Yes there really is a town in WVa called "Nitro" they used to make that during the war.

Cool...used for mining, no doubt! I’m glad this guy is nowhere near Trump’s next rally!

Here’s a chance for the FBI to demonstrate that they are still capable of doing “some” good.

Yes! Born & raised there!

Name comes from a WWI munitions plant built there. Originally the area was called Lock 7 - for the 7th lock on the Kanawha River. I was told it didn’t incorporate and get the name Nitro until 1948. My late great uncle drew up the incorporation papers and was the town’s first city attorney.

For the time one of the munitions plant was on the largest government sponsored projects to support the war. A teenage Clark Gable worked there.

What's he worth? 10 grand now?

Yeah, and the ‘sister’ chem plant to Bhopal, India is right around there also.
When we drive up to Ohio I hightail it by that area to US 35.

Sounds like a ‘booming’ town to me.

This jackass is running around in the Trumpiest State in Trumpland, full of armed deplorables. Be a shame is something happened to him.

While on the subject of the Charleston area, the State Capitol bldg. is gorgeous.
