10 Best Places to Build a Log Home
Log Home Living magazine, in its August 2008 issue, has named Davis, WV, as one of the Ten Best Places to Build a Log Home.
Reasons include easy access to skiing and state parks, bountiful snowfall, the Monongahela National Forest, autumnal leaf displays that are the equal of anything in New England, and, finally, the fact that Davis is the home town of the late, great, Frankie Yankovic.
Other locations in the top 10 are Red Lodge, MT, Bisbee, AZ, Cortez, CO, Sault Ste. Marie, MI, Presque Isle, ME, Salmon, ID, Black Mountain, NC, Aberdeen, WA, and Berea, KY.

Frankie Yankovic was one of the greatest! They play his music on WMBS 590 AM, Uniontown, Pa.
My favorite is the proverbial..."I don't want her...you can have her...she's to fat for me..."Too Fat Polka...That man was one of America's great musicans ...for what he did to promote the ethnic music of the slav's...and from Davis?
Not even a mention...not even a sign...I wonder if Davis has a dancehall?

Wikipedia says he was born in Davis (July 15, 1915), but identifies him as being from Cleveland. Guess the family emigrated to the flatlands when the timber started to get played out.
