Slightly off-topic gripe, but:
"It’s only sixty-five miles from here to the Capitol Building in D.C., and the area resembles Virginia or Maryland more than Appalachia."
That may well be because Charles Town is a half hour in either direction from Virginia and Maryland, and not really in Appalachia.

- joe5150 11y agoI'm not sure if you're confused about my comment or the deleted one above, but you've more or less made my point. It doesn't make a lot of sense to say Charles Town, WV "resembles Virginia or Maryland more than Appalachia" when it's directly in between those two states and all three of them have Appalachian regions. It's all beside the point anyway.
- ubernostrum 11y agoYeah, the WV eastern panhandle is basically just commuter towns for people who work in DC/Baltimore/NoVA, and more properly "belongs" to that area than to the mountainous southern/western parts of the state.
