For years, many from Bridgeport and beyond would unwind on Main Street's Exciting Irene's located on Main Street. This photo was taken in 1986 and it has since had many operations in its place. There is currently a fitness business there. Feel free to share your memories below.

 

It's the middle of fairs and festival season and the Strawberry Festival is one that has been going on for decades. Here's a look back to 1976 with Miss Ohio and Miss Pennsylvania being escorted through Buckhannon.
