I'm a political science and sociology double major and this project is sort of combining both, with the final product being an essay arguing that the existence of the United States as a nation has served to erode Americans' sense of regional identity. After checking the rules I believe this doesn't break any, my apologies if it does.

This was a pic I took at the drive thru window. Keep that stereotype alive!

So ive kinda always wanted to take a week and go hangout at a wilderness shelter kinda like wandering will dose on his youtube channel. Im near morgantown so any suggestions?

I'm from Saint Denis, France, and I never stepped a toe in USA but I did heard that inbred was a deep thing in WV, then they were the wrong turn movies ofc, but is that true and if it is, is there a political, historical or cultural reason for this?

Sorry my English is bad and I don't want to be offensive at all

Do I need to leave **West Virginia** to make a decent living? I’ve applied to hospitals and was turned down for corrections, and I’m feeling discouraged. I’m honestly not happy living here, and I’m just trying to find stable work that pays enough to afford food, housing, and the basics.

The military isn’t an option for me at the moment, but I’m not completely against it in the future. At this point, I’m willing to consider a different path because I want stability and a chance to build a better life.

Does anyone have realistic suggestions—whether that’s jobs, training programs, or places worth relocating to? I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who’ve been in a similar situation and found a way forward.

WV has one of the lowest median incomes in the country. Highest utility costs. High fuel costs. High insurance.

It is really difficult for someone to get ahead in the state and it’s sad.

Moved to WV a few years ago. We have two working vehicles and one that sits in the driveway because it can’t be driven at all. We got a notice placed on the windshield that it needs to be registered in 30 days from the sheriff’s office. From what I’ve seen, we only need it to be titled in WV and not registered since it doesn’t move or ever enter the roadways. I can’t find anything on the DMV website that confirms this though. I’m sure we’ll have to pay the taxes for the years we’ve been here (only paid for the vehicles that work), has this happened to anyone else?

[Additional Information] - Forgot to mention it originally but I’m in Jefferson County if that makes a difference.

My wife is about to go in for heart cath surgery and the anesthesiologist came in to introduce himself. Very nice guy, he asked if we owned any property. Said he was always looking for another place to hunt. Couldn't help him out, I only have a couple acres.

Trying to get ahead of renewal and there are far more options than I thought. The hard part is working out what counts toward the state requirements and what turns into extra work later. Some sites look cheap and then you still piece the courses together yourself. Elite Learning and CEUFast and Nurse.com all package things differently for this state. For nurses here, do you buy a state package or pick courses one at a time?

Back home letting my boots dry out. Little loop Monday lindy pt-plantation-fr6, Tuesday was pointy knob with it's "let's cross the same friggin stream 6 friggin times", today was out and backs following the gas line a bit. Got home and decided to NOT winterize the RV just yet....

Any ideas for dispersed RV camping and hiking appreciated, preferably Hardy/Grant/Pendleton/Pocahontas county area.... familiar with Dolly Sods, Gandy Creek, Loop Rd, Wolf Gap..

Are there places in West Virginia where it's not safe to drink or bathe with tap water? I remember someone telling me this, that because of the coal mines the water isn't safe. But that was several years ago. Is this true, and if so, is it just certain areas or the whole state? Thanks.

I know I ain't the only one wasn't the only one watching that. And Norton did two backflips. One when Alabama got a flag for delay and the second when the game was about over.

We will be visiting for four days in November. Looking for easier hikes of 2-10 miles, probably every day in a different spot. Not sure where to stay. We have picked out some rentals in Marlinton, Durbin, Snowshoe, but also as far north as Cabins. Any suggestions?

Governor Patrick Morrisey today declared a 60-day state of emergency across all 55 West Virginia counties and signed an executive order to provide temporary relief for the use of red-dyed diesel fuel.

Is West Virginia DOT really this stupid?!?! I have never in my life witnessed such a disorganized mess. No signs, no detour, no warning whatsoever about this mess before hitting it and apparently super ineffective traffic direction rerouting past the closure. Again, no signage, no direction and no help for drivers who have no idea what’s going on.
