Maybe? Just for one year? Following - maybe - the completion of the downtown streetscape, can we consider returning the Undo’s Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival to Market Street between 11th and 14th streets? Back to where it all began in 1983?

Remember? The main stage was on one side of 12th Street and Undo’s sit-down dining was on the other?

He was a U.S. Navy veteran from Charles Town. After serving his country, he went to work for the federal government. He saved his money, invested it wisely, and accumulated enough to enjoy retirement. But he was lonely and so he passed his time at the local American Legion to be around other people.
