A beautiful state that is over-stereotyped
It’s a beautiful state that has a lot of attractions such as Black Water Falls, Seneca Rocks, Canaan Valley and many others. Their is a lot of stereotypes about West Virginia. Some examples are that we don’t wear shoes, we fuck our cousins, and we’re all very trashy. The truth is that most of these are not true. We have a few rednecks here, but there stereotypes are not always true. It’s just like any other state with cheesy suburban families and few trailer parks here and there. It’s low crime but there are lot of meth and crack heads everywhere. A LOT OF DRUGS!!!

A rugged, poverty stricken state with a naturally beautiful landscape and a unique population. West Virginia's poor economic infrastructure stems from the lack of an urban white-collar economy and collapse of the coal industry. The largest city in the entire state is Charleston, which is home to a mere 185,000 residents. However, the lack of a powerful economy has prevented suburban mall districts and McMansion golf course homes from destroying rural areas (as is common in most southern states). The result of this commercial isolation, rural living, and blue-collared work force is a truly authentic group of people who can only be defined as Mountaineers (which is the team name of West Virginia University). These Mountaineers are characterized by a love of the outdoors, a fondness of reckless partying, thier nasal southern/midwestern hybrid accent, and their generally gregarious attitudes. West Virginians usually inhabit small towns of about 15,000-45,000 where people live in modest homes on large sects of land, which explains the passion for all things outdoors. And with the beautiful, mountainous landscape, it is a perfect place to be an outdoorsman (especially in fall/winter). However, a large problem with West Virginia is fraud from those collecting from the goverment by either women who have pawned their children off on their parents, or by former laborers who file false claims of injury to collect money and prescriptions. Couple that with the large amount of productive young people who migrate to cities such as Baltimore, Pittsburgh, NYC, and Philadelphia, and there are not many young people with college experience who stay in the state.
In short, West Virginia is a pretty place without a city worth mention. Most people who live here are very easy going and fun, but also relatively uneducated and poor.
The state slogan is "West Virginia: Wild, Wonderful", and if it were ignoring economy, this would be a perfect description. Which is the reason I had to leave for Pittsburgh.

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
wife: take me home
me: TO THE PLACE I BELONG WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN MAMA TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS
wife *joins in*
both: COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME TO THE PLACE I BELONG WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN MAMA TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS.

The state in which I live in.
While other states were building their economies in various ways, WV spent too much time and effort in coal. Which left everything else severely underdeveloped. When the coal companies left, which wasn't too long ago, they took with them what our state had been based on. So were basically behind everyone else. But we are catching up.
Yes, we do have shoes. Poverty has always ran rampant in this state and often times people only could afford the bare necessities. And sometimes children have fun playing bearfoot. We are Mountaineers.
Incest...yes. The strong family ties and isolation has resulted in may a incestial relationship. But that has ended for the most part in this modern age. But incest occurs in Alabama, Iowa, in every state really.
Yes, we have accents. We live in hollers. We warsh. But I am proud of my accent and so should most people. New Yorkers have an accent, so...
We are part of the South at hearts. We were a Union state but the Confederacy is much celecrated around here and many of our forefathers fought for that side. Especially here in southern WV.
Our main problem now is working-class men who fake back injuries so they can receive pain medication. And disabilty. Almost everyone does it. Some sell the drugs to other people, and make a profit.
I'm proud to be a West Virginian. A southern West Virginian.

The 35th State admitted to the United States (on June 20, 1863). Its residents had petitioned for secession from Virginia in order to ally with the North in the American Civil War. President Lincoln signed it into statehood on the above date.
It is currently a state with a terrible economy based on coal and tourism. In terms of tourism, though, it has more to offer than one might expect.
Its electoral votes had gone to the Democratic candidate for decades prior to the 2000 election, and it has had two Democratic Senators and a Democrat as Governor for quite some time as well...so don't call it a "red state." That only proves that you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
For a quick, easy map of West Virginia, flip yourself off with your left hand. Extend your thumb to the side for the eastern panhandle. For slightly more accuracy, unfold one knuckle of your index finger.
I might have to drive through West Virginia this weekend.
