Dan,
Great Video!!!!
I am from West Va, and while I was a recruiter for the US Army I was assigned this area. I met some of the nicest folks in Pokie!! And put a lot of great young men and women in the Army and Army Reserves!! This clip, plus your Bramwell, and Coalwood/Welch ones brought back great memories!! I still have friends in those areas from my recruiting days. After 22 years in the Army, (and counting, lol), I still go through there every time Im home. to be cont'd,,,

That's the Catrons unfortunately...
From what I understand, Tommy and the others on the town council acted quickly after the town got possession of it, but not quickly enough.
I recently moved back home to pocy for a short period of time, and it was worse than what's in the video. I think the Cricket is closed and now that the high school is closed, I think the town is pretty much doomed...
And I didn't mention who I was either...Lacey, graduated from PHS in 2001.

Hey Valleyskater!
We just spent the day in your town today! It's amazing how much changes from one visit to the next! Maybe you saw us, I am the chick with the camera! I hung out at the Little Store most of the afternoon. We do love your town, hope to see y'all soon!
