Review of Huntington, West Virginia


Beautiful place with growing creative energy
Star Rating - 5/30/2009
Huntington is a city with growing creative energy and many great assets. Ritter Park is absolutely beautiful, and the Riverfront Park is a wonderful place that the city is in the process of renovating. It has huge potential. Marshall University feeds tons of energy into the city, including theater, local music and art, and major college sports. Pullman Square is a relatively new commercial area with a nice comedy club, very nice theaters, and great food. It is a good example of the fresh energy that has been reshaping the city over the past few years. Huntington is also in a good location relative to other major cities, allowing day trips to places like Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburgh, and Lexington, not to mention in-state trip opportunities including world-class whitewater rafting or ski resorts.
