West Virginia - Destination of Choice

Well, I recommend highly the town of Lewisburg. I loved this place.
Lots of small shops with very friendly owners. Many interesting places to browse. Friendly people interested in tourists. You have to stop in and see the antiques and fabulous vintage wine collection in Roberts's Antiques. Yes, an antique shop with exquisite wines. They also have coffee, and cheeses. This owner knows what makes life interesting.
Interested in great books? visit Open Book. They are also on the main drag, Washington Street, where parking is free and they are friendly as heck!

As a foreigner, I found an instant attraction to any shopowner who didn't make me feel like an intruder. Lewisburg was a place I would consider relocating to.

Huntington was a beautiful city, loads of upgrading and construction going on. Starbucks was as good as Starbucks gets. Always a place to go if you want to feel welcome. The new Starbucks in the Pullman Square mall on 3rd Ave. met the challenge. How hard can it be to let people know they are loved--yet few retailers get that.

More to follow.
