    There were probably at least a couple dozen of these types of places up and down US 52. Hard to believe they're extinct now. The only one I was familiar with was the Red Robin Inn at Borderland. I remember the proprietor, Mr. Charlie Blevins, and all of the old-time folk instruments and other historical items he had. He'd bring some of his banjos and dulcimers down to the Chattaroy School on occasion and play for the kids. I really hope his family kept and preserved his collection.

    When things get tough, the tough gets going is how I think of the Appalachian people. I think of their survival skills on those long cold winter days and nights. Summer was just as hard if not worse. They were a testament to the time and place when people depended on each other for survival and mostly got along. They made most of their belongings because there wasn’t anywhere to go especially without money.

    Life is just not fair. My neighbor was drafted, 2 trips to Vietnam, survived, came home, was killed in a car wreck less than 2 weeks home. I was only 10, but was "in love" with my neighbor. 😉 I struggled with that for years. Didn't make sense then, doesn't make sense now. My first crush. ❤ Thanks guys.

    You used to be able to cross the Grand Canyon by car on a bridge like that. It is a wooden suspension bridge only for foot traffic now. That was the scariest thing ever. 😮 More than 1 vehicle at a time would 17:04 be on the bridge, two way traffic. Your bridge is beautiful glad they kept it.

    Have you ever heard of the Giant Killer? This guy was only 4ft 9in. and was the shortest soldier in the Army during the Vietnam War. He fell in love with a girl from W.V. They would meet from time to time, but never married. When she died, his request was to be buried beside her. And now they are together forever. Captain Richard J. Flaherty. A book and now a movie about his life. Leo DiCaprio is in the film.

    You are scaring me a bit Leo, you were showing us the 9 month olds that died on the same day, I said house fire, just before you said house fire. Too common back then when they relied on the old chimneys and wood smoke. Great jobs guys.

    Back in that time ,being kick by a mule or horse causing death was not unheard of , My Grandfather who grew up on a farm ,told me multiple stories of farmers being killed in such a way . Even one where they went looking for the farmer cause he hadn't come home from the field . Found him laying dead in the field by the mule and plow .. he had been adjusting the harness between the mule and plow and was kick and died instantly in the plowed field .. You never know when you time my come up ...Best Regards to all
