My job moved down there and it was an absolute nightmare at every level. And I grew up in West Virginia, so my standards were already pretty low.

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.

Makes sense. I live in Central MD, and recently saw WV housing prices. I legitimately had the thought that I could buy a second house out there just for fun, because they're so much cheaper.

I still might. Getting away from the rat race is appealing sometimes.
