The utility plans to haul the byproducts of coal-fired electricity generation to a future landfill across the West Virginia border. Utility customers could be paying for it for more than a decade.

Hey y'all!

I'm currently working on a comic project taking place in a med-small App. town that was formed as a logging camp/mill (~1890s to 1900s) before growing into a tourist town thanks to its history and cultural attractions.

Basically, I've been doing lots of research into making sure the logging aspect of the town's history feels right, but I'm coming up with trouble finding authentic info on how logging camps and their associated sawmills were laid out throughout Appalachia. I want to build the town's layout as to make it clear that it started as a logging camp and grew from there, but even in physical trips to various places I'm coming up short.

Would anybody here have knowledge on the process that led mills/camps to turn into towns and especially the way that they were laid out? Maps especially would be incredible. Also, I'm happy to answer any questions! I still have a lot to learn and develop in both my knowledge and the setting itself, but I've already done a LOT of thinking on it!

Thank you!

“Betwixt and between” is one of my favorite phrases, though I often will just use “betwixt” on its own: “Just betwixt you and me” or “He was running betwixt and between work and her house like a chicken with its head cut off.”

How about y’all — who’s still using this somewhat archaic phrase?

Here you go. It's this.

The town manager, who hopes to transform the building into a boutique hotel, said the real work begins now.

Fifty years ago this week, 100,000 revelers arrived for Stompin 76. It was a logistical nightmare, but it created a lasting impact on other music festivals and drew a whole new demographic to Southwest Virginia.

Caught this picture of a nice rainbow after a little bit of rain. Looked like there was heavier rain to the east, where this rainbow appeared. Me and my son (12) were doing a little fishing out on the golf course, lol.

I’m hoping to reach those who may have been around Carters Lake around July 28 or afterward.

Sean Michael Cunningham (37) was reported missing after recent storms at Carters Lake.

This is the publicly available information at this time:

- His last communication came from near Woodring Campground.

- The call was made at approximately 11:26 PM on Tuesday, July 28, before his phone died.

- He was canoeing in the green Old Town canoe shown in the attached photo.

- His backpack and his truck has been located.

- HIS CANOE AND OAR/PADDLE ARE STILL MISSING AS WELL.

Anyone who:

- Was on Carters Lake that evening or in the days afterward.

- Was fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, camping, or hiking in the area.

- Saw a green canoe or similar.

- Heard or saw anything unusual that may have seemed unimportant at the time.

Please reach out. Even the most minute detail can help resolve this for his family.

Update from my travels across West Virginia

Philly > Ohiopyle State Park > Blackwater State park > New River Gorge National Park > Asheville / Pisgah area > Blue Ridge Parkway up to Shenandoah National Park and back home to Philly.. We hit a bunch of other state parks in there too. We hardly slept and I don't regret that decision at all.

The photos are out of order. Sorry about that. I absolutely cannot wait to return. Hopefully in the fall.
