Can I ride my 30mph Electric Scooter Acroos the Parkersburg memorial bridge?

I recently bought a scooter to commute, from Vienna to belpre. Stopped in and talked to the Vienna police. They said to ride it in traffic. I am wondering if I can cross the Parkersburg memorial bridge on it. I do not have to have a license, and it tops out at 30 miles an hour.

Thoughts about moving

Hi, I lived in this town for all my life I am in my 20's .I personally feel like I'm not living like I should. All my friends who moved to Ohio all seem to be happy and financially great . I'm still at my first job been there since I graduated high school and I'm just now almost making 950$ every two weeks. I know it's hard to move away from a hometown , but it just doesn't feel the same here anymore like the early 2000's. It seems like I just let the bad parts of the town get to me. I'm not the smartest person I have no college education or military background. But I feel like a failure in this small town and I just wonder if things will somehow get better here or not. I know it's up to me to better myself but I was never really taught how to get the ball rolling when it comes to certain things, I grew up in a family who thinks once you get any job you should cling to it . FYI I don't want this to be a hate post , I will always appreciate the town I grew up in. I just want to see if others felt the same

My most favorite restaurant in town!!! Chams Lebanese Cuisine

Chams Lebanese Cuisine located at 610 Market St Downtown Parkersburg Try Chams special or shish taouk (chicken kabobs) with the fresh garlic aioli! Try the Fatoush salad and the Lebanese salad they are both awesome! They have Falafel and shawarma! The hummus is the best you’ll ever have! Don’t forget Chams made from scratch baklava! Also there’s delicious daily specials! The Turkish coffee comes highly recommended by me!! Marcie…

Visiting for work. Need a place to hang and drink after work!

Quick question. I’m going to be in the Parkersburg area soon, what are the best places (bars or clubs) to go to at night to meet people and hang out. I don’t want to sit in my hotel room! Lol

Abandoned Building Locations?

Hi neighbors. I fly FPV drones and am looking for an area with some abandoned buildings to fly around. I’d rather fly around abandoned buildings so when I inevitably crash, I don’t cause real damage to an occupied/in use building. Anyone else who flies is more than welcome to join too!

Best Acrylics?

Where is the best place to get acrylics in the area? Went to Elon and wasn't impressed, wasn't done fully to the cuticle and started lifting from my nail in about a week. Looking for somewhere that preferably takes walk-ins and are known to be durable. Thanks!

City Park Pavilion

I'm singing the petition. The City has no clear plans on development of the New $13mil building in the park.

Specifically regarding car parking. I don't want to see the city park paved over for convenience.

Cars should be eliminated from the park, not encouraged.
