It's amazing, Wheeling has the downtown of a much larger city.

[@VanEgan]

Because everyone left

[@joshgames1849]

Awesome! I live just south of there in Moundsville. Great video! Thank you!

[@stephaniesinger1159]

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.

Thankyou for this updated video

[@zannemairiwoods528]

Thank you for the tour !

[@Furnominal]

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.

[@bobmiller9313]

Wheeling has seen its last days. Needs big improvements .

[@bangkapihappy8295]

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 .

[@kendrickmagee672]

I would like to visit Wheeling, WV

[@willbygosh4887]

Should check out downtown Clarksburg and Fairmont West Virginia someday,somewhat similiar to Wheeling.

[@alasdairhicks6731]

But much smaller

[@matthairston7783]

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

[@thomaspatroski8991]

Wheeling back in its hay day was a great place to live , taxes on top of taxes took its toll over the years, businesses kept moving out. Its sad in this video how many empty lots that once held a business located on it are now just vacant.

[@kimcircagirl474]

them mountain s,ahhhhhh😁🙌

[@Furnominal]

New street scape coming soon!

[@alasdairhicks6731]

Can't wait for it to finish. Business will flourish and people will flow in.

[@kimcircagirl474]

Yay ,Just Awesome News

[@jennifergraham9679]

Remind me of Pittsburgh.

[@alasdairhicks6731]

Satellite city. Grew up on the same industry. Steel everywhere.

[@JimAllen-Persona]

Looks a lot like Curtis Bay Area in Baltimore. Apparently there is a better section of town.

[@richardsanty9063]

Where's the casino?

[@kimcircagirl474]

,need lite sound bluegrass in background 😆

[@greg2976]

Will the streets ever be repaved in the next 50 years?

[@donaldewert2332]

Is the Wheeling Jamboree still going? Doc & Chickie Williams home base.

[@crm208]

Cow bells and let's get that wheeling feeling😊

[@ChuckKarges]

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

[@joeerickson2581]

That was quite the ride trying to read through that.

[@cartermartin6284]

The whole area looks so run down. Very sad!

[@ChatGPT1111]

Looks like a dirtier poorer but larger version of Burlington VT.

[@alasdairhicks6731]

A lot of construction makes this place look dirty. Lots of renovations and new constructions happening. I grew up there.

[@Somewherell2]

​@@alasdairhicks6731looks nice to me

[@donnaneal8191]

Yep yep yep . Very very depressing !!!

[@kimcircagirl474]

I know there building and such ,be nice for nxt video ,have lil less construction

[@bibiijaz6238]

It has a vibe of depression.

[@JimAllen-Persona]

@@matilda628 Sad, actually.

[@marcbyrnes293]

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

[@clipsburg412]

It doesn't look that bad actually, have you seen some of these other rust belt towns?

[@alasdairhicks6731]

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.

[@bobmiller9313]

Agree. Not a nice place visit

[@Imyourchuckleberry]

the only good thing about it is the di carlo's

[@Dlri]

No offense but you picked possibly the worst time to visit wheeling 🤣 it’s always a cesspool of construction but never this bad lmao

[@alasdairhicks6731]

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.

[@BradRains]

Wheeling has the feeling of a dumpy town. I was surprised that they have a minor league hockey team (Wheeling Nailers of ECHL) in that town.

[@alasdairhicks6731]

Lots of renovations and new construction make it look dumpy. It was really bad in the 90s and 00s, but it's coming back.

[@Mark-ej3zu]

i growup in wheeling my god its in bad shape

[@rapman5791]

Place is a dump.

[@811JKLM]

This town is depressing!!

[@alasdairhicks6731]

It's getting new life. Should've seen it 15 years ago.
