'Bloomington Fading' Project Documents City's Changes

Ever wonder what Rogers Street looked like in the early 20th Century?  Or what business occupied T.I.S. Books in the 1930s?

This week on Noon Edition, we’ll talk with the creators of the Bloomington Fading project, Derek Richey and Jennifer Sommer-Richey, about how the city has changed through the years. Their Facebook page juxtaposes historical photos with present day images, and they’ve just authored a book of their findings, Bloomington Then And Now.

Join us Friday at 12 p.m for our conversation. You can visit this site to be part of our live chat, follow us on Twitter  @NoonEdition, or join us on the air by calling in at  812-855-0811 or 1-877-285-WFIU.
