Emergency Contacts:
- dial "911" All major life threatening. Emergencies.
Dealers (audio equipment):
- Look & Listen, good guys, knowledgeable, decent service. Ask for Bryan for tech,
Matt if you want a better price. The owner, Mike, is a great guy with a ton of (almost)
useless info. Watch out if he were still installing (though I think he forgot how in the
late 80s).
Local laws:: Any farm animal over 40lbs
is fair game.
- Alcohol: Pretty much anything you
want. Dont be an idiot in public.
- Sound ordinances: Its ok to
boom, but be considerate
- hydraulics: I dont think
theyre legal in WV. I also dont think the police here would even know what was
going on. The rule here is if you have an inspection sticker, youre legal.
- tint: 35% is legal, but you
wont be bothered for darker unless youre an idiot. I have 5%.
- speed: You can get it at
several of the bars and on a few street corners. Oh, speed limits? 5 10 over is
safe, like above, dont be an idiot.
Lodging:
- Hampton Inn, Get a phone book, its easy to find.
McClure House, Get a phone book, its easy to find.
Camping info:
- Just pick any side road. Beware of angry farmers, however. (check with Carey on this
one)
Entertainment:
- Does cow-tipping count? There are a few decent bars. I usually go to Pittsburgh,
PA for anything upper-class.
Radio stations and formats:
105.5-classic rock
98.7 country
102.5 wdve classic--from Pittsburgh
105.9 alternative--from Pittsburgh
Attractions:
- Minor league hockey, The Wheeling Nailers
Malls:
- Closest are either in St. Clairsville, 20 minutes west on I70 or Washington, PA, 30
minutes East.
TiTTy bars/Comedy clubs:
- Jills Lounge ( http://www.jillslounge.com
), Godfathers (not sure its URL), and then we have The Evergreen Health Spa, nice if
you want a massage, but its busted every 6 months or so for prostitution. No need
for a comedy club, its a joke just living here.
