Exploring a ruined building: the Itmann Company Store in southern West Virginia

I haven't been to West Virginia since before the pandemic began, so I took an impromptu road trip with my niece to see the old company store in Itmann, West Virginia, for a little "urban exploration" and fall foliage trip. Along the way, we talked about death, and loss, and pain, and the pandemic, and everything else...

    Love it!!! I can't get enough of your story telling. Hi Erin, Sorry to hear about your marriage and having had your heart broken twice. Obviously those two people were not worth your time. Keep your chin up though, your Prince Charming will come. Well I'm back in Mexico, after being held hostage by this nasty pandemic for nearly two years, I decided it was time to start the second phase of my family research and investigation. I'm currently in Puebla and my Son will be joining me for a week this coming Friday. He's never been this far south before, so I wanted him to experience the Day of the Dead with me here in Mexico. We'll be spending a couple days each in Mexico City, Puebla and Taxco de Alarcón. A week is just not enough, but we'll make the best of it. I also want him to get the feeling of what's part of his own story. I can't wait to see his reaction when he's standing before the monument to his Great-Grandfather, the Poet Rafael Cabrera. Hopefully I'll get my Daughter Eryn to join me as well somewhere down the line. Anyway, again I'm glad to see you back online. My very best to you and your Daughter. Take good care.

    Nice video! I actually grew up in Itmann during the 80s and 90s. I have many memories of playing in the side yard of the company store. When I was in grade school, it still had the post office open inside it as well. It's sad to see it in the shape it is in. It was a homeless shelter through the 90s which means it was actually habitable and well kept not so long ago. Would love to see the company store restored to it's former glory.
