We love our little city
Over 12 years ago

Charleston has a lot going on for being a small city. Capitol Street has great restaurants and Taylor Books, and Capitol Market is one of the best year-round farmers  More

Sleepy little town
Over 6 years ago

I've lived in Summersville for over 20 years and I wouldn't recommend moving here. The job market is stagnant, the mindset is 50+ years out dated, the economy isn't  More

The lake is great but the culture is dated 50 years back. There's no cultural diversity, people are biggots, and a declining population. The youth have nothing to do  More
