Off the Beaten Path

1 week ago | morgantownmag.com | Laney Eichelberger

The Morgantown area truly has something for everyone. Whether you’re a dog parent on a summer stroll or a connoisseur of fine cigars, Motown’s got you covered. Thanks to Visit Mountaineer Country Convention and Visitors Bureau (VMC) and partners, it’s also becoming a prime location for cyclists to gear up for their next wild and wonderful joyride.
Suntanned Skin and Sticky Fingers

A few years ago, Mateo Martinez and his family—his mother, father, brother, and sister—stumbled upon gold during a trip to Virginia. It wasn’t the precious metal, but rather a quirky aquatic activity: hydrobiking. After watching his younger siblings manage the pedal-powered, pontoon-outfitted water bicycles effortlessly, Martinez knew hydrobikes would be a hit with riverfront Morgantown’s adventurous residents.

Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia has provided refuge for more than 10,000 unwanted, abandoned, and abused animals since 1999. But after a quarter century of sheltering and re-homing pets, the operation has outgrown its facility. “We are just constantly busting at the seams with new animals,” says Shelter Coordinator Katie Short.

335 High Street may not seem like much from the outside—a stout brick building painted black, with a tucked-away alleyway entrance marked by vibrant posters and a cheery rainbow fence. These pops of color hint at what lies behind its innocuous silver doors: more than 30 years and counting of LGBTQ+ art, joy, and connection. The building’s legacy as a home for Morgantown’s LGBTQ+ community began in the 1990s, when its loyal patrons knew it as The Class Act.

More than 5,000 locals and out-of-towners alike will be scouring the nooks and crannies of north-central West Virginia for treasure this weekend. They’re not pirates—they’re geocachers, and they’re participating in the country’s largest geocaching event: Wild and Wonderful GeoWoodstock XXI. Geocaching isn’t unlike treasure hunting. After downloading the Geocaching app, players use coordinates, clues, and old-fashioned curiosity to track down hidden containers: geocaches.

Maybe you’ve been to Philadelphia. Maybe you think you know cheesesteaks. But if your idea of them has anything at all to do with Cheese Whiz, Philadelphia native Heather Rau would like a word. She learned about them at Chink’s Steaks, the legendary steak shop in her family’s neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia. “When someone would come in and ask Chink for Cheese Whiz, he wouldn’t even look at them,” says Rau.
