Time Travel: Going Back to 1995 BHS Advertisement and Visiting Downtown Welch 50-Plus Years Ago

By Dick Duez on April 19, 2020 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com

Anyone look familiar? This is an advertisement that ran in the 1995 Bridgeport High School Ki-Cu-Wa Yearbook for the Innovations Hair Salon. Pictured are Sandra Madia, Tonye Hurd, Sherri Rock, Jennifer Leyh, and Carrie Deboard.
This is downtown Welch in McDowell County in a photo that dates back to 1969. Does anyone see anything they remember from that time period? Comments on both pictures can be made below.
