Posted January 18, 201015 yr ...with other exciting photos included! I'm hoping to do far more photos of Wheeling during the spring and summer. Despite the cloudy conditions in Wheeling today, I decided to travel up to the Mt. Wood Overlook (http://www.graveaddiction.com/mwover.html) and take some pictures. I also did a few other shots of the Overlook and some of Wheeling from elsewhere in the area. You can see WJU in this one. The overlook deserves much better care. Various spots on or viewed from Chapline Street. Bye from Wheeling!

January 20, 201015 yr I love Wheeling, and it has some of the best commercial building stock around, but it is always depressing :(
January 20, 201015 yr ^ yeah, they sure are. I get what Seth is saying about the WVA. Haunting. This part of the Ohio Valley was the locale for "Night of the Hunter". The Robert Mitchum character preached at a "tabernacle on Wheeling Island". In a way this reminds me of Kentucky, the same melancholy feel in Appalachian KY. But Wheeling has a suprising degree of urbanity for a smaller city, probaly due to being squeezed into a river valley. You get that a little with Huntington, too, but especially with Wheeling.
January 20, 201015 yr Though filmed mostly in PA, the movie the Mothman Prophecies gives a similar aura.
February 14, 201015 yr Interesting photos. Those concrete elements look like footers/foundations; were there once pavilions or observation structures there?
February 15, 201015 yr Great pictures of my hometown. :-) Do you live close to Wheeling? No, but I go to Jesuit.
