Pros: Huntington is the 2nd largest city in WV so it has plenty to offer in terms of activities, jobs, entertainment, parks, etc. There is a lot of revitalization going on downtown along with a lot of new building projects planned for shopping, business, public schools, Marshall University and other aspects of the community. Most everything is close and convenient and even though there is a lot of traffic, the city is well laid out so traffic moves. Housing is very affordable in Huntington right now and there are several options for living downtown, around the parks, nice neighborhoods, etc. It seems like there is always something going on from the different festivals and entertainment to Marshall athletics. You also can't beat the firendly people of WV.
Cons: Huntington has been unfortunate to have some leaders who have little foresight and some residents who want to keep everything the same and lack any foresight as well. That has caused Huntington some problems in the past but it seems to be overcoming all of that now and is on an upswing.
