like that with 'bama bangs' - taking a cue from BoJo?

In a state that has destitute poverty in many parts of the mountains with an acute healthcare crisis (meth) and poverty, he wants his moment in the sun.

We have to reach across the aisle and try to understand Gov. Justice! Otherwise we're just being all divisive and stuff by not tolerating, understanding, and yes, even welcoming, Justice's bigotry.

places you know nothing about, there's always the Greenbrier, which I just found out is part of Justice's holdings. Admire it, but for god's sake don't stay there. It's merely an example of the glorious places WV has to offer.



The Greenbrier, btw, is the location of the underground bunker built for JFK during the cold way. You can tour it. It is also the location of a top-class golf course, where Sam Snead was the pro back in the day.

It seems its glory days are long gone with its purchase by Justice and his partners. How the mighty have fallen.

or the Sweet Springs Resort



or Pence Springs



or any other of a number of gorgeous, huge resorts. If you want to know more about them, or about tourism in general in WV, drop me a pm.

by patronizing HIS FUCKING HOTEL? Give me a break!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greenbrier

The current Greenbrier was built in 1913 by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and was owned for much of its history by that company and its successors, Chessie System and CSX Corporation. Following years of heavy losses, CSX placed the hotel into bankruptcy in 2009. Justice Family Group, LLC, a company owned by local entrepreneur Jim Justice, subsequently bought the property and guaranteed all debts, resulting in dismissal of the bankruptcy. Justice promised to return the hotel to its former status as a five-star resort and to introduce "tasteful" gambling for guests to increase profit. The Greenbrier Hotel Corp. today operates as a subsidiary of Justice's company.[4][5]

This was not the first OP in recent days making fun of the idea that WV has no facilities grand enough for the G7 meeting.

And actually I didn't know Justice had an interest in it--my bad.

For years I held one share of C&O stock so I'd get to go to the Greenbrier for the stockholders' meeting.
