In the video “Exploring America’s Poorest Region Alone,” Drew Binsky takes viewers on a journey through McDowell County, West Virginia, known as one of America’s poorest regions. With a minimum household income of less than $29,000 USD, this area has been deeply impacted by the decline of the coal industry, leaving ghost towns in its wake.
As Binsky drives through this forgotten America, he encounters captivating narratives that highlight the resilience and spirit of the people who call this region home. While most of his travel stories have been overseas, he finds that some of the most compelling ones are right in his own backyard.
Joined by two locals, Dave and Tess, Binsky immerses himself in the culture and hospitality of McDowell County, showcasing the beauty and complexity of this often overlooked part of the country. Through this experience, he not only sheds light on the struggles faced by the community but also celebrates the strength and friendship found among its residents.
With this video, Binsky invites viewers to explore a different side of America and inspires them to appreciate the diversity and richness of their own country. Through his engaging storytelling and unique perspective, he showcases the importance of travel and connection in understanding the world around us.
