It has been said that Fairmont is the post-apocalyptic place where dreams go to die. It would be better to describe it as the land of dreams still-born. Everyone with ability or drive drives
straight out of town. How else can you explain that the high school that looks like a
prep school and a college neighborhood that looks like a bunch of crack houses? Fortunately, Fairmont cannot be seen from the highway as you race to
Morgantown.
