The Wheeling Ex-Patriot

Do you call Wheeling, WV home, but currently live somewhere else?  If yes, we here at Weelunk.com consider you an “Ex-Pat”.   Are you home now, visiting for Thanksgiving Break?  If yes, you probably are thinking, “Good to be home again, but I’ll soon be ready to return to the cooler place where I now reside, complete with Thai Restaurants and Dog Parks.”

Not so fast, my friend.

Here is the ultimate guide for Wheeling Ex-Pats on things to do, see and think about these days, that might just maybe , potentially, quite possibly have you start thinking to yourself, “Hey – I could actually live here”.
