What a JOY, I live in UK & bought a wonderful 58 Buick from a LOVELY lady in Bramwell ten years ago & only spoke with her the other day & she sent me this which bought back many fond memories of my all too short visit to a wondeful place. Congratulations on a lovely presentation on a lovely place. Greetings from England. Steve
I'm from the Charleston, WV area but I went to college at Concord University in Athens, WV - not far from Bramwell (still in Mercer County). I loooooooooove going to Bramwell every year for the Oktoberfest. It is so much fun!! I've been going every year since 2005 - it's become a yearly tradition of me and my friends from college. Bramwell is so gorgeous in autumn, and when you combine that with great food, great music, great artists, and great beers it just can't be beat!
What a great video! Back in the day, we always pronounced it "Bramell" I grew up in WV and although I've not lived there in over 20 years, am ever a proud mountaineer. Thank you for this trip down memory lane. Beautiful footage! I'm homesick just watching it.
And most importantly, we have met folks and personally visited Point Pleasant to Coalwood, War to Oceania. Met the Gov and wife at Blenko Glass Factory. Anyway from Bramwell to Rainelle, White Sulpher Springs to Huntington. Coopers to Bluefield they are the Nicest, Hardest working people in the world.. Oh and we love the Tamarack.
Dan, thank you for shining a positive light on southern WV. You should come back and do another video of Bramwell during the Christmas tour of the homes. It's truly unbelievable and we'll worth the drive and admission price. As a lifelong resident of this area, I thank you again for your time and interest in this area. Love the Pocahontas video as well. Keep up the good work!
Daniel, (Nice campus btw) WV is the most historically and culturally diverse state in the south. People came from Hungary, England, Germany, Russia,, Asia, South America, and many African Americans as well as Italian, Irish, Welsh, Yugoslavia, it goes on and on.. many of the current residents of WV are from this common coal ancestry that made up the Coal based economy. As little as 10-15 years ago An R- Orthodox Church still worshipped in their native Russian language. & many Jewish Synagogues.
Thanks rockbaby, I have heard that after the fact, ha ha I know it annoys me to no end when people on TV mispronounce the word (Appalachian) Coopers was a very cool place! Dan
if you guys would have more modern music shows in bramwell maybe you would get some distinction and ppl moving there. look up the stats on wiki, ppl don't move here they move away.
umm danielwvu u can argue with a little grl all u want but it doesnt make u sound any smarter so watever but can u answer me this one question why wvu if this state is so jacked up and backwards why did you choose to goto college here huh???
excuse you hun wiki lies and west virginia prides itself on its cultural diversity soooo watever and its rich history including its mountain bluegrass music soo if you dont like dont come here we dont want yah anyways but know one thing ur missing out
Im not arguing...sorry if you think this way...I never said anything to personally attack you are never was i even rude to you...so you might want to re-evaluate what arguing is....considering you replied to me first>>>BTW Morgantown is nothing like charleston, beckley, or bluefeild, and you know that...Up north is completly different then down south!!! Also, this is my last semester...so you can have your state, but you will never know true happiness until you leave WV!! FACT
This Danielwvu guy has been flaming every WV video on youtube. It seems he knows alot about poverty and getting first of the month checks. What's wrong Daniel? Did the mailman skip your box again? GO buy some kleenex.
Umm excuse you...WV has NO cultural diversity, so how can it pride itself in that???im from Seattle, I go to WVU, believe me nobody is missing out on anything in WV!
