Highlights some of the great attributes of West Virginia and specifically looks at Morgantown, Huntington and Charleston. Here's an excerpt:

Retired librarian and artist Joanne Maynard, 71, spent 26 years in New York City and loved it, but she knew she could never afford to retire there. Still, she wanted many of the perks she got in the Big Apple -- cultural and arts offerings, public transit, walkability, good health care, a large library and a university. She found them, to her surprise, in West Virginia. "I've been in Huntington for four years now, and it just has everything I was looking for," she says. "You don't usually find it on 'best places to retire' lists, but it should be No. 1."

Whew! I was worried that they'd profile Seeburt, Hillsboro, or Davis. My retirement dreams are still safe, for now.

Silk, it opens in a new tab or window that you may have missed.

The Smart Money link seems to be a bit finicky as to whether it works or not.

Here's an editorial from the Herald Dispatch about this:
