On this video, we are hanging out at the Creepy Cruise on Mercer Street, in Princeton, WV! This has quickly become one of my favorite Halloween events in the area.

My great grandpa is on one of those town hero’s it’s the one at the turn when right out of the main town of Bradshaw going to Raysal
Wish I could hear what you're saying it's all static.
I have a lot of family in this area..... beautiful country
My Dad's country where he grew up
I may have traveled through there on way to work site in War wv. But looks like Welch, Kimble, and war.
A lot of these old towns look alike.
Would you happen to know the brown family then. James Russell brown. He made furniture. People around there called him rusty but he had three girls. Lauraine Ruby and Maxine there father and mother died and ruby claims that they had to climb a mountain to bury them. Would you happen to know where that cemetary is. Not the blevens cemetary but the one that's on the hill.
Sorry, but I sure don’t.
Thank you for this tour🎉
Thanks for watching! It was a pretty place to visit.
It's very weak of what kind of festival this is what needs to be done the next time get reithoffer shows / strait's shows / wade shows .that would be a very nice festival if anyone of these shows come to town with lots & lots of rides for adults and kids

Why isn't anyone there. If they can't sell tickets just let everyone in to fill it
I actually want to go back
I live in Mohawk with the love of my life
At 1:15 I had a beautiful picture
How long does it take to get to the top?
From the highway at the bottom? Maybe 10 minutes.
Old stomping grounds, thanks.. It’s mind blowing of how desilated it looks compared to the 70’s and 80’s. Mind blowing. New roads are coming to southern WV, being worked now. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
Gatlinburg Tennessee is a joke its a carnival town.Give my part back to the Indians. 😊
Good to see Sonia Coleman's shop is still there even if he isn't. RIP Sonia.
I'd love to find 😢rent to own or even an acre or two in or near this place to retire...
Unfortunately, that can be hard to find.
3:05 good music. Who is the artist?
I hate hightail so I would rather go through the mountain then over it .
Through it is definitely easier than over it!
I am really questioning wanting to live there. That is the saddest festival I ever have seen. Almost reminds me of New Orleans, no thanks.
Thanks for the video ! Was there any mothmen stuff for sale ?
Yeah, there was, along with some Flatwoods Monster and Grafton Monster stuff.
I would grab Ivar and take off with him
He would probably fit in a larger piece of luggage 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
H😂😂😂😂
Old man Dr. Clark!
My mother in law is almost 84. She was a curb girl at the Sterling! I drank my first beer there and only live about a mile from it. Thee place to be for us in the late 70s-early 80s.
I’m just happy it’s still there. Places like this can be hard to find!
This was awesome to watch! Thanks for sharing. I was a student there many many years ago!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!!
I grew up near War, and left in the late 80s. I've not been back to McDowell County since the mid-90s. While I have no desire to relocate there permanently, I'd love to spend some time there again. Thank you for uploading this.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
8 people in the microtorium?
I was born at Clark’s Clinic in Iaeger in 1960 I remember growing up we always parked across the river beside of route 52 and walked across a foot bridge into town. The building you were talking about with the medal outline of WV on it was an ABC ( liquor store) and the used to be one before it near the old Fire Department building. I used to go to a Dentist office upstairs at the old Social Security office building. There also used to be a Ben Franklin store near the old Fire department building. Thanks 🙏
I was born in Clark Clinic in 1958
These guys work so hard.. hope the crowds are more consistent!
It definitely takes a lot of work to put on a show like this.
I like micro tiger ! That’s my guy!
@@timsternthal2742 meow
Best hot dogs in West Virginia! I swear, it's the truth! Been years since I been down there, because I'm from Wood County, but I'll be back!😊
I grew up and still live a mile from it. If you wanna come for the nostalgia I certainly understand that. But don't make a trip for the food. Most things change. And unfortunately so has the Sterling.
@@bradlane3662 .. I hate to hear that because I had thought about a road trip that had The Sterling hotdogs on the "to do" list. Thanks for the heads up!
@@peteyann13 You are more than welcome. The mayor here owns it now. Great guy and a friend of mine who I grew up with. But the truth is the truth.
@@bradlane3662 I love McDowell County. Almost moved to War several years ago, but it fell through, and I never pursued any further.
@@peteyann13 During my 44 years and 3 months of tax paying work history, my work had me moving all around southern WV and southwestern VA. And day in and out it was derogatory comments from the people I would meet who weren't from here. But once in awhile they come along with a mindset like your's. Something about the people, the ruralness, maybe even something ancient that causes them to connect to this old place. I had a district manager once who tried to convince his wife to move here from Radford VA. Didn't happen. But real estate that's been vacant for years is selling now. Much of it for vacation homes if you can believe that. But many are people nobody locally knows who are fleeing the insanity of liberal areas. Come on. We'd be glad to have you!
good v
Democratic stronghold and the UMWA helped kill that area
Looks like ones of people showed up to watch it.
I pray that one day i make it there before i die !!!!!!!!! My people come from here !! going back to 1920 and now that my mother has passed away ive got to get her Ashes back home . so that we BOTH can rest in peace !! her heart NEVER left this place and all the stories ive been told i feel like it's home for me too !! God bless ALL the people of WV
People still live there !?
Man i miss my home town of ieager this made me so sad just moved a few months back and miss it already
I have been looking to relocate and that town has the train and the water which is what I want. Eastern Kentucky has some good towns with the train and water in them too.
You're kidding !
@@davidjanson7982 nope! And I am in Ecuador where the temperature is the same every day. Sorry! I am serious
thanks for the tour, did you feel safe walking out at night? im planning on going there and visiting not just downtown, but the suburbs too
I think we all felt very safe walking around the downtown area, both day and night. We did not venture out into the suburbs, though.
okay thanks@@TheJ5Life
You got to drive around the track? That's really cool!
We did! They let you drive about half a lap or so on the actual track. The vehicle in front of us was going slow, so we had to take it easy.
I use to drive those roads everyday when I lived there this brings back memories. Riding the bus to Ieager High School everyday. Thanks for bring home to me. Drive safe and watch out for the coal trucks on the roads.
I spent the summer of 66 selling bibles in McDowell County West Virginia and I stayed in a three story hotel across the tracks in downtown Iaeger. I met a lot of nice people and kept in touch with a pretty young lady named Ermalee H. I still remember her mailing address. It was Left Hand Fork, Lick Branch Hollar.
C&P telephone
Sooo many memories 4 me during this ride thru memory lane....i ,also, grew up there, went to th same schools as yall both did , married an left Iaeger, an mostly returned while visiting Fanning Funeral Home for a relative's funeral. Things do change as th years pass by....thanks 4 th view!
What cemetary

You live there !?
WE LIVE IN BLUEWELL LOVE
No booze no crowds. These little folks did a show in Manhattan, IL 8/26/23 at a wine bar. Lots of alcohol. Minors everywhere. Manhattans best showed their colors
