Well parts of Ohio might as well be in West Virginia! All of southeastern Ohio is part of Appalachia. Beautiful area, nice friendly people.

Marietta, Ohio, a lovely little city, is across the river from Parkersburg, West Virginia, used to have a steamboat festival. I don't know if they still do. There's a lovely old hotel in that town, the Lafayette, right on the Ohio River.

I grew up in the NE Ohio 14 mi from PA, but went to plenty of bluegrass festivals in WV and KY

kind of a tristate anthem..

My grandmother & her family were all from Marietta! 5 of my aunts, uncles, & cousins graduated from Marietta College. It’s where I met my husband ; ) During college I worked at a restaurant on the river & during the riverboat fest it was insane! My friends & I used to lazily tube down the river......memories.

We used to walk across the bridge over to Williams town, WV to a little Italian place.
