Follansbee West Virginia is the coolest town! If you love community, amazing food, genuinely helpful neighbors and culture. West Virginia is a bastion of opportunity. It is affordable, fun, eclectic, safe and hip. It has a vibe that is like Brooklyn, New York back in the day. It has amazing, hidden-gem restaurants like DiCarlo's pizza and breakfast joints that serve freshly baked cannolis. It is close to gorgeous "almost heaven" places in West Virginia and hipster Pittsburgh. It has the best of the South and the best of the Midwest. Town government is responsive. The schools are welcoming and motivational. The teachers care about the kids on a personal level. Kids know the whole town cares. Downtown
are new businesses, independent shops, coffee stops, basketball courts. The community rallies around each other. Pasta dinners, events at the catering hall, everyone is made to feel like they matter. I wouldn't live anywhere else. International airport close by. The lots are huge.

The West Virginia House of Delegates has recently passed a bill which gives families $4,600 to attend private schools of their choosing. Follansbee is the perfect location to live in because it is equidistant to so many private school options, from Montessori to Catholic schools to Christian Schools, to Nazarene Schools to creative arts schools. West Virginia allows families to live mortgage free. It is "the" rising star among states to live in. Soon, it will be phasing out its income tax making it an even greater draw to families and small business owners. West Virginia has a tangible atmosphere of friendliness and community caring that makes one feel happy to live here.
Follansbee has a great pool and a really nice community days in the summer. Great fireworks! The downside is the pollution coming from the local mill
