This is Bridgeport business owner Bob Riggs during his youth. The photo, courtesy of Mike Riggs, shows Bob standing beside his parent's home at the intersection of Rivendell Avenue and Johnson Avenue looking toward what would eventually become a housing development by Ray Blake. In the backgroun, the top of the hill is now Point of View. The exact date of this photo is unknown. 

For years, St. James Catholic Church in the North View section of Clarksburg was home to its own school. Shown here is a class of eighth grade students during their graduation day. The photo was posted by Marcel Malfregeot on the North View 4 Life Facebook page.
