"The first time I met Tony, he was reading a magazine—The Racing Pigeon—sitting on his back stoop in the afternoon sun. It wasn’t late, maybe two or two-thirty, but on this side of the river, the sun goes down early in November. He was, it appeared to me, trying to soak up as much of it as he could in the dying days of autumn. As it turned out, Tony spent most of his time on that stoop, but I wasn’t to know that at the time. Hidden from the street by the Kudzu vines, we talked for almost two hours. We spoke about his past, the history of the town, pottery-making and pigeon-racing. He spoke with a mixture of nostalgia, resignation and pride. Some of the stories he told me I knew were bullshit. Some of the stories he told me he knew were bullshit. It didn’t matter." —David Bernstein

 

The upper Ohio River Valley has a long history of people making things from its dirt. With a low iron content and great plasticity, the clay of the region has been mined and fired to make everything from bricks to colorful fiestaware. At the beginning of the twentieth century, so much pottery came out of the region that it was touted as the “pottery capital of the world.”  Yet that boosterism told only part of the story. As with many towns in what is now America’s Rust Belt, the glory days of manufacturing were never quite as robust as they are remembered to be. And here, where industry intersects with Appalachian culture, the veins of history can be particularly difficult to isolate.

Walker's Vein  combines color photographs of this region with brief texts that describe a single historical narrative from multiple perspectives. This approach provides a visual exploration of the towns, people, and topography of the region, but is also a statement on how memory and myth converge to create the truth of place and community. The viewer is not told if the people he quotes are real or fictional, or the specific geographic locations of the real-life towns he photographs. The photographs and short interrelated texts tell a history of Walker’s people, set against both pastoral and industrial landscapes, and their relationship to a sense of place.

David Bernstein is a photographer, a trained historian, and a lover of cartography.

Great chew toy for large dogs
Size: X-Large
We had this before but it was brown. The green is easier to see on the floor so we don’t step on it. It’s worse than stepping on a Lego! Our Goldador, Bailey, loves it.

Fantastic bone for my Lab!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: XL - 2 Pack
My chocolate lab loves these!! He is not an aggressive chewer, and so they last a while. I’ve bought them numerous times and keep them on hand. Love that it’s safe for them to digest. Bacon flavor is his favorite. They don’t stink at all (some other brands do), and they don’t make a mess. Fantastic bone for my boy :-)

Fabulous Lasting Chew Bone
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Large - 3 Pack
I can no longer get the Deerhorns they loved, so I have been buying these. They are so excited when I open a new package and give it to them. They like all sizes. They place their feet on the handles and hold it, making it easier for them to chew on them. They are a little less expensive if I visit a local Walmart store. The problem is that they are often out or not stocked.
