BECKLEY, W.Va. — Much is made of the fact that Thurmond is nearly a ghost town, a fact that has been used to draw tourists down through the Gorge and near the New River.
Well, that reputation will take a bit of a hit over the next month as the National Park Service hauls in some new residents to help with the yard work.
