I'm 63years old and really trying to relocate here by December 1, 2022 from Portland Oregon. This just makes me long to be there even more. I'm really praying that everything comes together for me! Thank you for sharing.
AS a history man I must relate to you that your name is famous in the Morgantown area. There were two coeds murdered in 1970 and it is currently being investigated again as a cold case. One of the girls names was Karen Ferrell.

My husband & I are looking to move out of Florida, we're interested in Morgantown thanks to the Fallout 76 video game! That clocktower, unmistakable, to us that's Vault Tec University! I'm watching this to further research the area, thanks for a wonderful virtual tour 😀
@Subuwu Life long story short, hubby told his work he was leaving & they offered him a promotion with a pretty high pay rise. Sadly, where he works doesn't have a place in WV. Weighing up the odds we've had to put our plans on hold but give it a couple years, we'll look into it again.
@Subuwu Life could you consider renting out your house via a realtor? Moving like this is a very scary thing indeed. I've moved a lot but the 2 biggest moves I ever did was moving from the UK to the arctic circle then 4 years later back to UK, 6 months later I upsticks & moved to the USA. It is scary but also very exciting. If you are really worried though, rent out your house. At least it means you have something to come back to if you need to. Rentals are snapped up incredibly fast in FL so you won't have difficulty there 👍
Wow. I was on the fence about putting this on my list of places to potentially relocate to. This video helped me confirm it's definitely worthy of consideration! Thanks for the info :)
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Anders Jaiden Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I’m looking to visit this year… I like the idea of living away from the East Coast but I’m used to the more Bohemian atmosphere of Greenwich Village… so Morgantown seems like the best option… we’ll see….
amazing video! i was at WVU in the mid/late 90s and get excited whenever I can talk about my time there. been searching high and low, even tried to Shazam the song at the end, but no luck. any assistance on that one? Starts at 24:26
@@historyofmorgantownwvpeopl74 Never knew of one. We go there yearly to visit 7 family members and many friends at East Oak Grove Cemetery. Thank you. I will try to get there.
A Aardhond it's not a good spot to live in. It's one of the poorest states. Horrible public schools. Epidemic drug problem. I grew up there. Morgantown is one of the best cities in the state. Charleston another. While it's beautiful there are much better states to live in.
@@historyofmorgantownwvpeopl74 dude you're trying to sell people on a morgantown that doesn't exist except maybe for the out-of-state university students with rich daddies. let me guess, you're not actually a townie, a native, but someone from most likely the east coast who came here to go to school, right? stop encouraging fools to move here, jobs are scarce and affordable housing doesn't exist.
@@furmomma I've been through the whole Granville, Westover, and Morgantown. Actually I should say the whole West virginia. If I never seen u, I wouldn't be commenting here. And why am I up so early? Why are u up so early? Its 5:27 a.m
Actually, the Bill Danoff wrote the song and John Denver and Bill and Taffy sang it. I talked with Mr.Danoff in NC---they had Never been to WV when that song was written. There were in in Maryland going to a wedding...nothing rhymed with Maryland, so...W.V.

You can do it!

Did you make there by 12/1/22? I’m thinking about retiring there.
I fell in love with Morgantown when I went to WVU. After I graduated I made sure to come back as much as I could and still do.
I went to college there in 1983, never locked my door.

Miss Morgantown….very cool video!
Tremendous beautiful people of WEST VIRGINIA!
I've always lived in southern West Virginia but I have only been to Morgantown twice.
Thanks for the insight. I was looking for a video like this. Locals telling about her home.
My recollection of morganhole is abject poverty,Debilitating drug abuse,Industry gone for decades,Maybe a support system for a party college
Amazing

What’s a good place to get a steak and Italian food in Morgantown?
@@joedee2994 Oliverios for Italian if you want a decent steak check out the wonder bar in clarksburg
I would love to go see a WVU Basketball💙💛💙💛💙💛 🏀 & Football 🏈 game at WVU Coliseum and Milan Puskur Stadium 🏟in Morgantown, WV
It freaky i’ve seen every single one of those places
When was this video taken? the quality is like the 2000s, but I liked it.
Born there in 1944. Number 11 of 11 children , Dad coal miner from Pursglove.
Have you ever visited Scotts Run Museum?
@@historyofmorgantownwvpeopl74 Never knew of one. We go there yearly to visit 7 family members and many friends at East Oak Grove Cemetery. Thank you. I will try to get there.
What's the song that plays at the end?
Any one live in West Virginia? I do
Can you describe me ( a dutchman) in 10 words what makes WV so good spot to live in ??

i do
Some of the most down to earth people in the USA. Great town. Great university. Go Mountaineers basketball 2018/19. Wish I lived in Morgantown.
I wanna live there.
Motown??? I'm halfway through this and the only Black people shown were on a basketball court.
Doesn't mean we don't love people of color. Check out some of our interviews.

I live in Granville,WV just a stones throw away from Morgantown.
I seen u in Granville cuz I live there to! I live in a apartment with green doors by hometown hotdog stand

@@savagefuntimefreddy6442 sorry don't think you have. I don't really hang around that area for you to see me.

Morgantown is basically PA so of course it's not hillbilly.
don't forget to tell them about the high rents & the large homeless population we have here!
The blonde is hot whats up!
The river and the rent...
What is this video a college student project? It does nothing to show the beauty of the state, John Denver must be spinning in his grave.
Sonny Earp It’s about Morgantown specifically, not the entire state.
Actually, the Bill Danoff wrote the song and John Denver and Bill and Taffy sang it. I talked with Mr.Danoff in NC---they had Never been to WV when that song was written. There were in in Maryland going to a wedding...nothing rhymed with Maryland, so...W.V.
