How do I find a good place to eat in Charleston West Virginia?
Answer:
I've only been to Charleston once, and I ended up eating at the Chili's at the Town Centre mall! (yeah, not the greatest, but it was walking distance from my hotel.) There was also a sushi place across the street from Chili's that I would have liked to have gone to. Here's a link to all of the mall restaurants.

How can I get rid of a car that is no longer running. It must be removed soon! IN Charleston, West Virginia?
Question:
The car is not in the best shape at all and it needs alot of work but I am willing to just give it to charity or a junk yard. I just do not know how to go about doing that. All of the charities I have contacted will not take it because it does not run. HELP...My landlord wants it moved ASAP.....
Answer:
Call a auto-salvage yard. If you have a clear title there should be no problem. They will simply come to you and haul it away. You may even get a few bucks. Call the city. See who they use for abandoned vehical removal. Then if that tow company wont do it. ask who they send theres to. It would still be simplier to check the yellow pages for " salvage yard"

Charleston,West Virginia-Any interesting gay and lesbian places or things to do?
Question:
Moving to Charleston,West Virginia and looking for a Gay&Lesbian community there
Answer:
Charleston has a couple of clubs. Broadway is ok, but mostly men, and Trax which can be fun at times. Both have good drag shows. If you get a chance I suggest you check out The Stonewall in Huntington, it's much better.
There is also a campground near charleston called Long Fork which caters to gay/lesbian's.
Hope your move goes well!

eigth grade road trip to charleston west virginia?
Question:
ok, well me and some of my friends were thinking about going on a road trip at the end of the year, before high school. some of us are getting split up into the two main high schools, and we want to do something to fun. we are starting in dublin ohio. there are 9 of us, so we will all pitch in. i already have a pretty good idea of the car we're renting, which seats 12 so obviously parents will be DRIVING and coming. Plus, i am 99% sure what hotel we'll be staying at. we want to go somewhere around Charleston, West Virginia or further towards the coastline. any ideas or any cool stops we should do along the way? we would love your ideas! or an itinerary would be nice...really nice. :) thanks! we are leaving at noon the first day, getting to our hotel that afternoon. the rest of the day and the next day are free, but we'll be driving back the 3rd day. thanks!
Answer:
Hey there.
If you are staying in Charleston stay at Embassy Suits- the marriot doesn't wash their bedding as I have discovered from past experiences.
Southern West Virignia is the most beautiful place in the world. I would suggest heading on down to fayetteville, wv to the New River Gorge Bridge. It is amazing to see how big it is- it is the worlds 2nd largest and longest arch bridge. Go to the overlook, its worth all the stairs it takes to get there lol. Then take a ride under the bridge to Fayette Station. Wow.. talk about beautiful.. that is one of the best places to go and you can even watch rafters go by up close down there. There is also a hiking trail that overlooks the entire gorge and bridge. It's called long point trail- it is not dangerous or difficult to get to the place where you can view everything.. its something you have to do before you die in my opinion. Then head out another 15 minutes to Gauley Bridge, WV. Theres a beautiful waterfall called cathedral falls.. there's also a picnic table so it would be a great opportunity to have a little picnic. Then head up the road another 10 minutes to a place called the mystery hole. It is definitely one of those other must sees of southern, west virginia. You'll get a good laugh and it's a good time. Southern, West Virginia is such a beautiful place, I highly suggest you really get to see some of these places I mentioned. Also, if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to send me a message on here. I will gladly help you any way I can.
Here is some links to the places I suggested:

I Notice the eastern part of the state (pocahontas) county starts to change in late Sept. What road do we get on in Virginia to enter Pocahontas county, West Virginia? I know color display, is better in early Oct, but you take vacations when you can get them.
Thank you.

Use Google Maps "get directions" function to plot a course from your location to a destination in Pocahontas county. Just about anywhere in WV is beautiful in the fall. I'm hoping to take a 3 day motorcycle trip into the Greenbank area in late August or September.
