Time Travel: Grainy, Elusive Photo of Iconic Bridgeport Restaurant and 1940s Full Service Tennerton Gas
By Dick Duez on August 17, 2025 from History Blog
Bridgeport's unofficial historian, and author of this blog, Richard "Dick" Duez has said he has spent 50 years looking for a photo of Andy's Hot Dog shop located just off Route 50 near Oliverio's Ristorante. Although not clear by any means, this is the business shown back in 1963. If anyone has a photo of the business, please email it to the address listed below in the editor's note.
This photo shows Scott's Service Station believed to be in Tennerton in Upshur County from the 1940s. Gas was just 15 cents a gallon and full-service was standard decades ago.
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.
