Frank Dunnigan, WNP member and columnist. -
In the fall of 2008, WNP founders Woody LaBounty and David Gallagher asked if I would be interested in writing a series of articles on local history/folklore and thus, Streetwise was born, making its debut as a monthly column in January of 2009. I’m grateful to have been given this opportunity, and also happy that Woody agreed to loan me the column’s name one that he had been using for many of his own WNP articles dating back to the late 1990s.
Now, after 8+ years, the calendar tells me that Streetwise is reaching its 100th column a good time to take a look back to see where we have been.
