History is Our Mother

Fun Stuff, Gadfly's posts, Then 'n Now 1 Minute

The Gadfly never tires of saying “History is our mother” and never tires of (old) pictures of (old) Bethlehem such as in the work here of Mark Iampietro, John Marquette, William Weiner, Jr., Karen Samuels, Kenneth Raniere, Karol Strelecki, and others, produced locally and by Arcadia Press. The Iampietro and Marquette books are available at Moravian Bookstore, National Museum of Industrial History, ArtsQuest gift store, Bethlehem Visitors Center,  and Domaci, or they may be ordered at marco1114@rcn.com

The Gadfly hopes to regularly feature “Then ‘n Now” pictures of our mother in her old and new poses. Watch this space.
