13 Signs That You Grew Up In Wheeling, WV
Only In Your State

Growing up in the "Friendly City" is something that not many get to experience, and the ones that do are very lucky to have done so. Our quaint little city of Wheeling may not seem like much, but it's still home to us and always will be. Here are some signs that you grew up in the friendliest city of them all:

1. You currently attend or graduated from either Wheeling Park, Linsly, or Central.



2. You remember going to countless birthday parties at Foggy Bottom.



3. It was so totally cool to hang out at the Ohio Valley Mall with friends.



4. You absolutely hate when people mispronounce Oglebay.



5. Your weekends are spent taking late-night runs to Sheetz with friends.


5. Dicarlo's Pizza is a staple of your diet...


6. And so are the greek wings from The Alpha.


7. As a kid, you were more excited to see Moondog than Santa Claus at the end of the Christmas Parade.


8. The Festival of Lights is your least favorite thing about the holiday season because it's the only time we actually have traffic.


9. The majority of your homecoming/prom pictures were taken in front of the Oglebay Mansion or the waterfront.



10. You use Pittsburgh as a reference point when describing our location.


11. Getting a geotag on Snapchat was a REALLY big deal.


12. It's highly likely that you have at least one Instagram picture of you at the Overlook.



13. You love having that "Wheeling Feeling."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
