A short walk around downtown Hinton in Summers County, West Virginia. Recorded April 4th, 2019 around 2:30 PM en.wikipedia.o... Map (red line) drive.google.c...
I love watching this video when I'm missing home. Moved away 3 1/2 years ago and only get to visit a couple times a year... Loved noticing my mom walking into Big 4 Drug Store. Miss her so much!! :-)
I love the whole thing that you showed about hitting emergency for Manhattan my uncle was a direct descendant of Jack Hinton he also owned property up in they called it jumping branch you forgot to show him where the railroad used to house for men at the old YMCA but there's a lot of Jack hinton's nephews living around there which is to Lily but it's the lilies but it's the Jimmy Dale Bob and Ron Houston descendants how far from that camp how's their father was a Jeter Lily
My father was born and raised in Hinton..Been there as well as Pipestem Resort countless times..He is buried there as well..Have not been back since 2005..
Who taught you that there's two periods at the end of a sentence? There isn't. There's also supposed to be a space after the periods. You're at least a Gen Xer you should know how to type in your own language by now, loser.
Although my mother's family did not live there, they were from Summers County, somewhere near Pipestem. They moved to Princeton, sometime in the 20s. It hasn't been that long since Hinton had nearly the same population that Princeton has now. Hinton used to be an important railway shop and even had a turntable and possibly a roundhouse, same as Princeton (different railroad).
By no means. But small towns everywhere and most larger towns for that matter all look the same. All the businesses that were downtown on the main street are gone, replaced in most cases by big box stores outside the city limits. That is, if the town is large enough or close enough to another town so that it becomes a commuter town. But judging from the look of the buildings in most of the towns I'm thinking of, they were busy and prosperous places down well into the 1960s. The local economy is naturally important, though, and the decline of the coal industry in southern West Virginia, with it's impact on the railroads, made more difference there than anything else. Other places have other stories. Ironically, I think, better highways helped to kill the smaller towns (together with more cars), making it easier to drive to larger towns for shopping. The towns I'm thinking of include Princeton, Mullens, Matoaka, Welch, and Pineville as well as Hinton. But a few people still live in those places. I think there are walking videos of most of those places.
Was here last week. This place is depressing, run down, and gross. Natural landscape is the only thing keeping this place on the map. A real eyesore of poverty and lack of opportunity. No thanks!
Looks really beautiful wish i could live there
My hometown ❤❤❤. Thank you ❤❤❤
That's my mama and grandma's hometown. Thank you for posting this.I mostly remember it at Bluestone dam

It definitely had a round house my grandfather worked there and retired from there
Was this filmed on a Sunday? It's so quiet, but then again I haven't been up home since 1980.

WHERE is the golf course ⛳🏌️
Thank you for reminding me why I left this suffocating little Hamlet when I was 17. Don't miss this decaying place at all , !
I got a brick from the old ice house. I use it for a door stop.
The movie town....definitely 🤔🥰
Was that a Cherry Tree that you were filming ? 😇
OH NO DOG FIGHT! 🥺 lol
It looks like walking in gta v roleplay server when all players are out of the server and only couple npcs are there xD
City of my birth
I think they cut those lines in the road because they miss the horse hooves clopping down the thoroughfare...lol
watch it while listening "take me home, country roads (John Denver)"
And of course in 1929 the Klu Klux Klan marched up that street by Saint Patrick's church. Hinton was a hot bed for the Klan.
Thats awesome
Never see people.

you are exactly right i live 15 minutes away from it
You’re missing out. There’s a lot of beauty to be found within the town and it’s people.
Why did the 7/11 close is there anywhere in town to get fuel.
