Life

Current residents of Wintersville, Ohio enjoy the scenic neighborhoods, friendly people, and small-town atmosphere. Popular hangouts are the Jefferson Country Airport, The Center of Music and Art, Zalenski's restaurant, Wendy's, the Starkdale Presbyterian Church, King's Restaurant, and the Treasure Island Flea Market. High schoolers and graduates now in their early twenties sometimes frequent Cross Creek Park to take advantage of the excellent swing set and basketball courts, as well as hold annual "caveman cookouts" by city tradition.

The town's main route is a four-lane extension of Sunset Boulevard in Steubenville, Ohio which begins at an intersection with Ohio State Route 7 and continues westward. The road reduces to two lanes of Wintersville and merges with U.S. Route 22. The road is dominated by small businesses, fast food restaurants, grocery and drug stores, banks, and other typical business establishments as one might expect to find. Some more unusual establishments include Custom Hobbies and Rocky Road Gym, both providing excellent services.

Although limited statistical information is available, some who live in Wintersville commute to Pittsburgh. The Weirton-Steubenville metropolitan area advertises itself as a suburb of Pittsburgh with a lower cost of living, safer neighborhoods and schools, and an atmosphere of small-town tranquility with major city conveniences.

As a result, each weekday evening at approximately 6PM, the road from Sunset Boulevard in Steubenville to Main Street in Wintersville becomes quite concentrated with traffic. This temporary flux in traffic concentration is probably a result of the life of working in Pittsburgh but living in the suburbs of Steubenville and Wintersville. Agressive policing of roads at this time also contribute to unnecessary and sometimes dangerous delays in traffic.

The town belongs to Indian Creek school district, along with Mingo Junction, Bloomingdale, and surrounding rural areas. The district consistently receives the state's highest ratings for education. Indian Creek High School plays a large part in the community life of Wintersville, especially during football season. Annual plays, concerts, and many service projects involve the general population in student life.

A generally uneventful town, Wintersville is wanting of more community areas. Few public facilities exist and the town has no proper swimming pool, tennis courts, or haunted houses to speak of. The town youth have few recreational options and many businesses complain about "hanging out" as unwarranted loitering. There is some movement to pressure city council toward making improvements, but little progress has been shown for decades.

Controversy

In the summer of 2006, enterprising individuals exploited a loophole in Ohio's gambling laws to establish "skilled gaming" parlors in Wintersville. Though the game units are similar to slot machines, the player stops the electronic reels rather than the machine. Owners and patrons argue this method of play eliminates chance, and therefore gambling, from the activity. Citizens have grudgingly accepted the parlors as benign entertainment thus far, but no one knows how long that patience will hold. In the meantime, managers placate their patrons with complimentary snacks, drinks, and T-shirts.
