Long Weekend in Wheeling

[BTisinDC]

When I was young (back when LBJ was President), there was only one reason young men ever went to Wheeling. Or Steubenville. And, it wasn’t the pizza.

Was it for the Wheeling Feeling?

Prostitutes?

 

[I-70 Roadkill]

Here are some restaurants in Wheeling that you might want to check out:
Rachels on 16th (for breakfast/lunch)
Figaretti's (Italian, just off I-70 at the Wheeling U exit)
Later Gator (near the market area in south Wheeling)
Avenue Eats (downtown for a good burger)
Elle&Jacks (actually on Chapline St)
Some one mentioned Carlitos but it closed recently.

Plenty of golf at Olgebay if the weather holds up. Greyhound racing and casino on Wheeling Island.

Since you posted on a basketball board I assume you like basketball---- and if they are playing at home some excellent D2 basketball is played about 5 miles from Olgebay at West Liberty U.

You wont be disappointed. Wheeling has undergone quite the renaissance. I'm surprised you were able to get a hotel room. There are efforts being made to refurbish the Wheeling Civic Center to bring in an NBA team as well as hosting NCAA games during the next pandemic.

Right on cue, I have been informed that Wheeling has landed a pro basketball team, no doubt as a "pilot" for its potential NBA franchise. The ABA's Western Pennsylvania Wolverines will use the Highlands Sports Complex in Triadelphia. They are lead by former Pitt and Howard football player Kazeon Pugh. This is another reason why the NBA needs to use my "FA Cup model" for its in-season tournament. A team like the Wolverines should be able to make a Cinderella run to the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. Can you imagine how electric the Highlands would be if LeBron or Steph showed up to take an L to the Wolverines?

Is TJs sports bar still open? Also I can’t believe no one mentioned the biggest tourist attraction in Wheeling - Jills Gentlemen’s Club!!!
