Time Travel: Major League Icon Joins Locals on Main Street and Old Soda Shop in Clarksburg Drug Store

By Dick Duez on October 14, 2018 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com

Anyone know who's pictured here? There are three icons including one worldwide and two local at Oliverio's dinner. To the right is perhaps the greatest baseball player of all time Joe DiMaggio eating in Bridgeport. Feel free to comment below.
Anyone remember when drug stores had soda fountains? One of the last, and shown in this photo, is of Harbert's Drug Store on Fourth Street in Clarksburg. The photo is believed to be from around 1958.
 
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard 
"Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dick.do@frontier.com.
