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 80’s).

Local laws:: Any farm animal over 40lbs is fair game.

  • Alcohol:  Pretty much anything you want. Don’t be an idiot in public.
  • Sound ordinances:   It’s ok to boom, but be considerate
  • hydraulics:   I don’t think they’re legal in WV. I also don’t think the police here would even know what was going on. The rule here is if you have an inspection sticker, you’re legal.
  • tint:   35% is legal, but you won’t be bothered for darker unless you’re 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, don’t be an idiot.

Lodging:

  • Hampton Inn, Get a phone book, it’s easy to find.
  • McClure House, Get a phone book, it’s 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:

  • 107.5-classic rock
  • 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:

  • Jill’s Lounge ( http://www.jillslounge.com ), Godfathers (not sure it’s URL), and then we have The Evergreen Health Spa, nice if you want a massage, but it’s busted every 6 months or so for prostitution. No need for a comedy club, it’s a joke just living here.

Links to local (city) websites for more info:

  • stay tuned.
