Time Travel: West Philadelphia Business Hot Spot and Police Patrol in Glen Elk Decades ago in Clarksburg

By Dick Duez on May 16, 2021 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com

Anyone remember when this West Philadelphia Avenue buiding housed Dairy Mart as is shown in what is believed to be an early 1980s photo? Anyone remember it as Helmick's Market? And today is home to the Greer Law Offices. Feel free to share any memories of this building below.
If the man does not look familiar, the intersection should. It is in the Glen Elk section of Clarksburg and the Mission would be located to the left and out of view. The photo is believed to show a Clarksburg Police Officer named Frank Lepon. If you have any information to help with this photo, please comment below.
 
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 dickdo@citynet.net.
