Review of Huntington, West Virginia


Not so wonderful
Star Rating - 6/14/2007
I lived in huntington area for 10 years and I saw it go from nice to what happened. The downtown used to be nice now it's just a bunch of old buildings. The only good season is the fall the trees are just amazing. Jobs are very few and the pay is way below. Marshall University is an amazing university and keeps the town going. In the city there is nothing to do and that's the way the local leaders wanted it. You have to drive 11 miles away for the mall and some restaurants. Overall I would say moving here would be a big mistake especially if you have a family.
