Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WV EXPLORER – The West Virginia town that helped pave America There's a bend in the Ohio River where West Virginia helped build American cities one brick at a time. More than 20 brick plants once operated around New Cumberland, producing millions of bricks that traveled by river and rail to communities across the country. The concentration was so great that riverboat crews called the area "Brickyard Bend." Historian Jeanne Grimm writes that New Cumberland was considered the brick capital of the United States from about 1840 to 1910. Hancock County had extensive clay deposits, including fire clays useful for products that could withstand extreme heat. New Cumberland's location on the Ohio River also gave manufacturers access to distant markets long before the railroad arrived. West Virginia bricks found their way to streets in Wheeling and Steubenville and to projects as far away as New Jersey and South Carolina. Later, local manufacturers increasingly produced heat-resistant brick for steelmaking and other heavy industries.

Davis sits along the Blackwater River on the edge of the Monongahela National Forest. Once a timber town nicknamed "Stumptown," Davis has evolved into a destination built around art and outdoor recreation. Just three miles away, Blackwater Falls State Park surrounds its famous 57-foot waterfall with autumn color. Canaan Valley offers another view from above with a scenic chairlift, while Dolly Sods Wilderness and the Blackwater Canyon Rail Trail provide plenty of ways to explore on foot. Then there's the Leaf Peepers Festival, held the last weekend in September with a firemen's parade, live music, the Run For It race, food and craft vendors and family activities. Peak color varies with the weather, but late September through the first half of October is typically the prime window for this beautiful area of the state.

The Charleston native has found growing national recognition through rock and alternative music, major radio and Billboard chart appearances and a crossover into country. His work stretches across rock, pop, R&B and country. But Thomas' conversation with The Real WV goes beyond music. It's also about what it means to grow up here, leave to pursue opportunity and remain connected to home. Thomas says West Virginia's landscapes, country music and outdoor traditions continue to influence his perspective and his work. At the same time, he's candid about the challenges young people can face when pursuing careers in creative industries.

The gearhead goons' annual getogether at JFS4 went off relatively hitchless - so much 'froading, so much food and a seriously good hangout at Eagle's Nest in Marble (got to have a driveway that's four-by only).  From classic trails like the famously lethal Schofield Road, multipersonalitied Pearl Pass, bottled up Gunsite Road, expansive Montezuma Basin, unappreciated Sheep Mountain, Lead King and Crystal Mill (get in there), we shoved everything from ultra-capable trail buggies to an Ineos Grenadier with the radar signature of the Pentagon through (almost) all of them (and you can too!).  ...And because we did everything and then some in trailed-out 4Runners and a Jeep, you probably can too - advocate for your access and your right to roam. More info in this extended-play look over the shoulder: BushDucks (has details), Admiral Rickover (knows stuff), community Marble (get some), vintage truck self-adjustment (because third-gen 4Runner), geniuses from Hughes to Musk, Ayatollahs from San Diego, plus Fatso Jetson, Kyuss, Earthlings, Truckfighters and Corrosion of Conformity.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, host Michael D. Levitt sits down with Brent Stewart, owner of Stewart Law Offices, a personal injury firm serving North and South Carolina that has been in practice for thirty one years. Brent shares what drew him to personal injury law, how his firm handles tractor trailer and trucking accident cases, and why the emotional weight of closing a case can rival the weight of the accident itself. The conversation covers driver negligence, the imbalance of resources between families and trucking companies, and the counseling role attorneys play long after the legal work is finished. Guest Bio Brent Stewart is the owner of Stewart Law Offices, a personal injury firm based in North and South Carolina with more than three decades of experience representing families affected by tractor trailer and trucking accidents. His practice focuses on holding negligent drivers and trucking companies accountable while guiding clients through the legal and emotional realities of a serious injury or wrongful death claim. What You Will Learn Why Brent chose personal injury law and the mentor who shaped his approach to the work How trucking companies respond immediately after a serious accident and why that matters for families What a spoliation letter is and why it is one of the first steps in a trucking case Why trucking cases often take years to resolve and what that means for the families involved Why the emotional toll of closing a case can be as significant as the accident that started it Why law firms and mental health resources should work more closely together after a settlement Why a free consultation with a personal injury attorney is worth the call, even if you never hire them Episode Highlights The Path Into Personal Injury Law Brent describes growing up aware of how quickly a family's financial stability could shift and how a summer clerking for attorney Jim Bordas in Wheeling, West Virginia showed him the impact a lawyer can have on a family in crisis. The Realities of Trucking Litigation Michael and Brent discuss the rise in serious trucking accidents, the importance of driver training and licensing, and the aggravating circumstances that can arise when trucking companies fail to preserve evidence after a wreck. Resources and the David and Goliath Dynamic Brent explains why trucking companies move quickly to protect their bottom line after an accident and why families need an attorney with the experience and resources to match that response. Closure and the Emotional Weight of Settlement One of the most candid moments of the episode covers what happens after a case settles. Brent shares that the emotions clients feel at closure can be nearly as intense as the day the accident happened, because the case itself has often become a source of stability during a difficult chapter of their lives. Words of Wisdom Brent closes with a reminder that a consultation with a personal injury attorney costs nothing and that anyone affected by a serious accident owes it to their family to make the call and get informed before deciding what to do next.

In the railroad town of Brewster, Ohio, the Wandle House was built to welcome railroad workers. Today, it welcomes paranormal investigators. Built in 1916 by the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad, the building provided railroad crews with a place to stay between assignments. With more than 60 dormitory rooms, a restaurant, theater, library, and bowling alley, it became a home away from home for generations of railroad workers. Today, the Brewster-Sugar Creek Historical Society preserves the Wandle House as a museum dedicated to that rich railroad history.But history isn't the only thing visitors remember. Over the years, reports of shadow figures, unexplained voices, apparitions, phantom footsteps, and other strange encounters have added an unexpected chapter to the Wandle House's story, drawing paranormal investigators eager to discover what may still linger inside its historic walls.As a trustee of the Brewster-Sugar Creek Historical Society, Andrew Hess has a unique perspective on both the history and the mystery of the Wandle House. He joins us to explore the building's remarkable past, the unexplained experiences that spark paranormal investigations, and why this historic landmark continues to fascinate everyone who walks through its doors.#TheGraveTalks #WandleHouse #HauntedOhio #RailroadHistory #Paranormal #GhostHunting #HistoricHauntings #HauntedMuseum #OhioGhosts #ParanormalPodcastFor more information on paranormal investigations, click here.Love real ghost stories?

The Hiss Perjury Conviction and the Ignition of the McCarthy Era GUEST: Nick Bunker On January 25, 1950, the conviction of Alger Hiss for perjury electrified American politics, seemingly validating Republican claims that Washington was "full of communist subversives." Seizing the moment, Dean Acheson made a controversial statement of personal loyalty to Hiss, which Joe McCarthy immediately used to launch his crusade. In February, McCarthy famously alleged in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he had a list of 56 card-carrying communists in the State Department. Democratic Majority Leader Scott Lucas failed to stop McCarthy, finding himself outmaneuvered by the Senator's "aggression" and "inventiveness." Lucas made a critical historical error by agreeing to a Senate subcommittee to investigate the allegations, providing McCarthy with a national stage to harry the President during an election year. This platform allowed the scandal to grow publicly, transforming McCarthy from a "wild card" into a powerful national figure who dominated the political scene. (5)

Sara Aydin taught herself to ride, ignored the people who said women didn't belong on motorcycles, and became one of the most-watched female stunt riders in the world.

In this episode, Sara opens up about her family's immigrant roots, choosing motorcycles over the traditional path her parents envisioned, teaching herself to wheelie, signing with Monster Energy, filming "SAOKO," surviving serious injuries, the craziest police chases she's experienced, and why she's determined to inspire the next generation of female riders.
