Clendenin WV

After our night in the scary hotel - yes I survived - we ventured down towards Kentucky. We were hungry, so took one of the exits looking for grub. We found a diner in the dying town of Clendenin WV. Seriously, this town was on its last legs like so many towns we had seen on our drive through rural West Virginia. Only about 20 minutes outside of the city of Charleston and it was all boarded up and a little worn. It was even on the banks of a river. Out west, some developer would have snapped this area up and built up another Pearl district or something. So sad. Pete even spoke with a local who stated that this was actually the third death of the town. One good thing - baked apples for breakfast. Woot!
