Where is John Wilson?

by John Wilson

Parker, Amanda and I took the long drive to Parkersburg, WV. This is where Amanda and I grew up.

Parker was a good boy all the way there, and only added about 40 minutes to the nine hour voyage to eat and use the restroom. While I was there I took the opportunity to drive around and take a few pictures in some of the usual spots. Next time I go home I’ll hit up some of the more interesting spots.

Also while I was home, I took advantage of some of the hills around town to get in some good exercise. The pictures directly below show the infamous, and newly renovated, Quincy Hill steps.

Quincy Hill Steps (from the top) – 175 steps total. I ran it three times.

Quincy Hill Steps (from the bottom) – When I was a kid we used to ride our sleds down that hill beside the steps. Someone would have to stand at the bottom to make sure no cars were coming after you took that ramp off the wall. Good times.

This is from the “horse shoe” in front of Parkersburg High School:

Don’t come to Parkersburg without getting thick crust pizza from the “The Pizza Place.” Best pizza in the country.
