Raised in Louisiana by my Great Grandmother. Still live in the same area where her parents and grandparents were buried. All her brothers and sisters moved to Chicago when they came of age though in like the 50s

My mom's parents are from Mississippi . My grandfather was a preacher and they moved to North Oakland/Berkeley in the late 50s during the Emmitt Till fallout . Both were buried at the church he preached at in Mississippi . She took me to check it out during a trip back in '04.

My Dad's parents were from Arkansas but they moved to the Bay Area during the Great Migration

Yea there's two HBCUs one is West Virginia State University and the other I believe is Bluefield. Yea a lot of people will argue with me that there are no black people in West Virginia, but that's untrue, I would know I'm from there. How'd you like Morgantown?

I also wanted to add that I learned a new fact that Deron Williams was born in Parkersburg, WV.

I know a little more about WVSU since I lived relatively close to it. Plus I believe they own Shawnee Park.
Morgantown was cool. I was in school at A&T at the time, and we were there for an engineering conference.

The nightlife was cool, and with WVU being there, there was always something to get into. Y’all have got a ton of toll booth highways up there. I know I ran into one before going into a tunnel right before entering Beckley, and there were a few more after that. I want to go back to WV, as I want to explore Charleston next, and I wouldn’t mind renting out a cabin in the mountains with some of my people.

I forget about the various too booths , probably because we didn't use them much. I'm from Charleston, and honestly there isn't much of a nightlife there. I'd say go in the month of August because of the Sternwheel Regatta and the Multifest. You can also check out the Clay Center, and there are events at the Civic Center, but that would depend on your interests. I know there are events that are held on Magic Island. If you ever get a chance to check out Malden, where Booker T. Washington spent his childhood. Which also happens to be near Rand (Randy Moss's hometown). There's also the Booker T. Washington Park and the African Zion Baptist Church.
