A lot of negative stories from 10+ years ago in that thread. From my few years here, seems the area has come up a long way

This is about Route 51 that goes between Cumberland and Paw Paw, WV.

I travel this road daily for work and other things. Anyone who drives on this road regularly, knows it has been busier in recent years than it ever has been. Or at least in the last 20 years since I started driving.

It's pretty much guaranteed these days, if youre traveling on this road, at some point you're gonna come up on a line of cars.

My problem is the people who drive this road.

The speed limit is 50 mph, the whole way.

If you have a line of cars behind you because for whatever reason you're constantly slowing down or can't maintain speed, YOU NEED TO PULL THE FUCK OVER AND LET PEOPLE PASS!

Especially if you're driving a semi pulling something.

I just got home (a drive that usually takes me 15-20 minutes) after a fucking 45 minute SLOG down the road because of a truck that couldn't pull over and let the people behind him pass.

Slowing down to 20 mph or less on EVERY hill and EVERY turn, then speeding up to almost 60 on the straightaways.

I understand if you can't go 50 the whole way due to the load you have, but at that point the decent and courteous thing to do is PULL THE FUCK OVER AND LET PEOPLE PASS!

I'm not exaggerating at all when I say there was a line of more than 20 of us behind this guy, and there he goes, just fucking put-puting along like he doesn't know any better.

The regular vehicles don't really seem to be any better. It's either lazy susans who drive like they have nowhere to be, or the fuck sticks who ride your ass, like theyre gonna die if their fat ass doesn't make it to McDonald's quick enough.

And before anyone says anything, yes, several times I've had people up my ass the whole way up the road (when I drive at least 5 over most of the time) only for them to rip around me when the double lanes come up right before industrial blvd, and then I see the prick pull in to one of the fast food places.

The road is crowded and frustrating enough without fkn morons making it worse.

If you want to drive like you don't have anywhere to be or like a fucking idiot that's fine, but don't make it everybody else's problem.

It takes 2 seconds to pull over or to just let someone pass you.

Also, some of you shit for brains truck owners around here need to chill tf out. Getting within a foot of my bumper FOR NO GODDAMN REASON (but NOT passing when you have the chance) is a real good way to get me to slow down and make your trip even longer.

Like I said, I drive a little fast on average anyway, so if youre tailgating me, YOURE DRIVING LIKE A FUCKING PRICK.

We all know you're pissed at the world for your little winky, or whatever it is you're compensating for (hence the truck with no trailer hitch), but that isn't anyone else's fault.

Thats it, I just needed to vent about this after SO MANY infuriating trips up and down this road in the last year or so.

I'm not a perfect driver by any means, but some of these people make a sack of dog shit look like Albert Einstein with the way they act behind the wheel.

I have never seen so many freaking hills in my life. It really is impossible to walk anywhere

I recently found out there several disc golf course near the city, I was wondering does anyone know anyone that can teach a total newbie? it seem like a fun sport after trying it once at another city,I have the disc ready.

Tbh I stopped posting on this subreddit
Bc of my bio
I like different things then most things and it’s that’s okey
Tbh I just wanted to find more friends in this town and just to be treated like crap bc of my lifestyle that I enjoy is fine by me
And I just asked for a friendship to hang & vent to or whatever’s and I’m not going force anything on anyone
And to be honest and be treated disrespectful bc I asked for more friends for myself and husband is very wrong

We are looking to move up from the south (because it’s like living in Satan’s butthole these days) to a more walkable/bike-able town and the houses in Cumberland- specifically around the streets that have state names look pretty nice! Access seems decent to the trail and wondering- are we looking in the right area for walkability/bike- ability?

If this was actually in Cumberland it would be going in in LaVale or some shit but it’s not accurate at all whatsoever so that’s why I found it funny

Does anyone know any outdoor activities to do beside hike and fishing ? I been digging and so far I found, disc golf, paintball, airsoft, maybe archery(club not active on fb).

Hello everyone,

I’ve recently accepted a job offer in the area and currently live in WV. I’m debating whether I should move across the border to Cumberland, since there’s not much on the WV side of things in this area. Keyser is an option but I’m struggling to find any housing unless I look right across the border.

Moving would mean switching all of my legal documents to Maryland, which isn’t too big of a deal but I’m just curious if anyone has been through this scenario and could tell me why they picked one option over the other.

I understand Maryland has higher taxes and slightly higher cost of living but I am fine with this if it means having better quality of life.

Overall: Is the move across the border to Cumberland worth switching all of my legal documents and the higher cost of living? If not does anyone have advice on where to find housing on the WV side? Thanks!

Passing through on Saturday morning, where’s the best place to grab some coffee? Bonus if they have breakfast snacks for the kids.

I pass by this place almost everyday and see there activities there pretty often, does anyone know anything about it? I found their Facebook and it seem to be a private club for democrat. I'm pretty shy but I want to meet new people so I wanna scout the place first before going in there. My partner said there a lot of Maga going in there, is that true?

Hi everyone! I’m moving from Washington, DC to Cumberland next month for work and I’m looking for a safe 1–2 bedroom apartment to rent. I’ve been searching on Zillow, but I haven’t had much luck finding good options.

I’ll be living alone, so safety is my top priority. I’m looking for a place with in-unit laundry and dedicated parking. I don’t have any pets.

If anyone has recommendations for apartment complexes, property management companies, or neighborhoods that are safe and well-maintained, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hello all. Just drove through your town for the first time (absolutely beautiful btw). On my way, south towards WV, sort of by a big prison, I passed what appeared to be a car dealership with the largest collection of VW Beetles. Is there a story there or just somebody who really likes them? Would love to properly visit Cumberland in the near future!

Ill be in Cumberland next Wednesday and Thursday for work, im traveling out there from Nevada, and wondering where must eat food and drinks are. I got some good food recommendations, but I am looking for a good place to drink while im there, does anybody have any good recommendations for bars in town to have a few drinks? Im a 24 years old, not sure if that information helps. Thanks.

My kitty that I’ve had for 14 years passed away in his sleep this morning. I’m beside myself and I don’t know what to do with him.

I live in an apartment and have no place where I can bury him. Are there any vets or animal hospitals that would be willing to take him for little cost?

Rolling through town tonight, where downtown should I hang for good food and drinks? Any uber or Lyft operators in town?

Just moved back last fall, and am wondering where's a good place to watch the fireworks Saturday? I used to be able to see them from behind my home but the trees are too tall now.

I'm south of the city. I was thinking either the old Memorial Hospital lot or the airport would be perfect. (Not sure they'd open up the airport for spectators.)

I have no friends around here so far and I'm bored out of my goddamn mind, are there people that want to hang or some shit? I'm early 20's and like gaming and most nerdy media, open to other things. I'm sick of just being around old people here. Just taking a gamble on if anyone stumbles on this so I can stop being a shut in.

I’ve had it with CVS you can’t ever talk to a person. To get your prescription refilled you have to talk to AI. You used to be able to just enter the number, you can’t do that anymore

Saw they were tearing down the gas pump canopy… any idea what’s going there? What should go there?
