An issue i have with my home town of Parkersburg WV is that they dont seem to

want to attract anyone in entertainment wise, such as they refuse to make a

place for bands to be able to come and play, they wont build a skatepark that

teens having been pushing for, no big activities ever happen in Parkersburg. I

honestly think they want to make it a retirement home, or atleast thats the way it

seems. When i lived in parkersburg it was always a struggle to try and find

something fun to get into, especially when the only forms of entertainment

parkersburg has to offer is a skating rink, a bowling alley, or the mall, and all three

of those choices suck in my opinion. Parkersburg needs to liven up or it is just goin

to becomje another boring place that no one wants to visit. Now that i live in

PIttsburgh there is usually always something going on here, between going to

shows to see your favorite bands, or going to parties on the mountain. Ill admit I

always miss Parkersburg because of all the fun things i was able to do by living

somewhat out in the country like riding dirtbikes, fourwheelers, and going mudding

with my two redneck brothers, but unless Parkersburg takes some chances and

adds some new and exciting places it will never have a chance to grow and

develope into a place people would be interested in visiting.
