"West Virginia Values" and culture - let's get specific

What, to you, are values or cultural aspects that are unique to West Virginia?

I hear a lot about what kind of people we are or what kind of culture we have and usually it's boilerplate "friendly, hard working, resiliant" that could be said about anywhere.

So, frankly the harder question I'm interested in, is what is exclusive or unique about our values and culture?

Good, bad, or indifferent... because I have a sneeking suspicion we do a lot of self-soothing

Group camping in Monongahela NF

Hey there!

I’m planning to group camp with about 10 friends of mixed camping experience near or within Monongahela National Forest in September. I’m aiming to do a scoping trip this September 2026 with the hopes of doing the whole big thing September 2027. We want to visit Dolly Sods, Gaundineer Scenic Area, and maybe hit up a horseback trail.

Wondering if there are any experienced goers out there who know of relatively private, but not necessarily primitive, campground/group campsite that’s unique to the area. I love the idea of a fire tower, waterfront views, or a good eyeline to the ridge. Preferably something I can reserve, rather than FCFS.

Ideally with access to a bathroom (primitive is fine) but I know that’s already a lot of criteria to navigate. Most of us would be tent or car camping, so a site that can hold that many cars/tents is ideal.

We don’t want to be butted up against other families and kids at a popular campground but, again, I know the criteria is already restrictive :)

Thanks in advance!!

Is anyone else starting to get annoyed with Micheal Bowman/BowmanTV ?

I mean I respect that he’s trying to help out Worthington, but he’s from out of state, he came here, shoved cameras in peoples faces, stirred up trouble, and is now facing charges after an incident at town hall. I just feel like he’s just another person coming to our state for personal gain and then leaving when it suits him. On top of all that he made this TikTok where he was debating Amy Jo Hutchison, and he acted like he was in the right - which rubbed me the wrong way.

I just wanna hear y’all’s opinion on this.

Looking for a vet

I’m moving back to West Virginia and looking to establish care with a veterinarian clinic. I’ve noticed there’s no VCA in the area so I’m looking for the next best thing. We have 3 dogs. I’m going to be in the Huntington area and don’t mind a bit of a drive for a good vet. Any recommendations are appreciated, thank you!

Cardiologist Recommendations in Charleston area

My husband had a wild ride this past week; he went from a trip to MedExpress for a cold to being transported by ambulance to CAMC Memorials Cardiopulmonary ICU unit.

Unfortunately this is America, and he/we couldn't afford to continue missing work so he had to leave AMA today. Can anyone recommend a cardiologist/cardiothoracic surgeon he can follow up with? Memorial just didn't get to a lot of the ordered tests (Cardiac MRI, heart cath, some other stuff in probably forgetting because I haven't slept more than an hour at a time in the past four days). He got a rather serious diagnosis so the quicker he can get in somewhere, the better
