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

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!

Wonderful! Praying your recovery is going well.

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.

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

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.

[@klmiller333]

It’s pronounced it man Ittman. 👍

[@ronaldisom2190]

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

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

[@michaelbragg6903]

You can feel sorry for people like that in every city and state in the country. A lot of West Virginians don’t want to leave. Why go to another place where people will not help you if you need it and would let you suffer? That doesn’t happen in West Virginia.

[@davebryant8050]

@@michaelbragg6903 The thing is if they would move to where there's work they wouldn't be waiting on somebody or the govt. to help them. I spent 50 years there and I know who's still there.

[@DebbieMcHaffa]

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.

[@smalltownbackroadsrv]

I gave it an ole country boy try...haha. Thanks for sharing!
