True story: back in 1979 I (along with another coworker who was from
Princeton WV) were sent to Beckley WV for a week to help with our Beckley office. We were about 1/2 a block off the town square. We had breakfast each morning at GC Murphy’s. The fellow breakfast patrons, smoking their breakfast cigars, seemed to be concerned that we might be government related since we were wearing suits and ties. Regarding our accommodations our room had a wooden palette to stand on in the shower and exactly enough hot water for a three minute shower. That being said the guys in the Beckley office were A+ and there was a great restaurant called Char that made the stay tolerable. Beckley was different.

Probably worried about the fog. But not as much as Adrienne Barbeau was.**
