Dear WVDOH’s Road Pavers:
The City of Wheeling shared the above image yesterday, but it’s not just any photo, now is it?
That’s because, well, YOU DID IT.
The impossible. The unbelievable. The incredible. And even with a giddy giggle that unmistakably emerged from the debts of our depression caused by cruising downtown Wheeling over the past five years. It spawned sheer joy, it was so silky smooth, and, in fact, it’s already a cherished memory we can’t wait to relive over and over and over again.
It was glorious, in fact, and it felt wonderfully normal. It’s already in our collective “Days of History,” and it was, yes, the dream FINALLY came true … although, well, ya know, Market Street is still a nightmare, there’s more than a year until those backward beeps and the glow of orange barrels fade away, and – let’s face it – it’s only a mere matter of time until that first pothole forms along this magnificent Main Street.
And, of course, we’ll let you know when that happens!!
But anyway, you’ve performed the long-awaited miracle because, believe it or not, you’ve made us smile – some even teared up apparently – and we wanted to say, “Thank you”.
XOXOXO,
Downtown Business Owners and the Nearby Neighbors
