've found. Haven't heard sirens either. We both felt the percusion followed by the sound. Was kinda spooky.

Edit: neighbor said it might have been a pump jack.

What’s on the menu?

Hello, I've lived here my whole art, and I've been a artist for most of my life, but I haven't ever really seen anywhere artists hang out besides a art walk I was in many years ago. Does anyone know of any art clubs? Most of all in Charleston. Please and thank you if you have any helpful info! :0)

Someone I know online found an old home movie of Buckwheat Festivals from the 1960’s, and is restoring it. The movie was found in New England, and needs a lot of restoration, but he posted this little clip from 1965. It’s long before even my time, but it’s fun to catch a little glimpse back.

So grateful people put so much work into projects like this, and even more grateful they share them with us.
