Something else interesting from Saturday's safari ...

Some of you may recall that the pottery that makes Fiesta dinnerware  
in Newell, West Virginia once operated both a trolley line to get  
workers back and forth between the plant in Newell and East  
Liverpool, Ohio, and it also owned a suspension bridge across the  
Ohio River.    If you cross the bridge today and ask for a receipt,  
it is still printed NEWELL BRIDGE AND RAILWAY COMPANY even though no  
one remembers what AND RAILWAY means.

Thank you King Edward for asking for the receipt.

Now remind me where I hid it so I can put it in the right folder?

We think we saw the other surviving artifact: the car barn.
