John McCabe: West Virginia’s History Deserved More Than a Ferris Wheel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I traveled to Marietta, Ohio, about two weeks ago for a girls soccer game between Wheeling Park High School and Marietta High School. (Really good game, by the way. It ended in a 0-0 draw.) I've always enjoyed Marietta and appreciated its place in our nation's history as the first permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory. Outside of Wheeling, it probably has as much historical significance as any city in our wider region. The residents there understand that history -- and, more importantl
John McCabe: Gateway Center in Wheeling’s Next Step — But Not Its Last (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gov. Patrick Morrisey, during a stop here Tuesday, used that word to describe many of the things he said his administration has been doing over the past 18 months -- including providing a $3.2 million grant for the Wheeling Gateway Center and, just recently, state loan guarantees for the JC Lando Hotel on the waterfront. Foundation. It's an appropriate word for where Wheeling finds itself now, as well. Anyone who has spoken with me understands that I'm impatient when it comes to this city. I wan
John McCabe: A Wakeup Call We Can’t Afford To Miss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's a figure that should concern every single person that cares about children and their futures: for the 2026 school year, 84.5% of all West Virginia public school students are classified as "needy" by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's an alarming statistic. And it doesn't get any better when viewed in the context of our local region. Consider: Ohio County has 85% of its students identified as "needy," Marshall County has 83%, Brooke County is at 85%, Tyler County stands at 88%, Han
John McCabe: The Waterfront’s Next Great Chapter Is Here (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past Tuesday, as about 100 people gathered on the porch at WesBanco Arena to hear details of the planned JC Lando Hotel on Water Street moving into its next phase, I took a few minutes to marvel over just how much the downtown's waterfront has changed since the late 1990s. I still recall one of my earliest stories for these newspapers -- a local downtown businessman and property owner who objected to the Wharf parking garage being removed. Water Street then was primarily a mix of commercial
John McCabe: Wheeling’s Heritage Trail Needs Attention To Reach Potential (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the highlights of working downtown, in my opinion, is the easy access to Wheeling Heritage Port and the Heritage Trail. I estimate that over the past three decades I've logged more than 10,000 miles walking on that trail, either during a quick break, after work or on the weekends. But, sadly, Heritage Trail is not what it once was. A combination of time, invasive plants and a general lack of maintenance -- along with the trash left behind by some of the area's homeless population that uti
