Best hikes with some elevation close to wheeling?

I know the mountains are smaller around here but I’d love to get some views in and my car isn’t the most reliable right now so I don’t want to venture too far..

Experiences with C3 Church in Wheeling?

I am a reporter and am curious what folks' experiences have been with the C3 in Wheeling, as some other C3/"Awaken" churches have faced allegations of exploitative behavior in the past. Feel free to dm.

The Quinet family, legal action? Help?

Hello, I would like to make this post to to share my story and for others to be aware and to save someone from going through this. I am a single mother who is now homeless with a 9 month old baby. I have spent all my money and have nowhere to go and no formula to even feed my son. They have completely ruined my life.

I am a 24 year old single mom (father doesn't live with us but helps where he can) and after splitting with my son's father I was renting from Matt and Nancy. I painted and redid a few things in the apartment which Matt was ecstatic about and encouraged. My sons dad even mowed some of the lawns for their apartments. One day I was in the driveway and Matt asked if I could be out by the next day, ( Friday Sept 6th. I was kind but ultimately said no. I thought it would be way too difficult with a baby. Saturday Sept 7th, Matt randomly writes my son's dad and offers to give me $1000 ($650 security deposit + $350 additional) to move out the following day. He said, that he had someone that wanted our specific apartment. I was paid up for the month of September. At first I said no, it would be too hard but later I agreed.

So we immediately rented a U-Haul, bought a storage unit, and prepared everything to move. We worked from 6am to 3pm the next day. That whole night Matt was messaging and calling my son's dad saying he has the money for us and to get done asap. He will give it to us right then and there, etc etc. We would have been done sooner but my 9 month old son had to go to the emergency room. (He is now okay.)

We loaded the U-Haul and Matt was there cleaning the neighboring apartment. We asked if we could come back for our mattress because we didn't think it could fit in the U-Haul and because our son was crying nonstop... but he said no. So we spent another hour rearranging things until it could fit, while my son was very upset no matter how much I tried to calm and comfort him. He needed to nap and that wasn't possible at the time.

Afterwards my sons dad asks him for the money and he says he will send it right now on cashapp.

We waited for hours and tried contacting him but he completely ignored us. We had planned to use the money for an apartment we found, but without that money we lost that apartment.

Matt and Nancy now have the apartment on Facebook for rent.. even though he told us that there was someone that wanted it and that is why I had to get out.

So with no place to go, all my money spent, I am now homeless and living out of my car. My tank is on E so I can't drive very far.
I have tried contacting over 20 homeless shelters/women's shelters. But there is no room in any of them. We have no place to go. I have been suffering with severe postpartum depression since my son was born, and just when I thought things were looking up.. this happened. I feel like a horrible parent, I feel so dumb for allowing myself to be conned. I have now found myself in a very very dark place and I honestly just hope that I can make it out alive. I ran out of formula yesterday for him and have been trying to contact charities for help all day today. I hate to say it but I am extremely depressed and suicidal. I don't know what to do but I can't stop crying. If anyone knows where I can get help, I am now in the Washington PA area. That is where the apartment was I was supposed to rent.

I will try to attach receipts for all information stated. I have pictures of the apartment before and after move in aswell. I am new to Reddit.

Board Games

It's a longshot since it's such a nice hobby, but I'm looking for anyone else here that plays board games. Scythe, Wingspan, Tiny Epic series, etc.

I was gifted Frosthaven for my birthday and when I lived in FL, I hosted weekly games with my friends for it's predecessor Gloomhaven and that campaign lasted over two years! Well I'm not in FL anymore but would love to host a weekly Frosthaven night here in Woodsdale.

I'm also up to bringing shorter games with me to public spaces to meet more of you (if you're out there).

Driving from Pittsburgh to Wheeling

Hello everyone, I am a relatively new driver and will be in Wheeling for a conference in October. I'll have to rent a vehicle and drive from Pittsburgh Airport. I was wondering how the drive will be like, is it a drive a new driver will be comfortable navigating. This will be my first time driving outside new mexico. So I don't really know what to expect

I'll appreciate any comments or feedback

East Wheeling 14 point Buck

I head into work before dawn and 2 days last week I saw the same 14 point buck in the vicinity of Neely’s.

He was just standing on Wood st with another smaller buck. I stopped my car about 15 feet from him to count his point

He has a nice thick symmetrical rack, but is a smaller bodied WV deer.

Relocating from New Orleans

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of relocating from New Orleans to Wheeling. I have a few questions if anyone cares to answer.

First, and most important, I work from home/ do online gaming and need a fast internet. How good is the internet in Wheeling? Does one provider service the area and have a monopoly or are there multiple providers?

Second, I've lived in the south all of my life. How bad are the winters in WV? I'm honestly more terrified of snow than any hurricane.

Third, are there plenty of Uber drivers there? I haven't needed a car in so long that I'm not sure I want to get another anytime soon. How does the delivery (Uber eats, Walmart delivery) work out? This may seem like an odd question. I just want to be sure they are available.

Lastly, how are kid activities? I have done some research and seen a small zoo. If you grew up here, did you like it?

Thank you in advance for all of the answers. 😁
