I went with my daughter the other day on a Listing 2 hours away!!! YES! 2 hours!! Long story but bottom line she does a lot of foreclosures and as a favor, she took this listing cause there was no one else to do the job!

It brought back memories of my childhood , where I was raised in a little Coal Mining
Town in Grundy, Virginia.

This Listing took us through Harlan, Ky and we stopped and took some pictures of this unique town once called Bloody Harlan!

Thanks Adrian, It was a enjoyable trip!! Such a rural area, when we got there we stopped at the post office to ask directions and the Post office was ran by two older ladies one of which jumped in her car that she delivers mail in and said "Follow me I was just headed that way to deliver mail I will take you right to the door!!!

Patricia, Nice to meet another Coal Miners Grandaughter!! I grew up right in the middle of the Coal Mines Country In Grundy Va. I played on the Railroad Tracks!!! I have a lot of respect for Coal Miners!!!
