Wheeling is poppin' off with the food halls all around town. Centre Market is probably the biggest…read moremarket in the area, but it ain't even the only one. Do West Virginians love their food halls? Maybe so. Centre Market has the famous Coleman's Fish Market, plus a second location of Tito's Sloppy Doggs (called Tito's in the Market House), a cheese shop and Michael's Beef House, home of the original roast beef sandwich. There's a building that's not physically connected but still part of Centre Market, and it houses a coffee shop, a hand-pie bakery, an ice cream shop and an art gallery. This part of Centre Market also has comfy couches and games to play, so if you're looking for an area to hang out and stay a while, this part of Centre Market is your spot. I love a good food hall, and Centre Market is a good place to visit if you're looking to find something to eat but don't know what you want. There's something for everyone here, and it's all local, which is great.

Awww, man, there is so much potential here and I can tell Wheeling is really working hard to…read morerevitalize downtown. On a Thursday afternoon the market area was mostly empty and desolate, but the vendors who were operating were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Makes me sad that Wheeling used to be THE city in which to see and be seen. We bought a few sweets and sausages from local vendors and I am sure I could have spent WAY more money here. The building reminds me of the marketplace in Charleston SC on a much smaller scale. I hope these vendors can make it and I wish them a major boost of life and vitality. Everything about Wheeling: the number of Victorian homes, the historic businesses, and the centre market have so much offer, if only a little love continues to go into downtown.

Stopped over here to check the place out. Basically it is a huge souvenir shop but you can find…read moreanything from the cheap and mundane to high quality fashion as shown with the Stetson cowboy hats, rhinestone shirts, and of course a separate section for both cowboy and work boots. Mocassins are made by Minnetownka which are all over the store. Check out the Native American headdresses on sale as you browse. They are very expensive as well as beautiful. They also carry suede and leather jackets, coonskin caps, Indian jewelry, pottery, carved gift boxes as well as some budget food. The boots are quality with famous names associated with them. Feel free to try them on before you purchase. The store is basically what you make of it. I was looking for Native American dolls and having found a few noticed that they were not authentic. Take time to check it out if you are in the area. Located near Dallas Pike exit on I 70 in WV, they have their own parking lot.

I adore this place! I've been wanting to invest in a pair of nice cowboy boots for long time and…read moredecided this was the best place to do it. Their selection is staggering, with rows and rows of boots for men women and children. Some boots are better suited for work, some more fashionable, but they're all high quality with a good range of price points. The pairs I was eyeing ranged from $143 to $260, but they did have pairs for upwards of $400. The store was clean, well stocked, and well organized with friendly and helpful staff. I had no trouble finding my size for most of the boots I tried on. The shop offers lots of other items besides boots including suede fringe jackets, furs, leather, hats, sandals, jewelry, candles (Smell These Nuts - it smells amazing), weather treatments for the boots, lollipops with worms and scorpions in them, as well as nick knacks and souvenirs. I ended up leaving with a beautiful pair of boots from the Corral company and a pair of silver earrings with coral and turquoise. I didn't get a chance to weatherproof them before my darling boyfriend decided to drag me through the bottom of the hill on headliner night at Jamboree in the Hills. Ahem. We are still together, but I did spend about 30 minutes lovingly cleaning them to restore them to their luster, and these are some durable boots. I wish this place was close to me, I'd definitely go broke here :)

You can learn about West Virginia history at this free museum. Or you can be like my children and…read morejust glance at the exhibits while trying to find buttons to push and things to touch. Your call! If you did go through the museum purposefully, though, you'd find a lot information about how West Virginia, a Unionist state, separated from Virginia, a Confederate state. There are three floors of Civil War memorabilia, West Virginia things and ... honestly, I think I'm like my children, because I didn't read any of the information either. But I know if you want to learn more about West Virginia, this is the place to do it. I mostly just enjoyed walking around, looking at the old furniture, peeking out of the windows and observing all of the nicely preserved historical objects that the museum has so lovingly displayed for everyone to see. This is a beautiful museum, and there's so much to see and learn about that I'm kind of shocked it was free to visit. There was one woman working there when we visited. It's a quiet little museum, so one person working there seemed right. I could tell that she really wanted us to ask questions -- she had a lot of West Virginia knowledge rattling around in her head. Unfortunately for her, my family was only there to push buttons and touch things and gaze out of the windows, so she retreated back to her desk and let us peruse freely. We had a good time at West Virginia Independence Hall, and stayed maybe 30 minutes. But I could see other people staying an hour or more, especially if you are really into history, and you take your time to absorb all of the information that's available.

OMG This museum is FREE!!! It is full of West Virginia…read moreHistory, artifacts and gems. Parking is in the rear and FREE as well. Easy to locate in downtown area of Wheeling across from the B&O Railroad Building which is now part of the community college. For my birthday I wanted to go here so my hubby Tony, daughter Noel and her boyfriend Adam joined me. Outside on the corner is a hugh statue of Governor Pierpont, the first governor of the new State of West Virginia. Some historical markers, a monument to the civil war, and a cannon. Inside there is 3 levels. Top level is the courtroom, were the convention was held to declare, argue and vote on making a new State and breaking away from Virginia. It was here that West Virginia was born. Second levels there are various rooms stuffed full of historical memorable items. First floor there are some civil war informative displays, an old post office and a riverboat display. In the basement, bathrooms and theatre to watch a 18 minute brief film narrates how this all became about. This was originally the Old Custom House.

That 50 for 50% off deal does not help. Buy 50 or more back issues and get it 50% off! Being the comic crack addict I am, I can easily do 50. Prices are competitive, didn't see anything overpriced. Staff is super friendly, but if you come in asking for maps or puzzles be prepared to be hit on the head. I love how their name badges are nicknames like Boomhauer and Overlord. Address them by those names to give em a smile. Large variety of comics both old and current. There are action figures n games too but I didn't pay much attention to them. Very spacious.

4.5 stars overall. The Highlands is a shopping complex that opened a while ago but still looks new…read more As of 2024, this shopping complex includes about 30 retail stores, 26 restaurants, 7 hotels, 28 service businesses, 3 entertainment businesses, 3 vehicle dealerships, and 3 industrial businesses. The stores sell accessories, clothing, footwear, electronics, furniture, craft supplies, home decor, home-improvement products, pet supplies, video games, chocolates, etcetera. The stores are definitely not upscale (e.g., Best Buy, Cabela's, JCPenney, Kohl's, Menards, Old Navy, Target, and Walmart), but they sell what local people need. The restaurants serve cuisines such as burgers, fried chicken, pizzas, Mexican foods, Japanese foods, steaks, ice creams, etcetera. Most restaurants are chains (e.g., Bob Evans, Eat 'n Park, Fusion Steakhouse, Jimmy John's, Primanti Bros., and Texas Roadhouse), and all have a casual atmosphere. Service businesses provide healthcare, nail and hair styling, cell-phone plans, banking, etcetera. Entertainment includes a movie theater, simulated golf, and a sports complex. Over the past several years, I have visited this shopping center multiple times. It is conveniently located for people who live near Wheeling city, Eastern Ohio, or Southwestern Pennsylvania and for people who are traveling through the area.
