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. In Then Now: Wheeling author Se�n 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.

Some of the now pictures reflect places and things that no longer exist as of 2016. The main reason I didnt rate it higher was the lack of color photos. Naturally. I expected the "Then" photos to be in bw. but the cover implied that the "Now" photos would be in color. They are not. with the exception of the one on the cover. Particularly since some of the "Now" photos have already sequed into "Then". it would be a lot easier to place the locations if they were in color.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good old PacificaBy TerriLove this book. Its so interesting and the pictures...WOW. I was born 1964 and live in Pacifica from then to when i was early to mid 20s. I never thought of how Pacifica use to look. I was such a trip to see the pics with hardly any buildings no road. I gave this book as gifts to family members.
