Great place to live

I have to say that overall, Huntington is a wonderful place to live. Huntington has a good mix of people who are more often than not very friendly and willing to lend a hand when needed. The area has a lot to do including of museums, shopping, comedy club, lots of theater (on a local and national level), several film festivals, many seasonal festivals (the Greek fest has some amazing food), good concerts and Marshall athletics. The town does have some negatives but what town doesn't? It went through several years where it was on the decline but the town definately seems to be on an upswing again. The downtown area has come alive again with new shopping and several new/renovated condos being built right downtown. Marshall University is also seeing lots of new growth with several new buildings and new athletic facilities currently being constructed. If Huntington doesn't have what you want, several larger cities are just a few hours away by car or you can take a direct flight to several cities including 3 in Florida. With all it has to offer though, I believe Huntington is the best city in WV.
