Morgantown, West Virginia, an economic oasis

[SuRihtanil]

I would rather live in Morgantown than Charleston any day of the week. I have lived in both before each spanning over 5 years so I know them both very well.

[MORALSDOGMA]

Charleston is the largest city in West Virginia at a whopping low of 56,000 people and declining.

Media LIES more media lies!

Don't ever make a comment on your own personal judgment again please because you're completely wrong. WV now has over 2 million residents where do you think they all live? in caves? WV has more people then some Countries. Morgantown area is the highest populated area in WV it is host to around 90,000 people that is a rough draft of accounting for the people that don't fill out their census and send it in, Ruby Memorial hospital in Morgantown alone has 10,000 employees....

[MORALSDOGMA]

If your counting the "Morgantown area" then let me reiterate.. The Charleston Metro Area is 200,000 + Go read the census reports and stay the fuck off my mail.

[SuRihtanil]

@MORALSDOGMA Charleston area may have more people right now I am not sure because Charleston has went down hill in the past few years majorly. However Morgantown area is growing far faster. Way more careers to be found in this area its just a stones throw from Pittsburgh its in the perfect spot. Charleston has a lot of slums and run down areas were a lot of people are on welfare. The population really means squat, it the kind of population you have and what the community is build around.

@MORALSDOGMA less people is a good thing, only a complete moron would want to live in nyc, just look at their children !!!

[MORALSDOGMA]

@therockkkkher  Who said anything about NYC? And what about their children? No matter what any of you say. Charleston is the epicenter of WV. Morgantown is a college town. I'm not downing it just putting some reality into perspective, and until you realize it, continue on with wishful thinking.

@MORALSDOGMA morgantown attracts people from all over the state just like charleston, but more people spend time in morgantown than in charleston

[MORALSDOGMA]

@WVlandnwater When I go to Morgantown I spend a few hours at the game and maybe dinner, then Im out.

[WVlandnwater]

@MORALSDOGMA what i meaing is people in this state are more likely to go to morgantown than charleston, because of the college, jobs etc..

[WVlandnwater]

@MORALSDOGMA than you probably dont live far from there then

[WVlandnwater]

@MORALSDOGMA they used the counties population stat

[swmdal]

Since when did Morgantown have 87,000 people, even when the students are in town?

I work on High Street every day and I've never seen it look that good.

[labby2]

WVU Hospitals is undoubtedly one of the reasons we have such a low unemployment rate. We are so lucky to have WVUH here.
