Then and Now — Wheeling

The convergence of the Ohio River, the National Road, a remarkable bridge, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad transformed Wheeling into a transportation hub. Fed by an influx of immigrant labor, the city prospered, adding industrial muscle. But global economic changes brought the machine to a sudden halt. Wheeling author Sean Duffy and photographer Paul Rinkes explore a city still recovering from that trauma, a city with a proud past and an uncertain but hopeful future.

Waldenbooks

We had a very nice setting at Waldenbooks and a very cordial reception. Many people stopped to flip through Wheeling Then and Now and comments were favorable.

Up Next: YE OLDE ALPHA!!

Friday, November 26, 1-3.

Paul will be in town. Should be great fun. Stop by. Have lunch, buy the book, meet the moose (he's in the book), buy an Alpha gift certificate--make someone who loves and misses Wheeling happy this Christmas.
