At least west Virginia is pretty. Y'all have some awesome natural beauty. Too bad it's fucking depressing

I know people who live in the woods of WV and commute to northern Virginia/Maryland for work. They seem to all love it, and I can’t blame them. WV is pretty.

My old boss did that, lived in WV and commuted all the way into Bethesda every day. He spent DC money on WV land, so he lived well. His commute was long, but he shifted his schedule off-peak, spent the extra money on a very comfortable car, and genuinely appreciated having long and quiet car rides to himself every day.

If there’s a place to enjoy a car ride it’s gotta be those mountain roads

Fucking sketchy if the mountains are big enough, and you're tired after work.
