Wheeling after many years away - 8/14/2012
My wife and I grew up in Wheeling and left in our early 20's but have come back after 40 years. Having lived from Bangor, ME to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl we found there is no perfect place to live. Wheeling for its size has many activities going on all of the time. Music festivals, music in the parks (two of the finest parks in the country), golf courses, unbelievable shopping at the Highlands including Cabelas and many restuarants and the Ohio Valley Mall. Colleges and Universities, great hospitals and some of the least expensive housing in the country. Climate is not too bad and winters are fairly mild with little snow. Unbelievable architecture and many historic homes. If the crime rate seems a little high dont take it too serious, as a former cop I can tell you it is mostly a certain group preying on their own. Need I say more... A great place for retiring babyboomers and I am surprised they have not discovered it

Decaying old Rust Belt Ohio River town - 8/6/2009
Wheeling has gone from almost 70,000 people in 1940 to barely 28,000 in 2009! Steel and Coal made the Upper Ohio Valley but the mills are all but gone and virtually all high paying industrial jobs went with them. Positives: very low cost of living; decent schools in many areas, great boating on the Ohio and nearby lakes, much wildlife in nearby forests. The suburbs like Woodsdale, Elm Grove, "the Pike", and St. Clairsville in OH are still pretty nice. Negatives: few professional jobs, no tech, not much culture, large portion of the population is elderly retired people. So many vacant houses they bulldoze entire city blocks. Serious drug and prostitution problems in East

Wheeling - 7/19/2007
Wheeling is a fantastic place to live, work, play , and raise a family. I went to college there and left after graduation. Now that I have several years of work experience and have traveled, I am ready to move back and settle there. In the beautiful Ohio Valley. It's close to Pittsburgh, PA (50 mi), Columbus, OH (120 mi), Cleveland, OH (135 mi), Niagara Falls, NY (approx. 290 mi., etc. Great public and private schools for both secondary and colligate-level education. Great live music
