MY HOMETOWN!! I left home in late 98. A ll my family is still there and i go back from time to time. Just seeing things like Glenns sporting goods was still on 4th ave and Colonel Lanes ( what is now closed down ) takes me back to the days in Huntington when i was growing up! It's nice to be able to go back and see how it USE TO BE!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!
Thank you so much for this video. I was born and raised in Huntington and left for college at 17 and never returned. Living in Washington, D.C., I rarely go home and still get aching homesickness all the time. Thanks for giving me a quick drive around my home.
I grew up in Huntington...hear good and bad both about the town. 😙I know it’s not the same and I don’t live even close, but I’ve gotten out of touch even though I drive back there frequently. Still have family & friends that live there. Am glad to have history with the town. Porter Dude of Ohio.👍
Barboursville has the Huntington Mall, which is about a fifteen minute drive or a bus ride away, as well as Huntington has lots of window shops downtown and Pullman Square.
I miss the amphitheater, the Art Galleries, Ritter Park and the charm of the old brick buildings. I don't miss the heat, that humid foliage and the depressed people. Thanks for the video; I grew up there.
I'm back in Huntington, West Virginia after nearly 60 years of wandering the world as a twenty year veteran of the U.S. Army and living in Florida, Texas, California, Utah, Montana and Washington state in Seattle. It was all quite an adventure - Especially living in Seattle during 2020 - where I rented a downtown apartment in a new high rise building on Second Avenue (Tower 12) with a bird's eye of the decline and fall of the Emerald City. I knew the time had come to go back to my hometown of Huntington, when I could see an apartment building going up in flames only a few miles from where I lived! Did I mention the almost daily riots and the CHAZ/CHOP affair where BLM/ANTIFA occupied 12 square blocks of Capitol Hill (only two miles from where I lived in Seattle)? How about "The Night of The Broken Glass" in downtown Seattle when the Stormtroopers of the Left trashed the shopping district and literally broke out every store front display windows in the district - and looted the stores? This happened on May 30-31, 2020 and the shocked residents of my apartment building had front row seats to the destruction. Fortunately, that night the insurrectionists focused their wrath on the SPD and the shopping district, but everyone wondered - are they coming for our building next? Will they murder us in our beds? Will they set fire to the building and burn us alive? So I bugged out on October 1, 2020 to Huntington...where all is quiet and I hope it remains that way.
Don't forget... when it snows, it snows ! And everything is flooded at the moment. Ohio river is to crest at 50 feet tonight. Wouldn't want to swim across to see my gf now. Though I would probably just drive across the 31st bridge.
@Geneva Maynard The city didn't beat anyone. The World Trade Center didn't fly planes into itself, nor did my great city do anything to anybody. People are beaten up all over the place. Its an individual or group at fault, but not the whole of the town.

Wonder video and awesome music selection. This makes me homesick. I’m lost in Florida
@ 0:44 - The Carousel Strip Club on 14th St. West is gone.
Thank you, I miss home but when I can I go right back but untill then I can look at this.
The song is called "time is a runaway" by The Alternate Routes
Nice place. But I certainly wouldn’t want to live there and like the song not just time but I would run away as well!
Great video, only big thing I saw you left out was St. Marys Medical Center!! You covered it all good!
I was born in Huntington but left the city in 1959. Many good memories of grade school at Barnett and Simmes elementary school as a child.
I have family up there in Huntington.. I miss it
Nice video. It's very honest.
Beautiful
I love Huntington....born and raised here:-)

Don't forget... when it snows, it snows ! And everything is flooded at the moment. Ohio river is to crest at 50 feet tonight. Wouldn't want to swim across to see my gf now. Though I would probably just drive across the 31st bridge.
