We wouldn’t trade it for anything, but in a lot of ways West Virginia has ruined us. It’s ruined any chance we had at being happy anywhere else in the world, for one thing. Here are some other ways the Mountain State might have ruined you:

  1. You’ll probably never be as impressed with a mountain sunset as with the ones you get to see here.

  1. Most West Virginians drive, and we’ve got mostly small towns, so you might not have ever used public transportation before.

  1. You might think the people are this friendly everywhere…but they’re not.
