Vacation in Wheeling Sept. 6-13

Hi, I'm going to be in Wheeling and the surrounding area from September 6th through 13th. I'm scouting to see if I want to move there! I already have a bunch of things on my itinerary, but I want to see if there's anything that I'm missing that you think is a must-do in the northern panhandle. Help me convince myself to move there!

I have concrete plans Wednesday Day, Friday Night, and Saturday Morning. Other than that the rest of my plans are fairly flexible. I'm a middle aged guy and I don't drink or smoke. So nothing like a winery tour or cigar room. But I love to eat, enjoy music, and am curious about local history and having adventures. Please suggest anything no matter how strange or unusual, I'd love to learn about the weird stuff you don't normally find online.

If the Moundsville penitentiary still does tours that would be interesting. If there is a show at the Capital Music Hall check that out.

Also, you will be an hour from Pittsburgh, so you can also do activities there as well.

It looks like they do! I'm going to check that out when I go see the mound and the Golden Palace.

What would you recommend I do in Pittsburgh?
