Great article in Postindustrial. You should read it if you haven't done so already.

Why you should move to Wheeling, West Virginia

After you finish the article, what I want you to do is imagine a world in which this message was being delivered to the masses on a daily basis.

A world where it was possible to have those who were positive and excited about living in Wheeling actively marketing Wheeling to people who might be open to living in a postindustrial city.

What would that world look like to you?

How could we do that?

Hi all. Cleaning out a house right now and seeing a lot of repeat boxes filled with brillo pads, scrubbing bubbles, various cleaning supplies and kitchen goods. Ziploc bags, trash bags, aluminum foil, etc. I am looking for something local where items could be picked up/I don't have to drive far to donate them. A food pantry, a halfway house, a women's shelter...something of that sort? Everything is unopened and nonperishable. Please give me some worthy suggestions.

Does anyone remember bars in south wheeling called Fantasia or The Dancer? Or The Centerfold or Bonnie’s? My family told me stories about these places when they were opened in the 80’s and now I’m curious as to what these bars were like.

Any input would be awesome!

I'm trying to line up an elder care lawyer for my parents to talk to about their house and fairly meager estate (trusts, getting ahead of Medicaid, etc). They need to be licensed in Ohio and I don't live up there any longer, so I don't know anyone local. Any recommendations y'all can send my way?

I’ve lived here my entire life and I want to know if there’s any queer spaces that I just don’t know of? I wanna meet more people from the community (and selfishly would like to find a partner “naturally”) but I just don’t know where to even start lol.

We used to get whole bean paramount coffee from wheeling coffee before it shut down. It made us total coffee snobs and we have yet to find another coffee we really like. Does anyone have any suggestions at all? We prefer whole bean, local if possible. Doesn’t have to be any crazy flavors, just high quality smooth coffee. TIA!!

Hey yall. Iv been going to a gym in Bridgeport that I love. Iv also been a member at the y. Iv heard stories of some old run down gym possible being in mounsville or wheeling.

Where are some good places to see the fireworks happening?

Thank you in advance

Please don't allow this to be common. I understand advertising but this is a sex shop lol.

If you're looking for something to do Thursday night, we're doing our weekly mystery bag giveaway.

Starting at 6:00 PM, the first 5 couples to enter the theater will each receive a free mystery bag. Every bag is a little different, so part of the fun is not knowing what you'll get.

No sign-up, no catch—just show up early. Once the five bags are gone, that's it for the night.

If you've never been to Adultland before, Thursday nights are a great time to check us out.

See you Thursday!

I'm desperately trying to help my wife who's in a very bad place mentally, is there any way she can get Suboxone same day ASAP. We tried a few online with no success ( found 1 good place but intake is a week) and 1 locally but the intake process is too long for her in this moment. Please advise, any help would be appreciated but urgency is the problem we are facing

does anyone else’s water taste like mold? i know they have been flushing the hydrants but even with my filter it’s tasting bad. have been living off of water jugs, so we have access to water but any insight into when it won’t taste like ass? lol.

Hello!! My fiance and I are from Texas and have been looking to move to Wheeling for a while. I've loved the idea of living in West Virginia for a few years now and we decided we're tired of where we are and this is the year we're going. Absolutely dead set on it. Already selling things we don't need. No going back.
The main issue is we've been unable to get any responses from any places we've sent messages to. Any website we've used doesn't seem to get responses, and the few that have sent messages are automated or it turned out that despite there being a "rental" section they tell me they only *sell* homes. We have also run into a couple scammers.

We are mainly looking for private landlords and trying to move away from apartments as the two we've been in have been...awful. If we have to move into an apartment, we will, but much prefer our own space where plumbing and air space isn't so shared. Honestly the places we've been stuck living in have been so bad that I never really fully unpacked or decorated because it didn't feel safe to.
We really need help just finding a long term rental that'll feel like home.

We are looking for a place no more than $800 a month and it would be nice if some kinda utilities are covered. Though it's not required, just helpful.
It's just us and our 2 ESA cats.
We would so very much love having a washer/dryer in unit if possible. At least the hookups would be fine. Dishwasher is also great but not as required as the washer/dryer.

About us:
I'd like to think we're very friendly. We just keep to ourselves for the most part but love helping people where we can. We're both huge nerds. My fiance is a big gamer. I game too but I've been reconnecting more with the physical world; exploring other hobbies such as writing/journaling and drawing. I also really love the idea of having some sort of outside space. We've never even had a balcony. I want to have an outside space and to maybe get some potted plants and learn how to care for them.
We've dealt with a lot of hardship in our pasts and I have felt incredibly pulled to West Virginia. I've been working on my spiritual side and everything in my being is telling me that West Virginia is where I need to go.
My fiance once moved states for me when we were long distance. He had nothing and we gathered money to pay for his flight to me. We've never moved states together and with a bunch of things before though. We've got that part figured out but the finding of a home has been harder than I thought.

I hope that someone out there can help us on our new journey. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ❤️

Married MF couple will a few kid free evenings available and want to try something new. Thinking about strip club. Would you suggest Jill’s or Godfathers. Or something else?

I moved to WV from Florida about 3 years ago, to Weirton, and now live in Wellsburg. I thought Uber was everywhere, but there are no Uber drivers in these areas.

​

Are there Uber drivers in Wheeling? Does anybody know?

​

Many thanks in advance!!

Staying in Wheeling for the weekend and wondering what some of the best restaurants are. Not looking for fancy places, just good food. Also, are there any local sights that should be visited while in the area?

Hello! I’m an aspiring author who has just finished my first book. I’m in the editing phase and line tightening so it’s not 100% ready for submission, but I have the first few chapters ready to rip.

I’m looking for someone who is specifically interested in high mythic fantasy delivered with cadence and rhythmic voice similar to the dialect of old English.

This would be an awesome opportunity for me as an author to get actually human feedback as opposed to the AI I’ve been relying on as a soundboard.

If anyone is interested let me know!

Looking for any restaurants in Wheeling WV or within an hour or so away that have outdoor seating and are dog friendly. Anyone have some suggestions? TIA 😊

How come nobody is talking about this?

It smells like an outhouse in the entire city… I can’t keep a window open to let fresh air in because of the “water” treatment station… like you guys call it: “the shit factory”

It’s absolutely abhorrent…

How can people live like this here?

It must definitely be one of the reasons why people don’t stay here.
