Almost Heaven, Almost Hell is a blog about the contrast between things the state of WV is doing really well and things they are doing really poorly. There is so much pride in this state, and there are amazing things happening, but even the biggest WV fan will tell you that there are a lot of issues here that need to be solved, and not everyone is aware of them either. This blog would offer a look at different issues such as climate change and what WV is doing (or not doing) to combat it, how WV is increasing tourism, what they’re doing infrastructure wise, and so much more.
