Time Travel: Bridgeport High School 1997 Freshman Hoops and a Visit to 1967 Main Street in Clarksburg
By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on October 27, 2024 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com
This week's Time Travel blog would like to give a shout out to Ryan Post who was kind enough to loan us this 1996-97 Bridgeport High School freshman basketball team photo that was coached by the late James Belcastro, back row, far right. So who else do you know? Please put the names in the comment section below and submit it for all of our readers if you can help out.
See any businesses you recognize in this photo heading down Main Street in Clarksburg toward what was then Water Street and now E.B. Saunders Way? The Stonewall Jackson Hotel can be seen in the background and a Hertz Rent-a-Car can be seen to the far left of the photo. Can anyone identify the small business with the phone booth in front of it or any other businesses in this 1966 photo.
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, 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 dickdo@citynet.net
