Yes, everyone who grows up here gets a “complex” about being a “hillbilly”, but we all love the state. I joke that it is like an exclusive club. If ANY of us WV’ians are traveling and see someone wearing a WV logo shirt or hat, we will flag the person down to ask where they are from and if they know a certain person.
Our schools are good in our county, but charter schools have reared their ugly head in the legislature and we may be about to get our first one. This will be the beginning of a downward slide for our public schools. It’s a damn shame.
