I believe the town had a strange name like War, West Virginia. This was actually painted from a still from a travel vlog on youtube. West Virginia might still be my favorite place I've ever been to, possibly other than the Anthracite coal region in Pennsylvania(I've been to many places in New England, the southeast, the midwest, Florida, Canada, and the Bahamas for comparison). The old towns surrounded by forested mountainous wilderness are something special. Loads of fond memories too. We went there with a church group to fix up houses several years in a row, and it was a blast.
Yes, the blotches in the upper middle are a mistake, and I don't know why I never fixed them before scanning the pic.

An interesting idea would be to paint the same road in different areas, so as you look at them, it follows the road. Kind of like an analog Google street view.
I gots KIN thar! (LOTS o' KIN! So many Kin, I don't even KNOW most of 'em!)
It's such a drop-down GORGEOUS State! It's also so damned economically crippled (The shut-down of the coal industry in general)! I'm still amazed (For all the bad reasons), that NO ONE has figured out another industry they can embrace, to haul their collective tushes OUT of the destitution that runs rampant in that State? Hell, POT is legal in many places (Though perhaps not the best place for large scale grow farms, even small home plots could make families financially stable again?), not to mention other stuffs that could be funded to start off a new way of making a living... Yet,,, nothing really happens?
*sighs*
Lovely piccie! I can never NOT think of Sissy Spacek and "Coal Miners' Daughter" when I see these kinds of images!
I got to go to West Virginia a bunch as a kid to see my dad up until 2011 then got to see some abandoned places that was neat to explore
