Yes, I've lived in Parkersburg for 5 years now, and before that I lived in Athens, OH. I've been to the Cool Stop many times! Thanks for accepting my friend request. I didn't even know you were from around here. I just love reading your reviews!
Hi Marne, thank you for the friend request. I saw that you live in Parkersburg? What a small world -- I grew up in Coolville OH and spent SO MUCH of my youth in and around Parkersburg (used to work at the Borders in Grand Central when it first opened!)
