Grew up there on McColloch St. 1946-1964. Those were good times, passenger trains ran, airport, plenty of work, everything one needed was there on McColloch St. Grocery, barber shop, cobbler, automobile repair and great neighbors.
Thanks for visiting this city! For those who are wondering, Wheeling is much bigger than this. Elm grove and warwood have some really nice and affordable places to live.
I guess it depends on what stage of life you’re in. I don’t feel “ depressing.” I think historical and quiet . Looks kind of nice. And I lived in Bangkok, Thailand two years. Like the fact that it’s only an hour from Pittsburgh .
I love wheeling. Went there once as a teenager. Btw if you are ever looking into doing mountain grades there are a few I can recommend in my neck of the woods US 58 Martinsville to Hillsville VA Route 8 Stuart to Christiansburg US 221 Hillsville to Roanoke US 460 Blacksburg to Roanoke
There no shopping downtown or grocery store for local to buy food in its not a parking thing they built a garage and no renovation of Pittsburgh building went from 20_to 30 to 40 mil now maybe 50 to complete its not a yeppie town first thing they do is install meters
Disagree completely. The buildings are clean. There are no broken windows or board ups. No block long vacant lots full of debris and broken glass. It could be mire alive than it is, but whats there is doing quite well actually
Should've seen it 15 years ago. It's come back nicely. Abandoned buildings getting torn down and renovated, lots of new construction, and a lot of fine small businesses with good people in them.
Definitely true. If you came next year, it'd have been all fixed up and everything out back in its proper place, and we'll have more new buildings going up.
