32+% obesity, 35% of the citizens are in poverty, 50% of children are born into poverty, 70% highschool graduate rate, 30% college educated, 40% receive government assistance, 70% receive government medical insurance, median income is $18,500. Huntington WV needs a huge change, and quickly.
Orlando Marquez 🇺🇸 Like any other city, Huntington has good and bad qualities both. I grew up there and frequently visit my family and friends. I usually enjoy my visits...Kenova was my last destination.
The city of Huntington should follow the example of other college towns and grow in prosperity and success. Ann Arbor (The University of Michigan), Columbus (Ohio State University) and quite a few other places have been able to turn their economies around based on the endeavors that the university had, be it sports, medicine, law, technology, and/or business. The city and the university must go hand in hand with one another for the good of the people who live, work, and play there.
Your seriously comparing marshall university to ohio state and Michigan? Were you dropped on your head as a baby. Thats like comparing a slim jim to a new york strip. Not even in the same ball park my guy. Face it huntingtons best days are 60 years in the past its only downhill from here
Also Columbus has wayyy more going for it then just ohio state. It is a logistics and tech hub, the 14th largest city in America with a population of nearly a million. Huntington has less then 50,000 people
I'm not typically moved by these kinds of videos. I have to say though, I'm sold on this one. Hungtington looks better than I thought it might. I didn't expect to learn it's got bigger city types of attractions. I'm looking at Charleston WV as well.
If you are set on WV. You DO NOT want to live in Huntington. Unless you don't mind needles everywhere and dope heads wandering around all hours of the night everynight. Looking for stuff to steal. Charleston would be a better choice. But not by much honestly.
@@toynazi is it like this in every neighborhood? In every part of the city? It’s not the majority of the population I can’t imagine. Or is it? I can’t say I’ll be buying a $300,000 home, but I will be able to afford to live in a nicer neighborhood. I really am leaning strongly towards Charleston though. South of the river in the hills.
Take it from someone who lived there for 20 years Huntington wv is a big pile of trash. Huntingtons best days were 60+ years ago There is no future there, the drug problem is terrible from my understanding they might still hold the record for herion overdoses in a day, crime rate is terrible, infrastructure is terrible, healthcare is terrible, little to no good paying jobs, high poverty rate. I could go on and on. You only see a small part of downtown and marshall on this video and most of the buildings downtown are more then 50% vacant or completely abandoned. Go down 8th ave. Goto Westmoreland, goto guyandotte, highlawn, and i bet youll change your mind. Huntington wv is dead
Huntington west virginia public transportation needs much improvement to work on once an hour and only until 6 pm is inadequate to say the least If you want to be a top tier small city public transit should be open until bars close and much more frequent at least until 10 pm 7 days a week 365 days a year there is good and bad with every city video is not misleading those things probably do happen but city is not addressing the potential downsides of growth and does not be proactive on issues associated with gentrification be anti gentrification it helps no one from a long Beach California resident
No official is going to tell you about the bad things! It’s meant to get you to visit, attend college, work for the hospitals. I’ve lived in Cincinnati, Ohio...much worse than Huntington. I grew up there in Huntington and then moved away for college elsewhere. Many businesses have moved out. The hospitals have merged...and not really for a good reason. I still go back there and have family there. Have many good memories of Huntington. It is a very pretty town, has much to offer but needs much help. If I had to pick a place to live...Yes, I would definitely consider it.
Porter Productions don’t sugar coat Huntington born n raised in the streets in Huntington I know more people on my block from Detroit then Huntington people out here gettin shot and killed every week it’s dangerous the drug people is still getting worse it’s really not safe unless you live in the hills or on the college side of the city
Baige_ peep 🇺🇸Not sugar-coating anything. There are bad places in Huntington, just the same as anywhere else. It does have a lot to offer still, I’m sure. I’m glad to be from there. Growing up on 8th Avenue taught me a great deal! I hate gangs, drugs, drunks and do what I feel is necessary to protect my loved ones. Marshall is taking over many of the areas there....good or bad. It still has good history in that town and has lots to enjoy.
@@the.porter.productions Going from 85,000 in population in 1950 to near 46-48,000 today.

@@spaulding304 🇺🇸 I wasn’t aware that the population had dwindled that much. My dad had several businesses there in Huntington. He went from a book store, to furniture store, transfer company, hubcaps & auto parts, car sales and even a grocery store.

Alice Grand 🇺🇸 Hope that you enjoy living there. I still have friends and family in the area and go back frequently. My last trip was to Kenova for train spotting of an old locomotive.
Wow, I always wanted to go to Huntington West Virginia but I'm Filipino and I'm from Philippines 🇵🇭. So I love Huntington and it is a nice place so I always wanted to go there and also I know they have airport and I will go to Huntington by taking a flight transfer from Manila and flight transfer all away to Huntington. Also I will be there when I grow up if I work hard.
This is possibly one of the most misleading videos of all time. I’ve lived in Huntington my whole life and it’s riddled with druggies and needles no matter where you are. You are not safe in Huntington, it’s not safe to even walk out in broad daylight anymore.
Wow you just ruined everyone's parade on a good positive video. You are focused on the negatives instead of positives. Who cares about druggies. You leave them alone and they will leave you alone. And the same goes for homeless.
Are there alot of negros in Huntington? We are looking for a new white neighborhood for our family unfortunately the negros have started moving in ours.
It's not just Huntington, it's everywhere in every state. It's bad in about 48 states, I don't know about Alaska or Montana that's why I said 48 states.
Flamoonigirl Olivia 🇺🇸 Hope that you found a good place to live...in Huntington or anywhere. There are some really nice areas there or nearby. My last trip was to Kenova for some train spotting. Enjoyed it! Stay safe and well!
I attended Marshall University in the 1970s. The city of Huntington and Marshall University are very different now. When I was there you could walk around and feel safe. I seriously doubt you can do that now. The last time I was in Huntington was in August 2008. We went to the Huntington Museum of Art to see the Marilyn Monroe Exhibit. It was terribly hot when we were there.
Bill Bergendahl 🇺🇸 I went to Marshall in the 80s, grew up in Huntington on 8th Avenue, and visit there frequently. Columbus and Cincinnati are no different. It HAS changed...but it has always had areas that you shouldn’t visit at night! If you’re looking for trouble you WILL find it there. I visit where I grew up...always packing, and it reminds me of how blessed I am now and makes me appreciate my life more. Some areas are still the same as when I left and some even better. My last trip was to Kenova for train spotting.
cole france 🇺🇸 Glad to hear from you. Hope all is well! Thanks for checking us out. I took my boys to Kenova a few weeks ago to catch the steam locomotive coming through. It was a great catch! Stay safe and well, friend!
I'm from Huntington........ raised in that city and all my family still live in Huntington. Marshall university is ALL that city lives for!! EVERYTHING is Marshall, from the clothes you buy and wear to the color car you buy and drive.... It's really pathetic to be honest. The once thriving industry in Huntington is long gone and that school IS IT! you can't do ANYTHING in Huntington without SOMETHING being Marshall. If that school were to pack up and move, you could turn the lights off and roll up the carpet, all you'd hear are crickets and people looking for their next high on dope!! For Christ sake, there HAS TO BE something other than Marshall for the city of Huntington....... The addiction epidemic is out of control, the elected officials could give two shits about the safety and welfare of its citizens. The mayor forces Layoff's from the City police dept. and dangerously stretches the manpower at the police dept. thin. Don't forget the fire dept. as well. They suffered layoff's also. If that city don't figure out something fast, the best course of action IS turning the lights out and letting it go!! Come on residence of Huntington, find that solution and make that city into what it was in the past!! in the 80's and 90's, Huntington was just as good a place as any to raise a healthy happy family, BUT NOT ANYMORE!
K9COP282 you do know every other place is just like that because people take pride in what represents them and Marshall represents Huntington, it's like having a channel with 10 millions subscribers and not wanting everyone else to know about it
I hate to say it, but its true. During the summer, when semesters are over and students are gone, activity drops significantly. As much as I liked going to school there, that city needs more than Marshall and its coal & steel industry
I spent 6 months living in Huntington. You're totally right. That city deserves better. Such a great place to visit, but you couldn't pay me to live there permanently.
Man I hate to say it but your right,the university buys up everything around after all the jobs are sold out to China or Mexico the latest being the BASF plant and ACF both great jobs for the blue collar worker in there day the only thing left is steel of wv and o e day they will probably get them to
Somewhere I think I still have a piece of the field goal post that we tore from the ground and carried down the middle of third avenue after the championship game against Youngstown. That was a long time ago.
What about the situation with the homeless people struggling with mental health and getting their tent taken by uncaring public officials the Huntington city mission won't accept some people struggling with mental health issues and the ones that has got out of prison and trying to get their lives started as a good public citizen trying to get a job working and be a good productive member of society where can they live at very sad Huntington WV is not a good place for anyone
YourAverage FanGirl 🇺🇸 Sorry that you hate it. There are some really beautiful areas around town and some I could see myself living in. Hope that you find a new place in town to live or something else to excite you. I can still enjoy downtown, Ritter Park, driving on 5th and 3rd Aves.
