Have a job offer and going back to take a second look.  Any suggestions for things to do or see?  I'm particularly interested in things that would appeal to a 10 year old boy.  Any comments about life in Morgantown would also be appreciated.

Thanks

It's a liberal leaning college town. What does your 10 year old like to do. WV is a great place for someone that likes the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, hiking, dirt bikes and 4 wheelers.

Is it really (liberal part)?  Granted I have not hung out in about 10 years except for football games (maybe 5 in that span) but I enjoyed myself there except when it snowed....and I did not have a car....and I lived on high street.

Back to OP, there are a great number of things to do.  If you want to save some money on a place, look into fairmont.  Quick commute and not as "busy".

He likes to shoot.  Loves to fish. Plays whatever sport is in season.  He'd generally rather be outside than playing video games.  Thanks

True...this town is full of libtards sucking off the teet of WVU!

Take him to Coopers Rock State Park.
Ride the PRT.
Mason Dixon Rifle Club has open IDPA matches the first Saturday of every month.
Deep Creek Lake is 30 minutes east, it's a beautiful drive to Wisp Resort, they have a very cool Mountain Coaster

Wish I could be there May 13, but mid-April is the only time I have off.  Thanks for the suggestions.  We'll check them out

Mason Dixon Rifle Club also has open Steel Challenge matches on the third Saturdays (The 15th!)  and open Sporting Clays matches on the 1st Sunday of the month. (Facebook MDRC-Inc)  
Camp Mountaineer (local boy scouts camp) has started an adult skeet and trap club, where members (and their guests) can use the shooting sports facilities anytime the camp doesn't have a scheduled function.
