If wv wasn't as commercialized it would be a dead ringer for VT.

True. VT has so many nice small businesses and cute tourist towns that WV just doesn't.

Berkeley springs is a cute place to visit if you're ok with rubbing shoulders with DC garbage on the weekends

I’m not sure if you have visited WV much or recently. But Lonely Planet ranked WV the #2 Travel Region in 2022, the only state in the US to be selected.

The creation of a new National Park, New River Gorge, definitely helped. But if you wanted to visit a nice tourist town you may like Lewisburg, Fayetteville, Davis and Thomas, or Elkins. If you wanted something even more unique try Helvetia.

Point being there is more to WV than the stereotypical hillbillies working in coal mines and drinking moonshine.

hey now nothing wrong with hillbillies and moonshine. Could do without the coal mines though
