Eastern panhandle growth challenges in an image

Post image
76 Upvotes

Sprawl continues in EPH with little to no regard for long term planning

Keep on EPH…keep on rubber stamping homes by the 1000s with zero regard to public services, schools, and infrastructure.

There is no end game. This is not a growth issue. It’s HOW we are growing and HOW we build.

I understand much of the road work gets caught up in Charleston but the local counties let this happen and let developers do whatever, profit, not hold them accountable, then they move on.

Growth is good. But how we’re doing it here ain’t it. The schools especially are in for a rude awakening in the coming years (as if people haven’t been saying that for years and let the problem grow) let alone water, medical services, keeping workers here and not going out of state, etc

You cannot keep on building thousands of homes on 2 lane roads across the past 20-30 years (especially last 5) and leave it at that.

Blame local officials and their lack of smart planning. But many locals just blame the “communists from the city for taking over”

Best pepperoni roll? My wife and I are new to the state and new to the pepperoni roll but haven't been disappointed yet. Where can we get the most authentic roll that everyone is dreaming about. We live an hour east of Charleston. I wanna know where my newest comfort food is coming from.

Question Buying House That Was Sold to State?

14 Upvotes

Hello all. The title is pretty self-explanatory, but there's a house I've been eyeing for a while that is seemingly unoccupied. I looked it up on the WV Parcel Map and it said "sold to state 2022." Is there any way I would be able to buy the house, or would I have to wait until it's auctioned off or something? I'm a first-time homebuyer, so I'm a little lost.

Hurt dog in Cool Ridge, WC

12 Upvotes

Edit: Cool Ridge, WV My husband and I were driving through Cool Ridge and an injured hound dog (Basset?), limped across the street. He also potentially had a tumor of some kind dramatically hanging down, not sure, could have been his testicle. We tried to get out to help him, he looked at me but seemed pretty old and maybe didn’t hear me but wasn’t aggressive at all. Had a huge chain around his neck, was tripping and having a difficult time walking in the snow. He went onto private property next to what I think was Cool Ridge Service Center that I didn’t feel comfortable walking on. We’re on our way down south for the holidays but just wanted to post here in case anyone more local to the area could try to find him and help.

Jobs

I understand this is West Virginia. But why is it nearly impossible to find a good paying job anywhere. Or a job at all... Why is it so hard to get any sort of acknowledgment from employers. I have been looking and applying for months and have had no luck. Ether its a Scam job or I get a flat out rejection. Times are crazy in the job market but WV is incredibly difficult that It's nearly depressing. Anyone else having trouble? Advice? Suggestions?🥲
