Huntington, WV - Great place to raise your family!

I moved here in the beginning of 2001.
Huntington has lots of potential.
The town is right on I-64, very close to Lexington, KY, Columbus, OH, Cincinnati, etc...West Virginia is a beautiful state.
Huntington is a very peaceful business community. The town revolves around Marshall University, so if you like college sports, great place to be.
My true feelings are that, it is hard to find a better place to settle down later in life... very stress free...
However, as a young couple (my wife and I are both 28), it seems to lack a bit of excitement for us... the job market is very limited, although both my wife and I have very good jobs.
Most of the population is either older 40+ or younger 20- college kids.
With that said, it becomes very hard to want to leave this place, once you get to know the town and the people.
Last year, we almost moved to Phoenix, AZ, with work, but backed out at the last minute... we do not regret it at all...
My wife and i might still venture out to life near a big city; but always with Huntington in our hearts.
It is a great place to raise your family!
