This building is absolutely amazing! The tour guides are informative and friendly and aren't afraid to tell you about the prisons dark history. You can even get locked in a cell!

The river front is a peaceful walk along, you guessed it, the river, which is impressively wide and separates Ohio from West Virginia. It also features two impressive bridges and muraled flood walls

When I saw this beautiful theater it was locked up tight and for sale, but the front marquis is no less beautiful and definitely makes for a great photo.
