This week's City Face is a Bridgeport High School track and football mom, massage therapist and big fan of her hometown. Meet Naomi Smith. 
 
How long have you lived in Bridgeport? I’ve lived in Bridgeport for 10 years. We came here for my husband's job.
 
Tell me about your family ... Jeremy and I have been married for 21 years. We have two kids. McKenna Smith who is a junior at WVU in Occupational Therapy and also on the WVU track team. Elijah Smith who is a senior at BHS, on the football team and plans to attend WVU in the Fall.
 
Do you have any pets? We have a kitten we just adopted in September. His name is Django. After Elijah's season-ending injury during football, he insisted he need a pet to help him through surgery.
 
Where do you work and what do you do there? I am a massage therapist at Tuscan Sun Spa!
 
What do you like to do in your spare time? Most of my time over the past years have been spent at soccer games, football games or track meets. But I also enjoy traveling, going to the gym and spending time with friends and family!
 
What is your favorite Bridgeport spot? Wayne Jamison Field where I have enjoyed watching McKenna's track meets and Elijah's football games.
 
What do you like about our city? I love the smalltown atmosphere. It’s very family oriented. The schools are fantastic. I am thankful we got to raise our kids here.
 
Do you have a favorite city event? I’ve enjoyed watching the homecoming parade every year. The floats are always so cool and the candy. So much candy.
 
What is your favorite spot outside of Bridgeport? Morgantown - tailgating and going to WVU football games.
 
What about outside of West Virginia? Cancun Mexico. It's bsolutely beautiful.
 
What are  your favorite foods, color, type of music? My favorite food is everything lol. My favorite restaurant is Cody's for brunch.I like black everything. I love all kinds of music, but country is probably my favorite.
 
Tell me about one of  your favorite memories... My whole family going to Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh. My grandma would pack a cooler of snacks and gallons of Koolaide. We would eat before we went into the park, close the park down and eat the rest on the way home. We made the trip every single summer.
 
Anything you want to add, maybe a fun fact about you? I’m obsessed with the movie "Elf." I watch it all year long and about 1000 times in December.
