The city and state I was born in. Even though I moved away and have lived in many places around the US, including your home of Atlanta GA (Gwinnett), I spent many a summer at my grandma's house in So. Charleston growing up in the late 70's and watching them complete the interstates around the region section by section. Still know these roads and many of the secondary routes (MacCorkle Ave) by the back of my hand. BTW great choice of music. Maiden rocks!!
Bad ass! Perfect video speeds to match the pace of the song, and love the different lighting effects too. I have no idea why, but I suddenly wanted to watch some Charleston stuff, so of course, you're the go-to person on YouTube for this genre. Charleston = the "unsung hero" of eastern US freeway systems, for a city of its size. Great video although...on the favorites list this goes.
This has been a remarkable season to watch & this is by far the best video from 2014 overall in my opinion. Despite the fact that there were less videos then the past 3 seasons I've watched, it's always a pleasure to see new places each year from you. Can't wait for you to end this season with a bang from your Sensory Overload 2.0 & I will see you in 2015! Thanks!
Great ride thru Charleston Jim! Nice to see that area! Decent freeway systems for that city! 110 percent! I always enjoy your videos! Keep them coming. Mark in Iowa.
WV Turnpike, A modern two and three lane highway. The nice thing about being Northbound on I-77 at the start of I-79 is it means only 90 minutes to home. Unlike in your Jacksonville video on Fl-9A which is 8+ hours to the other home.
I live in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Anytime I travel to South Carolina and points further south, I always go through West Virginia. I always bypass Charleston, getting off I-79 at exit 57, traveling rte 19, and getting on the West Virginia turnpike at exit 48 near Beckley. It was nice to see what I miss in Charleston by taking the more direct route that I take.
Scenery on I-26 here is better than most, but I liked the 10 mile stretch of the 2-lane road through Wolf Laurel. If it was still open, I would still be using it. Most interstate roads look alike.
Brings back memories. I used to run up & down I-64/I-77/I-79 back in the day. Great video. Don't know if you ever traveled a little further west on I-64; it crosses the Kanawha River again right before Dunbar. Well done, Jim.
Thanks for this post man! Have driven on the WV Turnpike many times and I like how it goes parallel to the Kanawha for several miles before you approach the Charleston. Keep up the good work!
