I'm back in the area and grew up around here. I probably have a memory on every street of this town. It may look like it hasn't changed much but it is nothing like when I grew up here or even when my parents grew up here. Lot's of houses gone now. This town has my most cherished memories but it sadly doesn't feel like the place I grew up. Maybe it's just an age thing or just my experience. I miss the good old days
I used to hunt near eagle rock va which is 20 minutes south of clifton forge, we used to drive into clifton forge every year to pick up stuff from dollar general or other stores there. Thanks for bringing back old memories.
I was fortunate enough to grow up in both Eagle Rock and Clifton Forge. I grew up on Dudley stretch on the border of Allegheny and Botetourt. Out of school I hung out with friends in Clifton and Went to school with peeps from fincastle, Buchanan, Eagle Rock, Daleville and Troutville.
Not really. The town actually has a lot of people from out of town. Douthat State park is just down the road. The town has died down a lot even from when I was younger and I'm only 40 but I think they are trying to bring it back up.

Was born there at C&O Hospital 1957. Think it's a retirement home now. Old CFHS there on the left at the 5:55 mark.

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I hope others will enjoy it as well. Maybe 10, 20, 30 years from now people will see how things have changed.

It is. Thanks for watching!
Has anyone ever gotten the " your an outsider " look from locals?

Nicely’s still there?
There's a whole Nicely Town. There's way too many Nicely's to get rid of anytime soon
