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."

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that?

Great Value Colleges

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
