I Have Seen All 50 States

I am West Virginia. I am Jeri Adkins, and I love everything about Charleston and West Virginia.

I have enjoyed visiting all of our beautiful states and one of the best things about my travels is coming home.

The convenience of a small town with big city amenities, an airport five minutes away, a beautiful state capitol, affordable cost of living, and most importantly, the friendliest people you will find anywhere all add up to the perfect place to live.

There’s so much to do in our capitol city it’s hard to fit everything in! If you have the energy, this weekend in Charleston offers Live on the Levee at our riverfront park, FestivALL with more than 100 events over 10 days including Smoke on the Water Chili Cook Off or Wine & All That Jazz, the Garden Showcase walking tour on the East End, singer Gladys Knight at the magnificent Clay Center and a live performance of the always popular Mountain Stage. There’s also a baseball game to take in at Appalachian Power Park, the Capitol Street Art Fair, and even racing “weiner” dogs!
