WB is an interesting place. It hit it's high point sometime in the
50's when my parents were groing up. When the coal industry dried up
the whole economy went south, slowly. As of about ten years ago, the only
people you seemed to see were very old and very young. Then starting
about three years ago a major resurgence in the local economy began, and
the previously empty area around the mall is now a mega yuppie strip.
The last time I was in that mall I could barely walk, there were so many
people, and they were buying stuff!
