Where Wheeling hosts use lighting
Wheeling runs along the Des Plaines River, with a historic downtown on Milwaukee Avenue and a stretch of restaurants known locally as Restaurant Row. Dundee Road and Palatine Road cross the village, the Metra North Central Service stops in the village, and Chicago Executive Airport lies within its borders. Downtown Wheeling’s Milwaukee Avenue corridor offers a walkable dining scene and a river trail nearby.
