    The building on the right at 0:32 is interesting. Steel frame Early Chicago style. Probably built in the early 1920 or possibly before that. Look at that awning...! Nice condition and you could never replace it. It looks like Wheeling has some of it's roads nicely paved and others on schedule for it.

    I live in Martinsburg( eastern panhandle) it’s always interested me if the rest of WV looked as bad as it does here. Wheeling doesn’t look too different, it goes to show that majority of wv looks run down I wish they’d fix our state. At least the roads. 🤷🏾‍♂️

He was born in 1940 Address was 347 Hazlett when the house was sold in 1994 Wheeling Linen bought the house apparently the Wheeling Linen was trying to buy the homes next to the Linen building for some time to expand but the only one that sold was my dads parents Wheeling Linen tore the house down a few years after the house was sold to them

    I’m old enough to remember Wheeling as a thriving little city. Industries shut down, kids moved away, poor leadership brought it to this. It’s sad.

      It’s a Ghost town . Had been there this week . You will find many homeless around . Don’t get out of your car especially if you are with your family . It’s like horror or zombies movie scene out there. Horrible . Guy with cigarette in mouth pushing stroller with baby was like WTF moment. No cops around too . Be careful and don’t ever get out of your car.

      Downtown is replacing 100+ year old water main, so it's a mess. Also, have a major streetscaping project to start after. So with the I-70 construction and all that, it's a mess at the moment, not that it's ever great, just worse right now.

    It is a city, but it is depressed. Weat Virginia cities all look the same. They gave up on growth and prosperity because they have none. Charleston, Morgantown, Martinsburg, Beckley, and Huntington, forever doomed cities. They will never reach anything and people will move out because they are boring, placid towns that no one desires to live or do business in.

      @@Heavy_Distortion Was in Wheeling during summer of 2020 pandemic and it does look depressed. was in Charleston and Morgantown spring 2021 and they too look somewhat depressed but not like Wheeling. Don't know why but before visiting Wheeling I had an impression of a quaint little city with a thriving little art of music scene. I actually went all over the country for 3 months due to covid layoff and WV the only place without the stupid "we believe love is love" or "blm" signs up (or very very few). It was like the whole state was too removed or depressed to have the time or inclination to get involved in that mass American stupidity/virtue signaling.
