My genetic grandfather live in West Virginia, i'd say it is way more diverse than you think it is. I depends where you go though. People who live there are great, i thought at the time i met the only true left candidate in the US (It was before Bernie was a thing).
Back-to-land'er hippies communities are a joy to frequent: they play music every time they're not hiking, brewing, building their home or tending their garden. They also tried to do their own festival. If you want to met some of them, you have to try producer markets and talk to the guys there, or just go to a bar where music is played and talk to the musicians.
You can also participate in a home brew contest, you'll taste horrible stuff, pretty good stuff, and meet wonderful people..
- devoutsalsa 5y agoI drove through rural West Virginia about 6 years ago. Along the road I spotted a broken down van, and I pulled over to see if they needed help. There were three of them, and they were each twice as big as me, and I’m 120kg. I gave a ride to one guy who barely fit in the passenger seat. We got to talking, and he was a retired coal miner. Super friendly. About 30km down the road, he asked me to drop him off at a tiny grocery store so he could walk around and find his preacher, who also happened to be the local tow truck driver.
