Thanks for the ping.

I grew up in WV. My parents still live in Huntington in the same house I grew up in.

The opiod crisis in WV is absolutely horrible. I saw it 1st hand when I was visiting last October. My parents tell me they see used needles in parking lots most every day. The economy in their area of WV has been on a steady decline since the 1970’s & the population has dropped from close to 100k folks to barely 40k just in Huntington alone.

What a nightmare!

I was in Huntington 3 months ago
as well as Charleston and Beckley

My family is 8 generations WVa
It was very depressing seeing the regional rot

I have loved that state, and still do
