I lived there in the early 90s. Went back through that area a year or so ago and it's grown. I left when the meth heads started really taking hold. Hope it's better now days.

Not really. Although much of rural/small town US is like that.
I'm all for the death penalty for anyone found manufacturing meth.

I never had a reason to move from the greater Charleston, SC area and I've been here all my life. Is that unusual??

While I'd say "no", because I know several folks who have never really left where they grew up (some did for school and/or military but came back), it seems to be more common today where people are more mobile.

If you want to have a career in many fields, you have to move. It's one of the things that motivated me for many years.

However, I landed in Charleston in mid-2010, met the lovely lady that is now my wife, really like who I work for, and don't want to go anywhere. First time in 17 years I haven't been thinking about "where to next".

EDIT - The longer I've been out of WV, the less time I like spending there. I have several friends from different parts of life who give me grief for not wanting to move back to WV when I retire, but honestly, I have no desire to go back. Heck, I try to keep my time up there limited, as it is now, lol.
