Time Travel: Restaurant in Main Street Site of Current Dairy Queen in 1987 and Jerry West on Campus

By Dick Duez on August 02, 2020 from History Blog

This is the building that currently houses the Main Street Dairy Queen. This photo is from 1987, and at the time the location was home to T&L Hot Dogs. T&L still has a location on Main Street today.
This photo from the West Virginia & Regional History Center, shows a young Jerry West, right and teammate Willie Akers in Morgantown. Other details of the photo are not known.
 
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 dick.do@citynet.net.
