We love West Virginia here at Only In Your State, and we’ve been bragging about it day in and day out for years now. One thing I’ve learned in my own time as the West Virginia writer for Only In Your State is that we West Virginia lovers have this in common: we’ve all been shaped in significant ways by our time in Almost Heaven. There’s no place like home, they say, and that’s especially true when that home looks like wild, wonderful West Virginia. That’s one reason why we’re so excited about the new line of West Virginia products at Wear Your Roots. Now, not only can we write about everything we love about this beautiful state, but we can also regularly (and proudly!) wear our loyalty to the Mountain State, something that fits right along with this list of a dozen surefire ways to tell that you’ve got strong roots in West Virginia.
1. You feel most at home in the mountains.
2. You know all the words to "Country Roads" and you don't mind belting them out whenever the opportunity arises.
3. You've got plenty of blue and gold in your closet.
4. You know that a ramp isn't just a type of simple machine.
5. You have a soft spot in your heart for bridges. Especially record-breaking single-span steel arch bridges.
