One day we’ll all just be old faces in photos—quiet, a little blurry, like ghosts stuck in someone’s memory. Frozen there, long after the flash is gone.

The airplane shown on the drive-in screen wasn’t actually projected that night; he chose it deliberately as a symbol of contrast between the future (aviation) and a fading past (steam trains). ⚠️𝑫𝑰𝑺𝑪𝑳𝑨𝑰𝑴𝑬𝑹: 𝑳𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝑼𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆: 𝑼𝒏𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏.

Reaganism didn't help War
Neither Bush made a difference in Iaeger
Clinton's 3rd Way didn't uplift Kimball
Obama's Hope & Change passed Gary by
Biden's infation reduction kept Keystone reduced
Trump & MAGA don't care a lick about Welch

McDowell County, WV, gives lie to partisan politics

I've seen my fair share of questionables, but Iaeger and Panther, WV just seemed so left behind by society.

Up WV 80 in McDowell County sits Iaeger — a town that looks, in Bryan's words, like a thriving community in the middle of the Walking Dead.

I ruined SoCo by switching to 100 proof SoCo. Then I switched to Jaeger because 20 year old Jon was not known for good decisions. Obviously.

I could drink SoCo right now, but I’d have to leave the room if I so much as smelled Iaeger.

I looked at WV and I was like Iaeger? That's hard to pronounce? It's pronounced "yay-ger" Like Iago but with less emphasis. More people would have trouble pronouncing Matewan (Mate-wan) or Kanahwa (can-awe-wa). I've heard people screw those two up badly lol

'Hotshot Eastbound, Iaeger, West Virginia' July 1957, by O. Winston Link.

I cannot believe the skill set in this photo: night photography, shot in the 1950s, the silver screen is in focus and all the foreground cars are in focus AND the moving train is in focus. 🤯
