It would be a great day trip!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590117698519613056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489126.post-60534641418356691982008-09-18T19:02:00.000-07:002008-09-18T19:02:00.000-07:00How far is it from Bluefield, Sarah?

It is a really really nice little town. It is really a neat little gem tucked away in this little corner of Mercer County. It's not too far from Bluefield, soo if you are ever headed south to VA or NC, you should take a few extra minutes and drive through. It's worth it. It is small, so it doesn't tkae long to check it out.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590117698519613056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489126.post-81269160539594460922008-09-04T07:42:00.000-07:002008-09-04T07:42:00.000-07:00It's interesting that so many WV towns have these ...It's interesting that so many WV towns have these huge mansions, relics of the coal and steel baron days. Wheeling's National Road is lined with palacial houses and a tiny village like Sistersville, has these outrageous places that make the run down typical houses look even more like shacks. I guess it's jstu our legacy. It's amazing to me though, that people sill want big coal to come and take all we have. Heck, the barons don't even do us the favor of living among us and dropping a few bucks into our local economies anymore. With mountaiintop removal, they don't even leave the towns!Ruppiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344753661796643807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489126.post-19398457855325495432008-09-04T06:08:00.000-07:002008-09-04T06:08:00.000-07:00Excellent point.
