St. Clairsville, OH. Feb 2011. Mustapha stops in town for a coffee/urban exploration

Just a typical quiet Ohio town. The downtown shown here is awfully quiet; but there is a huge megamall on the edge of town. Said mall also serves the regional area; which seems to be doing alright. Some coal industry and related employment here. The local power plants are coal fueled.






Old hotel.

Rail tunnel in the distance. Let's go.

Closer..

Whoa..

What a city hall, though! The bikeway tunnel is cool, glad that was preserved.

My reaction too; the City Hall - wow - the rest of the town - meh.

St. Clairsville,Belmont County,Ohio: A neat County Seat...

Mustapha and Everyone: St.Clairsville is the County Seat of Belmont County,Ohio
and the building pictured in pics #5 and 6 is the Belmont County Court House...

County Seats in the US and Canada usually have a large building like this in
the town's central area and it usually will stand out like this one does...
