Huntington, West Virginia SperlingViews

Pullman Square has revitalized the downtown: it has lots of great food, a comedy club, and great movie theaters. Countless once-empty storefronts have been recently renovated and the city has finally been growing again. Local music, art, and theater is honestly plentiful, with Marshall University feeding lots of that energy. A new Tuesday street concert series on 4th Avenue is being started in addition to the popular Thursday night Pullman Square concert series. Plus, the city and surrounding area is BEAUTIFUL; there are lots of trees and it's right along the Ohio River.
