That's why I'm in Wheeling. It's a bustling industrial town
on the Ohio River that is known as
the City of Lights today. It's original moniker, though,
was far darker. Native Americans called the land
where wheeling sits, "Weelonk" which meant
"A place of the skull." So named due to
the decapitated heads that lined its bank
to ward off those attempting to make
a home here. When the area was eventually
claimed by European settlers, they made
the questionable decision of sticking with
the name "Wheeling." A fitting origin story for a town that
acts as an entryway into the Ohio Valley. So I mean, as far as West
Virginia, have you grown up here? Yeah, I grew up here

the City of Lights today. It's original moniker, though,
