Only In Logan

Crews tearing down the old Pioneer Hotel building in Logan swung their crane the wrong way and took out part of a seperate building across the street. Luckily like most building in downtown Logan that one was vacant, too.

I cant believe it's taken that city this long to start demolishing that place, esposito shoulda leveled that town years ago, its been a ghost town since walmart came...

Esposito lost his job is a scandal of some sort.
Law license too, I suspect.
Smoke House demise was the end of Logan city, not Wal*mart.

the smoke house??? what/??? after walmart every small business worth a crap left..... ok, so it was just 1 store cause there wasnt really anything else downtown retail-wise other than the pawn shop and the super10 or peebles..... hell, what am I saying???? Logan was long dead when walmart arrived, they were just the easiest thing to blame....

Jeez, you guys are trashing my hometown and that's my job! Logan is actually not doing that badly, mainly because of the B&O tax from Wal-Mart. Retail isn't so hot but with all the governmental offices, lawyers, etc dowtown it keeps bodies in town. Granted, the town does completely close down after 5p and on weekends, but it could be worse.

Yeah, you could live in Welch.

BTW it was the old Sayer Brothers building (former flower shop) that took the hit.

So what goes in the Pine-Ear hole?
A parking lot? Taco Bell?
Urban Park?

A giant government building, from what I hear.

The media doesn't talk about the four lane to Man any more. Did they stop it again or is it just that it's close to election time again?

Once Six Flags gets their state of the art amusement park build over on Route 2, they intend to start construction on 10. Four lanes from Huntington to Logan. You know, it is part of that interstate that's is going in. Disney signed off on building their next cluster of parks once the interstate goes in. They will be built on reclaimed mountain tops near Buffalo Creek.

I'm done.

Sorry, I know I'm not very smart but I did not understand that last post at all.

Anyway, the money "isn't there" they say for the road that USA Today said was one of the top ten most dangerous in America, Rt. 10, Logan to Man. Figures.

You mean to tell me you've never heard the bull shit rumors about...

Nevermind.

Point is, it will never happen. Rt 10 Logan to Man will be just as deadly 20 years from now as it is now.

rt.10 will still be under construction for at least 10 more years, thats how long it took for them to finish building 119 through holden ..

Face it, southern WV for whatever reason, is not high on the list of priorities. It should be, considering the amount of drugs we move thru here.

In the 90's Pike county KY was the #1 producer of weed east of the Mississippi! In Mingo county, Sheriff deputies were actually the disributors! Now I guess it's mostly crack.
