Water Lines, New Traditions And Returning Home, This West Virginia Morning

In this West Virginia Morning, we hear the story of how some McDowell County residents haven’t had drinkable tap water in a decade but will change next month as new water lines are being installed. We’ll also hear what happens when one of West Virginia’s best and brightest leaves the Mountain State for the Big Apple, but then comes home.

And from our friends at Inside Appalachia, we hear a story about a “new” family tradition that spices things up when a mom decides she doesn’t want to just give her older children money.
