CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) - The 2024 Charleston Sternwheel Regatta is just days away and businesses like Fife Street Brewing are preparing for an influx of people expected downtown.
"Pretty much tripled all our inventory," General Manager John Query said. "We got plenty of beer. We're gonna have the AC cranking all week, and we're ready to go."
The Regatta had been missing from Charleston summers since 2009 until it was brought back in 2022.

However, West Virginia has always been a bit of a throwback with several burger joints standing strong in the face of sheer corporate volume a...

    Can we assume that Kyneddi Miller's mother was the home school spelling champion of her day? When ever you hear that people are being given a choice, you can assume that the people are being screwed. Currently Florida is giving teenagers the "choice" to work until 1:00 AM on school nights. How many of the chronically absent students currently in the public school system will be shuttled in to home schooling? Home schooling is an easy way for school systems to get rid of low performing problem students. If they check up on non reporting homeschoolers, they might have to take illiterate kids back into public schools and figure out what to do with them. Better to let sleeping students lay about.
