| Pax, West Virginia, is the home of The Corner, | | | | Possibly the best thing about The Corner is the folks |
| formerly known as Kelly's Korner, a family-owned | | | | who eat there and the folks that stop by to visit. Most |
| eatery that serves up some scrumptious country | | | | of the locals eat here, and since Pax is relatively small, |
| cooking. You won't find anything fancy on the menu or | | | | just about everyone knows everybody else. I love to |
| for a daily special. What you will find is hot dogs, | | | | sit back, enjoy my coffee, and listen to the chatter |
| hamburgers, open-faced turkey and roast beef | | | | about farms, crops, the big reunion coming up (Pax has |
| sandwiches, and club sandwiches prepared with TLC, | | | | a reunion every two years for graduates from Pax |
| usually accompanied by crisp, hot-from-the-oven | | | | High School, and it's big doin's, let me tell you--we're |
| French fries or hand-whipped mashed potatoes with | | | | talking over three thousand people coming to a town |
| homemade gravy. | | | | with a population of about 200 give or take a few) or |
| Breakfast is my favorite meal at Kelly's. Perfectly | | | | state politics, always an interesting topic anywere in |
| cooked eggs, crisp bacon, toast or biscuits (no bagels | | | | West Virginia. |
| here) and a steaming cup of coffee. Of course, that's | | | | So if you find yourself driving on I-77 in southern West |
| all after a rousing "Good Morning!" Additionally, there | | | | Virginia, look for the Pax exit and enjoy a meal at The |
| may be pancakes or French toast, all made from | | | | Corner. You may have to wait a minute or two for a |
| scratch like the biscuits. And don't forget the sausage | | | | table during the busy breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours, |
| gravy to cover those biscuits (if you get there before | | | | but you'll be glad you did. |
| my family eats!). | | | | |
