West Virginia has hills. Pretty hills. West Virginia has coal. Lots of coal. West Virginia has redneck gas stations where everyone has mullets or various other styles from the 1950’s. West Virginia has a shiny capitol building and a lovely old-fashioned capitol city called Charleston. The only city in the state, as far as I can tell. In Charleston, everything closes early. In Charleston, the Italian restaurant boasts Italian cuisine from around the world, as opposed to from Italy.
Kentucky has grass. Lots of grass. Kentucky has factories. Giant ugly factories. Kentucky has gas stations with ATMs that still use dial-up modems. Kentucky has bourbon distilleries. Distilleries that sell bourbon, shotglasses, clothes, books, candles, pancake batter, steak sauce, and chocolate, all of which somehow incorporate bourbon. Kentucky has a capitol city, Frankfort, which is small, meaningless, like a small office park. It doesn’t count as a city. Luckily, there is Louisville. Louisville is a good sized, modern city. Louisville has lots of industrial decay, abandoned warehouses, and a thriving hobo population.
So what do these neighboring but vastly different states have in common? They both have an infuriating amount of roadwork and zero cell reception outside their respective one city. Fuck these states.
