I Love the Photos! (4.00 / 2)
I just wish I had found this site months ago.  Having grown up in Logan in the forties and fifties, I still consider WV home, although I've lived in Baltimore for many years.  I still check the Logan Banner often and also the Charleston Gazette, and I've been searching throughout the campaign for political news of WV.  It's exciting to see WV getting attention now, and I've been doing my own campaigning to get Obama / Biden to swing through WV.  My father was in the Logan Courthouse Square when Kennedy spoke there in 1960, and JFK is mythologized in Logan.  I love the idea of Obama appearing with Caroline Kennedy in WV.  They'd take Logan by storm!  Thank you for West Virginia Blue!!
