Good afternoon from the jumpseat. In my travels around this great country
spreading the #hoarding message I often
encounter people who know little about my home state. The comments range from: is that near
Richmond to isn't Charleston near the ocean (referring to Charleston SC). Many
not knowing that we are a state and not part of Virginia. Once past the
discovering where my home state is the discussion often goes to the hillbilly
jokes. So you get the point.
I must say one thing about my home state, WV people are the
nicest folks on earth! Yelp, I said it,
they truly know how to look after each other, even complete strangers. What WV lacks in numbers we make up for in
quality. The quality of our residents is
second to none. Recent storms that hit
the east coast hard served as a prime example of what WV is all about!
Here is a awesome blog from the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette on a
story of how a mayor of Fayettville opened his house to help some complete
strangers! I am very proud to say that I
live in West "By God" Virginia.
Be safe everyone ....
