chucktown




well i made it up to charleston west virginia this weekend as a side trip to a weekend in boone, nc (which i totally dig but cant afford) me and tex loaded up and headed thru the hills on saturday on a 4 hour drive to charleston. the weather was chilly but beautiful and sunny. we walked around the town for about 3 hours, checking out the river walk, the buildings/bars/restaurants, houses and the capitol building. later i described the town to my brother as a miniature philidelphia, with everything in a 1 mile radius. big homes, (once owned by the charleston blue bloods) near the capitol and blocks from downtown, sell for as little as 70k... a downtown mall, minor league baseball park and charleston univ. football stadium are all right in the middle of the city, with the university on the other side of the river. diverse and in the middle of wildlife and white water heaven, it won me at first glance. more research to be done along with a lot of thoughts about being so far from the core of my famlily and friends. pueblo is next:)
