I've lived in Bluefield for 6 years. It's a great little city. The natural beauty of this area is unbeatable. There are many beautiful old homes built in the early 1900s. Enjoyed your video.

Welch West Virginia was home to the first municipal parking building in the United States.

Every youtuber that goes to wv ends up at Itmann. There's so much more there.

It’s pronounced it man Ittman. 👍

I was born in Beckley WV. I lived in Bluefield for a few years. They are in the process of removing old buildings.

I was blessed to call Jonesborough home for most my life, and it is still home. My first job was at Cornbread Coffee shop, which was right across the street from the Courthouse! 💗

Extremely interesting and very high quality. I’d love to visit the area, thanks for sharing.

Great video. Thx

Did you ever go to sulfer springs and see the coal house? If so, what episode was it?

More singing 😂 thanks for taking the hike big Mike

A new subscriber. I hope you continue to grow.

Thank you

Mike, you should have stopped by the Jack Caffree Center in Welch. Tons of historical artifacts from the area. Very interesting.

Thanks, Mike, for such a close-up and personal look at this historical town. It certainly makes me want to visit Jonesborough, Tennessee!

Bluefield Orioles class of ‘07 Beaver-Graham game at Mitchell Stadium was cool experience.

The one building you didn’t get the name of in Beckley was the judicial annex. It was built on the site of the former GC Murphy’s store.

That Hotel Wyoming in Mullens you passed was in its heyday a well known and terrific hotel. Babe Ruth and John Kennedy stayed there.

I believe that the excavators you saw were for the demolition of the Montgomery Ward’s building. There had been a few downtown buildings that were in poor shape that had to be torn down. That tall building you commented on used to be a hotel and is now apartments for seniors.

The pale blue painted porch ceilings is done solely because of silly superstitions. Jonesborough is a lovely little town.

My home town. I lived on Poplar street. Bluefield has really changed. and Thank you for sharing Bluefield with others.

That new Coalfields Expressway is a great improvement over the old way.

I live in NC but have been all over that area for the last 25 years. Itmann is pronounced It Mann. Not eyetmann. 👍😂

Say a big PRAYER so Jesus can hear you and knows you believe in him! GOD bless love your video.

Once worked in the Bluefield WV post office

Nice road trip to bad it was raining and foggy nice big campground drive safe and God bless you all

Your videos are the best. You do such a great job and so informative. We love history so these videos have helped us to plan an upcoming trip to east Tennessee.❤

My husband & I are recovering from Covid and uTube suggested this channel. I was listening to your video while lying down with my eyes closed and immediately thought: that sounds like Mike Friday! I opened my eyes, saw a snippet of the travado and I thought: that looks like Mike and Karen’s van! Then it showed a snippet of you, and as bad as I feel, it made me chuckle. Couldn’t believe it-didn’t know about this channel. We of course subscribed😊. Another great channel and a pick me up for the day!

I used to live in West Virginia for 8 months beautiful roads well maintained

Not been much work here since Reagan shut everything down in 1980 lot of the people left cause when you are born here in the mts it's coal mines moonshine or move on down the line

Alot of my family live in Beckly. My couisin has a home remodeling buisness there.

I love ur voice. Great video. 😬💙

Just subbed cheers from australia

Poor State ! I feel sorry for the citizens that can't afford to leave

The town of Itmann, WV is not pronounced the way you said. My dad worked for the mines there 34 years and it is pronounced “it man” after I. T. Mann.

I enjoyed this video ❤

When i travel i like to go back country roads beautiful scenery love the video safe travels and God bless you

My family is from Tyler county. Our cousin Cecil Underwood was the governor and one of the first politicians to use TV in an artfull manner and I have a clip where he proposes that abandoned coal mines should be museums for tourists. Well, there ya go 😅 Can't wait to move back and see Ohio and West by God Virginia and New York. Videos like yours are so helpful.

We were doing ok until 1980 then Reagan happened he ruined it all other states too

The population is dropping yearly , nothing there anymore.

Nothing like that when I was young.

When I was a kid we went to WV every summer. Had cousins and great aunts/uncles there. We’d stop in Moorefield to get groceries and then go go up 40 miles to the family farm. Cook stove in the kitchen, really back in the day. We’d go to Bluefield but don’t remember why, maybe it was for a auction. It was a beautiful time, beautiful country. My parents are gone now so can’t ask them. Thank you for the video.

stay safe god bless

very good job

Good Morning ; welcome to almost heaven!!! if you are going north, take a drive around weston, elkins and parsons, very nice country roads and small towns along the way.

Just found this channel so far it's as good as Friday for ever but i miss Karen and Winston

Great video if your still in west virgina you should check out the ittman company store in ittman wv

We are looking for the cheapest farmhouse in the East Tennessee please thank you

Very nice walk and talk video on downtown Jonesborough, TN, Mike! Very well done! Also, I thank you so much for respecting and paying homage to the former residents of Jonesborough who are at rest in that historic cemetery. I wish more people would take the time to visit cemeteries/graveyards to help ensure that those folks who are buried there are not forgotten, after all, they all are an important part of our history. GOD bless!

We’re going to visit there next spring…

Santa Fe is the oldest town in the U.S.A. Older than Jonesboro. Much more history also.
