Take A Valentine’s Trip To Alderson
If
you
are
looking
for
something
unique
to
do
with
your
sweetheart
on
Valentine’s
Day,
February
14,
consider
a
trip
to
Alderson.
To
walk
off
future
calories,
park
at
the
Visitors
Center
and
stroll
across
the
Alderson
Memorial
Bridge.
The
view
up
and
down
the
Greenbrier
River
is
great
any
time
of
year.
Pass
Alderson
Alumni
Park,
cross
the
railroads
tracks
with
caution,
and
take
in
the
view
of
Alderson’s
Historic
Business
District.
It
is
anchored
by
the
Historic
1896
C&O
Depot
painted
bright
orange
and
trimmed
with
maroon—the
colors
of
the
C&O
railroad
in
1896.
Continue
up
the
hill
and
across
the
new
bridge
where
the Big Wheel Restaurant will be located on your left.
The
Big
Wheel
is
offering
a
“Sweetheart
Special”
dinner
of
your
choice
of
a
10-inch
ribeye
steak
or
pan
fried
trout
or
a
bone-in
sirloin
pork
chop.
The
entrée
will
come
with
your
choice
of
potato,
salad
bar,
and
a
roll.
Dessert
will
be
your
choice
of
red
velvet
cake,
or
hot
fudge
cake
or
a
strawberry
banana
split
sundae
with
whipped
cream
and
sprinkles.
Two
of
these
special
dinners
are
available
for
$29.95.
No
reservations are needed.
If
those
menu
choices
are
not
for
you,
continue
up
Riverview
Avenue
to
the
Riverview
Café
where
you
can
start
your
dinner
off
with
a
house
salad
then
choose
an

Ribeye
Roast
for
$24.95
or
Chicken
Cordon
Bleu
for
$19.95.
Both
come
with
twice
baked
potato,
green
beans
and
homemade
roll.
Finish
off
with
a
delicious
dessert
of
your
choice:
peanut
butter
pie
or
a
hot
fudge
sundae
brownie
or
chocolate
lasagna.
Reservations
are
necessary
for
these
special
meals
so
call

the

Terri
James,
an
owner
of
the
Riverview
Café,
said,
“We
really
enjoyed
serving
our

a
special
meal
on
New
Year’s
Eve
and

excited
about
our
meals
for
Valentine’s
Day.
Please

Cross
North
Monroe
Street,
walk
one
more
block,
and
you
will
be
back
at
your
car
at
the
Visitors
Center.
If
your
meal
was
early,
you
might
want
to
walk
out
on
the
Alderson
Memorial
Bridge
one
more
time
and
watch the sunset.
