I grew up in this town in the 1970's thanks for posting.

looks like ghost town 👀

Thank you for show us this video. The town is very clean pretty and peaceful are you from West Virginia too?

What a nice place! Greetings from Subiaco (Italy)

Im a Descendant of people of this town Mercer County Princeton and Roanoke with a Family tree dating back to 1690, Grandmother Iris Elaine "Basham maiden name" ...was born here and her husband my grandfather Arnold C McElyea and her Mom and Dad was from Matoaka. His Name Was Arley Basham " he was a Pastor and Jeweler and jewelry store owner and her momma was Aiola Shrewsbury "Maiden name" they left town in the 1950s after my grandfathers service in US Navy WW2 to move to Toledo ohio to then work at Libby glass. If she were still alive to see this drone footage of her old mountain home, she'd probably cry with Joy and sadness. To see it still here but see it the ghost of what it used to be. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Porque será tan solitario ese estado😢.

What a sad sight. If the ghosts could come back. Its a shame, barring a miracle, that it'll survive.😢

They used to have a carnival wher the train station is now every year in late 70s and early 80s i grew up there. Worked for the town 4 summers on the jtpa program they had for youths back in the day. Emmett Painter was our boss.

I know its beautiful town but when I visited, lordy the smell of the paper factory was just so bad. Its very nice town fr.

I am going to Welch this weekend to check out a few homes for sale.. Nice scenery and looks bigger than Quinwood where my previous house/hideaway was.

Cool, i had an 'encounter' with someone in Welch about 8 years ago, she had a nice house and the neighborhood was fine, a drug store down the street had the 1908 flood marked on their building, wondering if thats the same drug store?

Awesome, i was live there, almost three y, it was amazing, nice place, great people, i love blacksburg,

Is that where Biden sent Commander?

Another dead town. Over the decades ma and pa shops closed and the shopping centers/walmart took people out of the downtowns. In Athens, Ohio, Walmart moved in and the small downtown of Athens died, as did JC Penny, Kmart, and every other clothes shop. Walmart literally destroyed and shut down the only shpping mall they had.

Why do you not talk? Tell us?

I was born there and went back to Bluefield the year you filmed this. Very clean town. The sky was beautiful the day you were filming.

My grandfather and grandmother owned a clothing store in town back in the 40s

Wytheville, there's only one!! Named for George Wythe, first Virginian, to sign the Declaration of Independence! He was also the mentor of Thomas Jefferson!

Thank you James for this tour. I studied at VPI and lived in Blacksburg in 1972-73. I think I recognized the place where a sub shop called Choosie Mothers was located, at the crossing of Main & College Streets, it was owned by Bruce Thompson. I worked there along with several friends who also studied at VPI and were from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, and, of course, the USA. We all had a great time there and have fond memories of the town. Looks quite different now, but really good.

Grew Up to of the MOUNTAIN IN BLUEFIELD VIRGINIA...BUT HAD LOTS OF FAMILY IN WEST VIRGINIA...USED TO BE CALLED LITTLE NYC BECAUSE IT WAS VIBRANT BACK IN 1960s...now sadly it's a DEad ZONE..RIP COAL & RAILROAD

I’ve been looking at houses in Beckley but people from WV are telling me Beckley is not a good place to live anymore.

Thanks for the video! Looks quiet, was this because of COVID ? or this the norm ?

Loved the walk

Thank-you for this brief picture if my past visits to beckley, home of my mother and her family. We would visit from Marietta, ohio.

So sad . I miss my home there

Very scenic! 😇

I grew up in all over that area and I'm telling you it's sickening to look what they did to this place .. if you say you grew up in it, you must not have grown up very long ago. it makes me sick to look at Logan now.. I don't need one get started on it because I get very angry and I don't want to say some shit that I'm going to not regret.. so you younger people take over and if I don't like what you're saying I'm going to show you.! And I'll tell you
