people living in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia are two or more years behind in society, but live only

mid to late 1990's and wear black tennis shoes to all occassions. Women in this epidemic seem to have a fetish for Looney Tunes T's and/or other cartoons.

West Virginia Panhandle Epidemic"
