I looked up the thing.

BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WOWK) — The Target in the Merritt Creek Shopping Center in Barboursville, West Virginia is falling apart after the road behind it collapsed.

Edit: known issue, Target just thought they could beat nature unlike the last tenant.

I knew it was West Virginia.

This is not climate change, y'all. The Appalachians are an eroding mountain range. The town where my sister lives is in a constant battle to keep the roads from falling into the adjacent creek beds. It's just an absurdly difficult geography to build on.

Fun fact: The Appalachians are older than Saturn's rings

Yep! Over a billion years old and a major feature on Pangaea.
