there's some documentary that en passant covers West Virginia's locus in the early stages of the opiate/opioid/pill factory thing; maybe The Wild & Wonderful Whites of WV. iirc, there's a scene where one of the WV locals in the movie-film shakes a bottle of OC's and calls it "the West Virginia mating call".

Searching for the Cross-Eyed Jesus is another entertaining look at the traditions of Appalachia and the backwaters of the deep south; with an awesome soundtrack. I think the Handsome Family couple makes cameos playing some of their appropriate-to-the-subject-matter tunes. Jim White's the main creative force behind it tho.

Yep, I've seen that one. SOLID watch. I caught it on netflix years ago. Not sure if they still have it on there.

If you listen to the podcast, they go in depth with the economic reasons why leaving is difficult for many.

Every place is going to have a few high points

Downtown St. Louis sucks but there are some really nice areas toward the South and West sides. Much nicer than I thought when we first started passing through.

Word. WV is fucking gorgeous - take I-68 from Morgantown to the MD border; beautiful.

So what if the natives are a little...off. Was actually hoping to move there with the job relocation until the boss had to tell me to stick closer to Columbus :(

:lol:

Seriously, though, these places all look like bombed-out garbage dumps. The NYC thing is more of a Homer Simpson-like hatred of the place in general. There is some scattered spots of beauty and wonder, but 75% of it flat out sucks for myriad reasons.

West end of Davenport Iowa. They literally run ads in the real estate section where you can buy 10 houses for 60k.

Almost all of Rock Island Illinois. As Tom Segura days it seems of Jean shorts and dirt driveways.
