The calm before the storm

OAK HILL, WV (WOAY) – It was a cold start to the morning around the region, as temperatures were around the 40-degree mark. This afternoon, we’ll still need a windbreaker, as the winds will be gusty out of the northwest at times, and that will make it feel a little cooler than the highs in the mid-to-upper-50s.

Appalachian Country Store serves as a one-stop shop for all things local

PETERSTOWN- Just off of Route 219 in Peterstown, sits an 80 by 80 foot building up on the top of a rolling green hillside. Built by a local, one can tell that this barn-like structure is new. The deep red paint on the outside is far from chipping stage, and there is no wear and tear yet anywhere. However, when one walks inside, the atmosphere makes it feel like this town hub has been here for decades on end. Upon entering Appalachian Country Store, the customer is immediately immersed in the community. Shelves are stacked with homemade pumpkin bread, pepperoni rolls, pastries and more. Fridges full of local dairy and high-quality meats line the walls, and friendly local staff are hard at work in the back kitchen, ringing up customers, or making sandwiches at the Deli. Jeff Miller, owner, tells WVDN how the place first got started. Originally from a large Amish community in Holmes County Ohio, Miller, also a minister, “moved with his little flock” to Monroe County WV, to escape growing congestion up north. In the process of moving, Miller sold his wood-working business and trusted in his faith in the Lord to find new purpose and be

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Newport, Virginia that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Newport, Virginia — a city where the hush of the Blue Ridge mingles with the laughter of neighbors who know each other by name, where clapboard houses lean into winding roads, and the air is thick with honeysuckle, woodsmoke, and the promise of something simmering on a family stove. Here, time moves slow — stories are told on front porches, and every meal is a gathering of kin, of friends, of memory and hope.

Virginia Tech's Young Talent Fuels A Fast Start And Bigger Possibilities

While Tony Robie appreciates the preseason hype surrounding his Virginia Tech wrestling program, he and the Hokies are perfectly content not getting hyped up about it. VT is ranked #5 overall, has four individuals among the top five in their respective weight classes and nine within the top 15, and possesses a group of highly talented first- and second-year wrestlers, including Bo Bassett, the #1 high school wrestler from the Class of 2026. That adds up to not only excitement but postseason NCAA trophy talk. It’s chatter for people outside of the program. “I'm indifferent to it, honestly,” Robie said. “Yeah, we don't talk about that. We don't really focus on that. I think it creates a lot of excitement for our fans and people in the community here, and I think that's all good. “Hopefully, it will help our crowds, and there's a lot of excitement about it. But internally, in terms of how we operate and what we're trying to emphasize and communicate with our guys, I don't think there's any effect at all.” It’s all about the process in Blacksburg. The Hokies opened the season by earning five titles in the Southeast Open, followed that with a
