My mother graduated from Castle wood High, but it burnt down her senior year and so they had to take the buses to Dante, Va.

Colorful but evil. How could anyone live there after those women were raped by law enforcement. Another Sodom. But Y'all keep drinking the Whitesburg KY Kool aid and simply ignore the rape exploitation and drug addiction that is right in front of you. 🙊🙉🙈

Makes me proud to be raised in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia

That was beautiful country

I often wondered we're there any black communities in the appalachians hollers currently 2024

Yes you are correct Pennington Middle School used to be Pennington high School...

You would have to be careful also with those type of rural inbred people

Watching 9/28/24 from Beautiful Southern Iowa. Thank you, you folks are awesome, easy to understand Apple butter information. Bless you all🙏

this guy is crusin it is 25 mph

This was a great video. I've been wanting to go to West Virginia this year. But I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to. 😢

Reminds me of Missionary Baptist church services I attended for many years without the snake handling, speaking in tongues, drinking poison and the dancing. The music was lively but only piano and guitars were used. Never tambourines. And no dancing was ever done. What was same were being spontaneous, kneeling to pray out loud and all together at one time. The testimony s.

I don’t know how that little girl fell asleep on the pew ( bench) with service going strong. She must of been exhausted 😇😇😇

Democrat Party propaganda used to expand Big Government social programs.

I like that 1966 Chevy

Sounds like a lyric to a song?

Why is there a lot of copperheads in that valley?

I don’t see anything to do back in there? Jobs?

Amazing to see REAL REPORTERS! Today all we have is fake news except for FOX news. You CBS had the resources to help these people! It's common decency! Charity begins at home. While I appreciate being able to see this history, but it is sad that there was no real help for these people. It's 2024 and not much different Today except for worrying about being "woke" and what your gender pronouns are! Truly the most ridiculous entitled thing I have ever seen. Maybe if those people had to live like these people, they might have their priorities straight. I am losing hope for them though!😢😢😢😢😢

Thank you for the ride and your work! 💚 From Berlin/Germany :O)

Whoops! Did Shane not stop for a STOP sohn? Ha ha! For those of you who aren't familiar with Southetn accents, she said "sign."

Definitely the two of you are Southern. "The son died in a FAR" Fire, for those of y'all who aren't from the South.

Seems most times I drive thru there it looks like that or worse.

I am here because another video said "Appa lay can".

37:44 anyone know the name and/or words to this song? It’s very catchy!

You know what I find interesting, all the American flags hanging outside the buildings and not just in this video, I’m from the uk and u really don’t get that here, Americans proud of there country! Nothing wrong with that 😊

Interesting that you mention the traffic on I-26. you pretty much take your life in your hands trying to run that gauntlet every day for work...especially if you are attempting to make the Watauga-Unaka exit! Now I know it's not just me! Thanks Guys!

Oh man

Lewis Hall can afford cigarettes he sits there and smokes but not a thing for his kids for Christmas 🙄😡

13:08 yes, the population in the 60's, 50's and for many years was around 5,500.

What happened to the Collins family?!

Fantastic 😢

I always thought it was a holler, because you could just holler from one end of a valley to the other and everyone can hear you

This video made me feel grateful. And recall the best christmas I ever had I got an undershirt, a book and a small jewelry box. The sadness is that the Christmas culture of gift giving puts so much pressure on people.

Well done.

Uncle Brad at the RC Cola factory

Starvin Marvin was famous at Appalshop radio 😁

My grandson would love to see that big equipment.

How the money flowed to the companies but not to the community. This is tough to watch. I keep pausing to wipe my tears. There truly is dignity in work. I know that for myself. My industry has almost completely ended, too. God bless these folks and their souls.

What is this, the toilet store?

I always tell my sister I look worse than a haint from haintsville!! 😂😂Hugs from VA! ❤️‍🩹

Hi there, its been a while for me seeing your videos, i am going to check out a VERY nice house in Rock, seriously nice carpentry and over .6 of an acre Matoaka Rd, Rock, WV 24747

The Dr. Pepper and Rural Retreat myth is just that. Whomever made it up certainly didn't apply any facts to the story. Dr. Charles Pepper had nothing to do with it, or the men who invented it. "Dr. Pepper" was invented by a druggist in Waco, Texas, who happened to be an employee of pharmacy owner Wade Morrison. Since the concoction was a product of his drug company, Morrison had the honor of naming the drink. Morrison was originally from Christiansburg, VA, and had clerked in a drugstore there as a youth. Morrison's mentor there would have been Dr. William Alexander Reed Pepper (older brother of Dr. Charles Pepper), and practiced in Montgomery County his entire adult life. Young Morrison had 'kept company' with Dr. WAR Pepper's daughter, Millie, until Morrison's family moved to Texas in 1872. Dr. Charles Pepper began his practice of medicine in 1858, first in Pulaski County, then Giles and Washington Counties, and did a stint as a Surgeon in the Confederate Army, then around 1872, he moved to Rural Retreat. Dr. Charles didn't even open up his Rural Retreat store until 2 years after Morrison had left the state, so Morrison definitely never worked for him. Dr. Charles Pepper's only daughter wasn't born until 1874, 2 years after Morrison left the state, so Morrison certainly never dated her.

This should be shown at our schools now ESPECIALLY colleges
