My family was living in Cross Lanes, outside of Charleston, for a couple of years because my dad was assigned to the Union Carbide plant in Institute, WV.
Cool. I know where those places are. Both of my grand-fathers worked for Carbide and my uncle did work for Carbide. They have been bought out by Dow Chemical now and parts of it have been closed down now due to government regulations, etc. They are not as big as it use to be.
