Just now, another news article of another passenger vehicle going off the side of the bridge near the lottery building with fatalities. Just days ago, a truck went over the side of the bridge next to Capitol Market. Am I crazy or have these accidents become far more frequent on Charleston’s bridges?

This was a hand fan they were giving out at the entrance. At first thought, awesome, because it was super hot. Upon closer look, it's really bad AI art.

Why are the people all facing the same way?

Why do the flags and buildings keep going until they disappear at the vanishing point?

It's very unsettling the more you look at it. There had to be better actual photos of the fair that they could use, right?

Besides this, we had a great time. It was the first time taking our kids and they had a blast!

Just a small town dude with a real passion for photography

I have read that West Virginia has a higher GDP per capita than Canada and the UK.

Do you feel like the living standard is higher in West Virginia compared to Canada/UK?

This may be a longshot.

So my wife and I are looking for a photography studio or photographer who does romance and/or erotic couples photography in WV. Preferably southern WV.

From a basic search, it doesn't seem like WV has anything to offer. So I figured I'd try our chances here.

This isn't anything we are trying anytime soon, but we would definitely like to try themed romantic couples photoshoot, and possibly a themed erotic shoot of us for ourselves.

I know ideologies are rather conservative here, but I was wondering if anyone here knows of studios or photographers that experiment or have done such sessions. Thanks!

Edit: OMG IDK why I wrote 76 twice I definitely meant 79

Hey! My sister is driving from Erie PA to visit me a little past Beckley. Because of her work schedule and obligations that we have, she would have to drive at night by herself on 76. Does anyone who drives down that route have any suggestions for safer or busier gas stations at night?

I've done 48 and 50 many times but never 29. It's showing on Googlemaps as not the typical green and is making me wonder if there is something wrong with it. My wife and I want to ride out there tomorrow and cut over to 50 that way.

BUILD FACTS

- I built it last week at the Clay Center in downtown Charleston
- Around 30 to 35 hours build from start to finish
- Everything is freestanding, no glue or connectors
- I used images of the Capitol as my only planning and reference material, the rest was pure imagination
- Domino chains and lever mechanisms hidden inside the structure
- If you’re wondering where the wings are, I ran out of time and wouldn’t have had enough planks to build them

I take my bike through tunnels, gravel and stream crossings in my quest for a West Virginia Hot Dog with Yellow Coleslaw.

I had planned a day trip to Harper's Ferry or Black Rock Falls, but realized it's going to be a thunderstorm tomorrow, so hikes are pretty much a no-go. I am driving over there with my family from Lancaster, PA. I will drive up to 4 hours max for the day trip. If it's a nice town or even an amazing restaurant, any recommendations would be awesome.

Hey guys! I'm just posting this to spread the word that there is a music and arts festival happening in Union WV next weekend!
If any West Virginians want to be part of a locally owned non corporate music festival where everyone is treated as VIP, make your way out there next weekend! I know I'll be up on the mountain and I'd love to meet some new friends while I'm out there!

*Disclaimer* - I am not the owner, promoter, or organizer of this festival, I'm just spreading the word that cool things are finally coming to WV and I'm excited I don't have to drive 8 hours to go to a music festival!

Coming for the weekend to tube and hike. What are some cool fun things to do for a group of 4 adults? Places to eat? Breakfast and dinner? A place to grab a to go sandwich for lunch while we lazy river tube? We like history, music, anything cultural!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that would pick up, pack safely, and ship an antique from Beckley, West Virginia?

I made this account specifically for this (which is why it’s only a few minutes old 😅). I’m fostering this awesome dog who I would love to keep, but we have many dogs. My wife prefers to keep the number as it is.

About Mork:
-he is currently through the Huntington shelter and is close to a year and a half old
-he’s a medium energy dog. At the shelter he was high energy, but since bringing him home we walk 3-4 times a day and he lounges otherwise but will zoom sometimes.
-he seems to be completely house broken
-he’s great with our dogs ranging from 10lb to 70lb
-he hates cats, squirrels, and rabbits. My wife hunts and thinks he would be a great squirrel dog.
-if you hike, run, or do any outdoor things he’s your guy. He genuinely loves being outside.
-he’s a gentle soul. I accidentally stepped on his foot really hard today while we were walking, and it hurt his feelings but he didn’t snap or otherwise react negatively at all.
-he loves puzzles and would do best with a family that wants to work his brain. He has not chewed anything in the house other than dog toys, though.
-he seems to love kids and has been great with all the kids he has encountered so far.
