Reiki Attunements in Bluefield, West Virginia
Bluefield is a city in Mercer County on West Virginia's southern border, at an elevation of about 2,631 feet, directly adjoining the separate town of Bluefield, Virginia.
It developed in the late 1800s as a Norfolk and Western Railway division point serving the Pocahontas coalfield. Bluefield was built as the Norfolk and Western Railway's headquarters town for the Pocahontas coalfield, and its 2,631-foot elevation produced the long-used local description of it as a naturally air-conditioned city, marked by the free-lemonade-above-90-degrees tradition kept since 1938. 1882: Captain John Fields of the Norfolk and Western Railway opened the area for railroad development. 1938: the Chamber of Commerce began giving away free lemonade on days when the temperature passes 90 degrees Fahrenheit, a tradition that has continued. 1887-1888: passenger travel through the area rose sharply as the railroad expanded.
