While it doesn't compare to larger zoos, the Good Zoo is a great little distraction for the little ones for an afternoon. Kids can easily spend hours wandering from exhibit to exhibit watching the animals that one normally wouldn't associate with Wheeling WV. Even the animals you would associate, the kids love being up close. Feeding the deer is always a treat for the kids, and most would be happy just staying at the barn and feeding the goats or watching the new baby donkey. It's not very justifiable to drive back and forth to Pittsburgh, Cleveland or Columbus all the time for their zoos, so having this small zoo in our 'backyard' is a nice way to spend the afternoon.

don't go to a place that hits animals they groom!
I will never go to this place again. A few years ago we took my dog to them. At one time they were remodeling and working out of the basement of a local vet. We dropped my dog off and came back...
I will never go to this place again. A few years ago we took my dog to them. At one time they were remodeling and working out of the basement of a local vet. We dropped my dog off and came back when they told us he'd be done. He wasn't finished, but close to finished when we got there. They just had a curtain over the door that wasn't fully shut. They had muzzled my dog, which was fine - but when he growled at the employees who were handling him roughly one began hitting my pretty much defenseless dog. From that day we've never returned and tell anyone we can to also avoid this establishment.

I had to get my windshield replaced and called to see if I could get in before inspection was due. They got me in the following morning and were very helpful in making sure my car insurance was taking care of everything but my deductible. The guy doing the work was quick but thorough and I didn't even have that smell that usually comes along with I guess the sealant. I did notice that they billed my insurance based on how long my car was sitting there, not how long they actually worked on the car so if you're paying out of pocket be careful.

Quick to scam you!
I took my car to get inspected by these crooks and they're every bad cliche there is about mechanics. They told me I needed a whole new exhaust system - for $700. I took my car to another mechanic...
I took my car to get inspected by these crooks and they're every bad cliche there is about mechanics. They told me I needed a whole new exhaust system - for $700. I took my car to another mechanic who said my exhaust was fine, I just needed a new tailpipe. . . I think that was about $30? My grandmother used to take her car and everytime she'd take it in to get it fixed, something else would end up messed up. It took us a long time to convince her that she needed to find someone else. Avoid these crooks at all costs.

The Lebanon Bakery is another one of those places that relatively few people know about. They have a great selection, and some pretty unique treats. The sesame twists are worth the trip on their own. They're very filling, and you don't have to worry about feeling guilty about indulging. They taste great, just enough cinnamon flavor and just slightly sweet - perfect. Be sure to grab something to drink, they'll leave your mouth a little dry.

This little gem hidden on 2nd street in Moundsville is pretty unknown outside of Marshall County. It's the kind of place locals love, and love having it as their own secret. They have a great selection of bakery items - especially donuts early in the morning, but the best thing they sell by far is their brownies. Be sure to stock up before they sell out for the day. A thick chewy brownie with a creamy whipped chocolate icing - worth the trek just for that first bite. Their birthday cakes are also incomparable - go for the chocolate cake with white icing, you won't regret it.

Hit and Miss Salon

I've gone to this salon quite a few times and it really seems hit and miss. Some of the stylists are wonderful, some are so-so but I've even been hit and miss with stylists that I thought were wonderful. One visit my cut would be great, the next it was just blah. For the price you pay it should be more predictable. The price is definitely up there when compared to the averages locally. For a good cut, color, style, etc the price is justifiable but when you're only moderately pleased it's just painful to spend that much. If you do go once, and then don't make another appointment for a couple months they'll send out coupons which really help with that exorbitant price.

I've been going to Dr. Lewis for quite a few years and although his office is busy and at times it can be tough getting in, I wouldn't consider switching. He's the absolute best in the area. He and his staff are always pleasant, nice, and do wonderful work. He's great at minimizing, or completely eliminating any pain of uncomfort that accompanies most dental procedures. Like I mentioned, at times it can be tricky getting in, so be sure to schedule regular exams in advance. The office staff are wonderful at finding spaces to make sure that other problems are taken care of quickly regardless of how busy the office is.

A Dr who takes his time with patients

Until I started going to Dr. Bannon, I had no idea how much 'service' I had been missing out on. This guy really takes the time to get to know patients and explain exactly what's happening. Most optometrists rush through all the steps and tell you that you need glasses or you don't. He takes his time, and when the exam is over and sits down with you with diagrams of your eye and explains step by step what he did and why. He's extremely thorough. He will without a doubt be my eye doctor for years to come.
