    "It is a very small town, but safe for the most part. It doesn’t really have any activities for children or adults to be involved in. There isn’t much knowledge of culture here either. I do like the short commute you have to go anywhere within the city. "

    "Parkersburg is trying to offer more cultural events - farmer's markets, wine festival, local food festivals, etc. It's a nice town and people are generally friendly, but it's a little too politically conservative for my taste. I was born and raised here, and it will always feel like "home," but I don't think I could live here again."
