Big Four is an unincorporated community located in McDowell County, West Virginia, United States. Their post office [2] has been closed. Originally known as Cirrus,[3] Big Four is reported[by whom?] to have been renamed for the four men who operated the coal mines in the area. It was once home to the lively and beloved restaurant, "The Chatterbox", which incidentally was the location of the infamous "privy debacle"[clarification needed]. It also was home to the Starland Drive-In Theater and a roller rink[citation needed].
