Empty Buildings.

At the top of Wheeling Hill, near the plaque commemorating McCulloch's leap and the statue erected by the Kiwanis Club to commemorate the Indians who once lived here - the same Indians who were killed or defeated and driven from the Ohio Valley by military men like McCulloch - there is a small stand of buildings.

The Old Windmill Pub has been empty for a few years and the property is for sale. Four or five houses sit next to it. Some have boarded-up windows and are vacant; the others look rundown and tired. They all face a row of garages that have all but collapsed off their pillar foundations and tumbled down the hill on which they're built.
