I was born & raised in Huntington, WV & graduated from Marshall University. After I retired, I relocated to Memphis, TN in 2016. It’s interesting to look through your camera lens to see how much has remained the same or changed since I left. Businesses have moved to other locations. A building near Marshall has been demolished. The old WPA brick streets from FDR’s New Deal are still being used. I commend you for a positive piece about the city from a reviewer who had no stake in the pot. Nicely written. PS It’s pronounced “CAB - ell” county.

I live in Huntington, and thankfully, you didn't go too far down into the west end part. That's where it's not the safest. Also that one brick house you showed with the big porch that was boarded up, was own my my childhood best friend's son's grandfather. He sadly past away from covid and it use to be a massage therapy school. It wasn't in the best shape on the inside but it is huge, and has beautiful stairs. After he passed away, one of his kids took it over and they let it get in that shape to where the city took it over. Alot of the houses are in that shape because of the people who own them sadly and just don't wanna fix them so the city takes control of them. And also the house next to the brick one had a fire inside and it's not safe at all inside, but yet it's still standing. It is a beautiful town, just parts of it aren't in the best shape. I grew up in Barboursville so when I started living in the city in my early 20s I was shocked by some things. Thank you for showing the good parts and having positive thoughts on some of the houses, because they are beautifully built just alot of older one that do need some TLC as you said.

Hello from Barboursville,WV. I was born in Huntington, raised on Lesage. The first T in Huntington is pretty much silent, and it is Cab-El County, not Kab-Bell County. The guy who wrote Lean on Me was also born in WV and loved in Huntington when the song was written. There is also a catacomb system under the city that was used for several things. One is the undergrpund railroad. There's rumored to be an old mob speak-easy and a mock throne room of the Queen of England. The former Pullman Plaza Hotel (formerly the Raddison) is built with structural cables and will sway in hard winds. The previous owner, Marshall Reynolds, never wanted to put money in it when he owned it, which is why Doubletree had to pour a ton of cash into renovations.

June 1985 I turned six years old and my grandmother took me to the opening of The Goonies at Keith Albee. The line to get in was a sprawling hot mess but it was well worth it. We lived on 12th Avenue then moved to Hal Greer Blvd where I went to Meadows for 2nd through 4th grade before we moved to Ohio in 1989. If you were in Huntington during the 80s, give me a shout out. That truly was an epic time. My friends and I could play anywhere at anytime without one problem. We would roam from near Miller over to Ritter Park and further on to Enslow Blvd where my best friend lived. His parents were our leaders in the Cub Scout den we were in. So many epic times. I won a free ice cream at Meadows for a spelling bee then walked across the street to Baskin Robbins to redeem only to drop the double scoop on my way out the door. Nothing like growing up Gen X. Thank you for this treasure.

The public park systems are surprisingly good, Huntington Museum of Art is an excellent institution and Marshall University has been expanding and working with the city to revitalize parts of the city core; also the city has finally started on a backlog of deferred maintenance to infrastructure after 5 decades. I just wish more could be done in the meantime to save more of the grand old houses boarded up in disrepair owned by absentee landlords.

This is so much of a trip through Memory Lane. My hometown of Cincinnati had an Albee Theater, although it has only survived in fragments unlike Huntington's. I think my late brother-in-law was born in the Huntington Albee. His parents were Vaudvillians from Chicago. They were contracted to a company in Cincinnati. When he was born in West Virginia, his Birth Certificate read Cincinnati. He never visited Cincinnati until he married my sister. In his 60's, he said that he would like to visit the city of his birth just once before he died! My father's family were riverboat people from upstream of Huntington (Pomeroy OH and Mason City WV). My mother's family were railroad people from downstream (mainly near Maysville KY). I lived near Huntington, but closer to Charleston) in 1989-90. I have been through Huntington so many times. As an FYI, Huntington has been hit harder by the ongoing opioid crisis than just about anywhere else. That may explain some of the crime numbers.

Have always wanted to visit the continental US but sadly the Australian dollar has morphed into the Australian Peso and the exchange rate kills the idea. From anecdotal tales from friends the US is a bit cheaper than some of the things here in Oz but following your videos it looks about the same. I was thinking of starting off in Miami and then working my way north but train and them crossing to Chicago and then training down the middle to New Orleans and then back to Oz via Fort Worth. Might be able to afford a short trip to the West Coast, Frisco, LA, Vegas etc. hopefully the Oz dollar might rally against the Greenback…but I doubt it.

What a beautiful city and still very active as well. The state has done quite a bit to make it desirable to live there and become part of the community. Thank you for sharing and you have a great day and safe travels. Happy Holidays to you and yours
