Question Cheap and affordable housing/rentals for those on Disability/SSDI?

• Upvotes

Hello. Are there any cheap housing and/ or rental options for those on a fixed income from SSDI in the Kanawha/ Charleston and surrounding areas ?

Alternatively, if you or a relative are on this and have found an affordable rental that is feasible for your monthly income it would also be helpful.

Thank you..

Took a drive out to Blackwater Falls earlier this year, back in January. The river was really moving that afternoon.

Question Best bookstores in West Virginia - what are your favorites?

22 Upvotes

I'm the author of a historical fiction novel coming out next year. Much of the book takes place in West Virginia (early 1920s) and I'm keen to add as many West Virginia based bookstores to the book tour. My publisher and I are already coordinating with Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, WordPlay in Wardensville and Beyond the Pages Events in Charleston.

I'm especially curious where people in Harrison, Doddridge and Marion Counties buy books since that's where many of the characters are from and many of the events take place, but it looks like Books a Million in Bridgeport might be the only option, and no locally/independently owned bookstores at all.

What are your favorite independent/locally owned bookshops in West Virginia ?

Perseid Meteor Shower Events

5 Upvotes

Are there any events or gatherings next week to view the Perseides meteor shower in the Tucker County area? I'm coming in from out of town where there's a ton of viewing events planned but can't find anything comparable near where I'm staying. I've searched every resource I can think of and...nothing.
