Time Travel: City Youth All Star Soccer and 1912 Clarksburg Water Street Scene
By Dick Duez on September 21, 2014 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com
For the second straight week, our friend Crystal Camp has provided us with another youth all-star look back. This, she believes, is a youth soccer all star team from the mid-1980s, which would have been right around the time soccer got its start at the prep level at the high school. Who do you know about this team that played its games on the property that now houses Urse Honda.
This photo isn't part of a car show. Rather, it's more than 100 years old and is along Water Street in Clarksburg. The photo dates from 1912 and the building, which eventually became a Buick garage, has since been demolished on what is now E.B. Saunders Way.
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 grinder12@frontier.com.
