Not familiar with that town. Nitro, WV on the other hand, is a cool place. West Virginia is one of the most scenic states I've ever been to. And the road are awesome. | ||

Actually, they never entered into Nitro production as the city was incorporated back in 1918, the end of WWI, and the plant that was to produce the ammo for the war effort never operated before the war end. You are correct about the chemicals. At one point from the 1950's to the late 1970's, it was the chem capital of the world. There are not any chem smells in Nitro these days! | ||

The mayor of Nitro and his daughter were in my raft white water rafting once. That was probably in the mid to late 80's. Isn't that where the big lotto winner lost some money in a strip club? | ||
