When Wheeling got slots, it turned their horrible greyhound racing facility into one of the best in the country, with the best quality dogs, best trainers, and biggest slot-engorged purses, and now is A rated all the way. Local economy in Wheeling benefitted greatly from that, and is still doing so today.
