Great news. Morgantown continues to lead the state in economic development and research. In the upcoming decades it will be the premier city of WV for sure.

WVU has been the hub of research for 4 decades. Regardless, Morgantown remains a dump, and always will.

Parts of it arent nice parts of it are. I wouldnt call Cheat Lake a dump, but Sunnyside for sure is a student ghetto.

Tobacco Road and the Reseach Triangle - kinda of an odd combination, ain't it?

I'm sure the research triangle looks at Clayton as a sort of curiosity. Maybe it is an opportunity for them to study abnormalities?

Nah - they experiment on the student population at WVU - pays better than donating plasma - in exchange for allowing the study of brain abnormalities, they give each student a case of natty light and a couch to burn.

That's not what I heard. I heard WVU combines research efforts with UNC to study the strange folks in Clayton to try to determine whether so many years of spitting cuds out on the sidewalks has led to increased incidents of abnormal abdominal gas. Early indications are that this is indeed the case. It results from unusually high levels of feces retention.

Actually UNC is researching how a university that has a 95% acceptance rate is able to graduate students that know how to read and write, let alone do research. Preliminary findings, as previously hypothesized, are that the issuance of degrees has no correlation to the students ability to cypher, but instead, there is a direct correlation between the size of the donation to Joe Manchin and the issuance of advanced diplomas.
