An old dog learning new tricks from some of the best channels on UA-cam.
I'm Mickey . I grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia, on Wheeling Island, in the middle of the Ohio River.
My idea for this channel: I have so many friends and family who have moved away from the area,
and I would like to give them a place to come, to revisit some of the places that they may have frequented, in "the good old days."
So, if you like my videos, please subscribe and share with others, who you think might enjoy this channel.
And PLEASE give me some ideas for future locations to highlight.

Monarch Stadium

The New Monarch Stadium. I finally got to try out my new camera. I won a Sony RX100 MK4 from Markus Pix. I'm still getting used to it. I think my drone is on it's last legs. The wind blew it into the Wesbanco Arena, a while back, and it hasn't been the same.

We found a new restaurant in Fulton. It's called Pickle's Eatery and Bar. Good food, and a family friendly dining room in the back. Might be a nice place to stop if you want to wait out rush hour traffic.

It won’t let me add a picture. Sorry.
We are in WV now and I did take photos of Peter’s burial marker. Let me see if I can figure out how to add a picture in the comments.
Mickey, I love the professional quality of your videos and the content is amazing. I haven't been to Wheeling in many years and it's wonderful to see what things look like today.
I believe they replaced the handicapped trail. It was there last summer 2023
I am a descendant of Peter Haught I. He is burried in the Tennant Family Cemetery. Do you have any info or pictures of the gravestones?
best captain crunch chicken tenders ever
It's sad that the government and wvu medicine wants to demolish the entire campus 😢
That would make Nimrod Tennant my 4th great-grandfather.
My great-grandfather was Wilford Lewis Tennant his father was Lewis Vanderbilt Tennant. Peter Tennant is my 5th great-grandfather! Hello cousins 😂
Also related. Have to get down there. We must be … fourth, fifth, sixth cousins??
I had my son there . Now they making part of ov a extension of the police station . They are building a new fire station in town too .Putting in new apartment buildings and a parking garage. Wheeling has changed so much over the years .

I have a GF on social media who lives on 400 block of N Front st on the island near a chinese restaurant. Has a boat dock end of her yard. She has sent me beautiful pics of the area. Maybe one day i will get to visit. Tks for the vids
Happy to see a filmmaker making content about my city. Thanks for the hard work in filming, editing and posting this video. The fire truck in the video is Ladder 1, Wheeling FD. And that truck is now in service, on Wheeling Island with Engine 5, as Ladder Company 6. One of two towers in the City's fleet. My channel pays tribute to the men and women of the Wheeling FD and I really enjoyed your video. Thanks again.
Thank you. I subscribed to your channel.. My Uncle John Anders was a Wheeling fireman for most of his life. I think he started on the Island, he was in Warwood for a while, and was a captain at the station inside the 21st Street Garage.
Thank you for making these videos. My wife and I bought a house in wheeling and it will soon be our home.
This was a minor flood. The low south end of Wheeling Island got some water.
Continue being proud of your community that has a lot of nature. Here in Miami Florida wild life natural resources nature is dying because of we the people are overcrowded with each other and trash up everything. I gather up trash left everywhere as I walk
I thank you and appreciate your correct advice answer videos
I lived at the bottom of Wheeling Hill in Fulton
I subscribed and follow you from Miami Florida. I miss Wheeling WV
If there's any place in particular you'd like to see, let me know. It's been a while since I posted (since covid ) and I'd love some ideas.
I thank you and appreciate your videos in great gratitude because I left my hometown after 55 years to find senior employment
nice video ! I went to school with you ! I live in Las Vegas NV !

Been there a few times. Me and a friend got chased by "The White Trucks" at Area 51, near there one time. :)
I worked there for 18 years I really appreciate this video
Definitely would love a trip to this area!
Great video!
Hello. Very nice video. Good work .Have a nice day mate
I’m only 36 but remember going in there for a couple skating parties and a rummage sale. My parents also had their wedding reception there because it was the only place big enough to hold everyone.
Wow, this is super cool. Also, hi uncle Micky
Hello!
Hi again uncle Mickey, I have started my own channel!
Cool!
I used to roller slate, watch rock concerts and WWF wrestling events there. Too bad it burned down and is no more.
I rode the elevators there
Very nice 👍
Thank you. We're really going to miss her. She was very special.
Hey, Focal Point 3000! Nice video with your Sony RX100 Mk4. I'm still trying to win something from Marcus Pix and Cara. I'm hoping that some of your goodluck will rub off on me. 😉 I didn't win a lightweight tripod today. Old heavy one I got. Trying and saving to upgrade. Thanks, & good videos & photos for you.
Thank you. And good luck.
Hi uncle micky I was on youtube so I wanted to say hi it's Matthew
Hello!
@@FocalPoint-xh6bi hi uncle Micky, I got my own UA-cam channel now!
Thank for doing that Mick, that was great. MD
They have some good food
Well, i was at the nailers game the night it burned. During the 1st period we went to get jersey tickets and it smelled like smoke. We took a look and it was a huge inferno. It was so hot in there i was sweating. Came back and we were allowed outside the arena to look and it was collapsed already
Hello my friend I am glad you are doing well! Blessings to you and FULL WATCH!
Very nice. Thanks Mickey!
They should just permanently turn this into a pedestrian-only bridge. It doesn't meet modern bridge standards.
thanks for sharing nice
Thank you for watching. :)
Salt fork is the best place in the world. I spent my summers growing up in that lake as well thank you for sharing parts of my childhood that made it amassing... So much has changed... C waa always or favorite place to shower too.... Going to the top of the hill was the best.
very nice indeed cheers
We would start the night going to the rink to skate, then drive down the road to the Mint many friday and saturday nights.
Jam in like sardines.
Thanks for sharing cheers 🍻
Sad to see this. :-(
Every kid in our town spent every weekend there, in the 60's and 70's.
I enjoyed these Mick. Thanks for doing them.
Thanks Mike.
oh wow, perfect time to get those shots... but I guess they call it the golden hour for several reasons haha
Thanks. Yeah, I got lucky with most of the footage. But for some reason I'm having trouble with some drone footage. I keep getting jittery lines in some of the shots.
@@FocalPoint-xh6bi hmm.. If you're getting jello it could be because you're filming in bright lights, ND filters typically smooths out fast vibrations by slowing down the shutter speed. 👍
@@kVarfpv thanks.
Thanks for sharing cheers
Nice video my friend, I liked how you put this together, I have pressed the big red button and rung the bell.
Thanks.
