Headlines in Huntington WV

http://vacations-travel.helium.com/how-to/9859-how-to-see-the-sights-in-huntingt

Headlines don't come easy. The problem is what is worthy to be placed on a blog with a few paragraphs that sing the praises of this or that. For today, I am staying home. I am devoting my blog time to Huntington, WV. This is not the first time I have attempted to show off my home town by writing about it. A blog labeled How to see the sights of Huntington WV proves that.

What concerns Huntingtonians, according to the Herald-Dispatch, Several important things really. The first one is that the citizens are afraid that the Corp of Engineers Building that was slated for a new upgrade -- complete with solar installations etc., will not be forthcoming. Why? A suitable temporary location has not been found.

Other things held dear are the firefighters that are highly respected and one recently was honored for the fine work he has done; Marshall's foot ball games that makes every one proud and has an excellent backing. Today's thought -- headline -- Herd hopes to bounce back with road show; Huntington's delinquent tax list -- no one is proud of that and no names will be mentioned.

And of course there is much more. Much of it about other concerns around the world and how Huntington fits in such as Coal and China. WV is one of the largest coal producing states, and of course China uses more coal than any other country.Of course not all of it is from WV,but some of it probably is.

The Herald-dispatch, like all other newspaper is a little skinny, but it is still here. It is an old newspaper started by the Long family many years ago. Of course it not now owned buy them, but is a paper belonging to the Champion Publishing Co. Inc. And like other newspaper, it is sometimes filled with interesting news, at others, times the reading is so great, but it still soaks up water spills on the kitchen counter, and on the floor, stands in for paper towels when they are non-existence, and still does a pretty good job of lining trash cans. Can the online version of the paper do that?
