Triadelphia, to be precise (population 811). A very short trip - one night stop-over, but I've never been before. Anything worth taking note of? My boss just told me to make sure to keep my purty little mouth shut in case they heard my accent, and that if I heard banjos, I should run like the wind . Not sure what he meant by that....he also said it was fairly close to civilization, but all I could see was Pittsburgh. |

That's the panhandle, not really West Virginia. Very much like Western PA and Eastern Ohio. No banjos... |

Looks like it's about 2 miles from Ohio and 5 miles from Pennsylvania. In other words, Mark lives closer to Illinois.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
Try not to eat while you are there. In any event steer very, very clear of Quaker State. even MFR deemed it vile. |

There is some very nice country between here and there, but not many people. You are close to Wheeling, there is a Casino and Racetrack. Billy the Kid was not from Wheeling. Wheeling had boasted the longest suspension bridge in the world: the cleverly named Wheeling Suspension Bridge (until it was unseated in 1851 by the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge between Niagara and Ontario) |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

But Wheeling and Triadelphia really aren't West Virginia. |

Still sounds scary. I just read that it's the only place in the country where Life Flight is used by the rich person to see a dentist. (we are a relentless bunch, deserved or not) |

The difference between Wheeling and the rest of West Virginia? In Wheeling, Moosehead is a beer. In the rest of West Virginia, it's a misdemeanor. |
