Shepherdstown is a small town in the Eastern Panhandle of the gloriously white trash state of West Virginia. It is located along the Potomac River. It is also the oldest town in WV, founded in 1730. Age aside, it has also been rated most adorable small town in the country by a site I have forgotten. Google it, it's true.
It is a college town, home of Shepherd University. The students give the town a very fun and intoxicated vibe. There is also a large amount of cannabis consumption and about .5% of the population is heterosexual.
It is also a very dog friendly town. Pooches can be spotted at every corner and dining with their humans in some of the great restaurants such as Blue Moon, a very locally sourced family friendly establishment, the Green Pineapple, an asian fusion bubble tea place, or at Maria's Taqueria, the best Mexican place we have and it's not even "real Mexican". Order a burrito only if you don't want to eat for the rest of the day. After that, you won't need to. And don't forget China Kitchen! The best damn egg roles ever.
All in all it is a wonderful, liberal, forward-thinking town in the middle of a cesspool white trash state. If you ever visit enjoy it while it lasts because within a 15-minute drive it's all gone
I visited Shepherdstown today and enjoyed the scenic river overlooks and the wonderful food at one of the many adorable restaurants
