Things certainly have changed in the near four decades since this photo was taken 1982. The athletic fields in question are either completely renovated or, in the case with the Little League field, no longer there. Also no longer there is Johnson Elementary School, which was recently demolished. Photo is courtesy of Mike Corder.

Looking for some items or a bite to eat in 1910 in Harrison County? If so, you may have visited the Lambert Store and Restaurant in Adamsville, close to Shinnston and between that city and Bridgeport. As the sign shows, you could also purchase shoes at the location.
