22. Morgantown, north-central in the 'wild and wonderful'

Tue Dec 31, 2013, 02:05 PM

Dec 2013

I've been here for almost 12 yrs... my dearly-beloved Lyric is a Morgantown native!

Here's an aerial view along the river... downtown and the university (WVU -- Go Mountaineers!!!) are in the background.

This is downtown's main-drag... HIGH STREET!
The green awning on the right is the entrance to the pub where i've worked for the last 4 years
The building on the left with the faux column details is a restored performing-arts space, originally built in about 1900.
