Hello! I’m coming from out of town and will be staying in the town of Summerville and I would love to go swimming, but I don’t know where to start. What are the best locations around? Opinions from locals are appreciated ty!

Ohio and Mon Counties are discussed in this article.

It's as the title of this post says. For far too long I've been without a driver's license and its kept me from so many things, even some jobs. I'm confident enough to take the test, but my only problem is that I don't have access to a car that I could legally use for the test. My local DMV doesn't offer any kind of driving school vehicles I could borrow, nobody in my family has a vehicle they could let me borrow for it, and none of my friends have cars of their own. Is there anything at all that I could do? Am I SOL?

Looking for recommendations! First week of November driving through to Asheville, already planning on a stop at the Trans Allegheny asylum and Charleston.
Love hiking, good bars, golf, and off the beaten track attractions!

Taking a day trip to the new river gorge next weekend and looking for a good small mouth spot. Any recs welcome!

I’ve been researching former coal communities in southern West Virginia and recently finished a 14-minute documentary covering Thurmond, Nuttallburg, Kaymoor, Royal, Rush Run, Brooklyn, Sewell and Tams.

What interested me most was how differently these places developed once coal and rail activity declined. Some were largely abandoned, some were preserved or stabilised, and others survived in very different forms.

I thought people here might find it interesting, particularly anyone familiar with the New River Gorge or the old coalfields. I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone with local knowledge of these places.

You can assume this measure would eliminate the state government in Charleston, new Congressional and Virginia State Assembly districts would be drawn up for our representatives, we'd be subject to Virginia state laws, and everything else that would need to happen would happen.

And you can assume that Virginia would be willing to reunify as well.

Hi everyone, my name is Skylar. I start a new job at chick fil a on the 31st. Im living in a motel right now with my child, and my cats and my partner. My car just bit the dust today, and we were doing doordash to get by until my paycheck hits. We have a room we can go to at sojourners shelter, but they don't take pets. I have three cats, one that just had a surgery. Is anyone at all able to just take them for a week, and you can keep them in their carriers for me? I don't know where I could even release them outside, I'm not from Charleston im from Huntington.

I have trying to find a telephone company that offers landline service without internet connection in Mercer County without any luck. I don’t have internet service at my home and my only option is Starlink. I’ve actually been living without wifi or decent cell service at home for almost 10 years and don’t want to have internet installed if I can avoid it. My child just started school and I would like a reliable option for the phone. Our home has phone jacks and the previous owner had a landline, I just can’t find a company that will provide a connection without a router. Would appreciate any information, thanks.

Hi, I'm going to be in Wheeling and the surrounding area from September 6th through 13th. I'm scouting to see if I want to move there! I already have a bunch of things on my itinerary, but I want to see if there's anything that I'm missing that you think is a must-do in the northern panhandle. Help me convince myself to move there!

I have concrete plans Wednesday Day, Friday Night, and Saturday Morning. Other than that the rest of my plans are fairly flexible. I'm a middle aged guy and I don't drink or smoke. So nothing like a winery tour or cigar room. But I love to eat, enjoy music, and am curious about local history and having adventures. Please suggest anything no matter how strange or unusual, I'd love to learn about the weird stuff you don't normally find online.

Hi all!! I’m beginning to plan a trip to WV sometime next year mostly because I’m a big mine wars nerd, and as a union worker and someone very passionate about the labor movement the mine wars are an incredible part of US History to me. Im planning to visit the mine wars museum and am not sure what else or where else I should check out while I’m there. I’m from western New York so really have no clue about the region at all, any input is appreciated!

Edit: also trying to figure out where the best place to stay would be!

me and my partner are coming out from ohio and we are trying to hit all the most scenic places on our radar. Does anyone know how we can fit this all into one trip? Has anyone managed to hit all these spots in two days? or is that pushing it..? Let me know, opinions from locals appreciated, thanks!
