Bonny Blue, Virginia: Hard Times Hit the Coalfields
Bonny Blue, Virginia: Hard Times Hit the Coalfields of Appalachia
Bonny Blue was a top-producing coal operation in its heyday but has fallen on hard times recently with a rapidly declining population. Coal has made a bit of a comeback but the impact isn’t really felt in this old coal town in Lee County, Virginia. Appalachian people in the coalfields are used to hard times and surviving them, it is part of the experience.
