"The first time I met Tony, he was reading a magazine—The Racing Pigeon—sitting on his back stoop in the afternoon sun. It wasn’t late, maybe two or two-thirty, but on this side of the river, the sun goes down early in November. He was, it appeared to me, trying to soak up as much of it as he could in the dying days of autumn. As it turned out, Tony spent most of his time on that stoop, but I wasn’t to know that at the time. Hidden from the street by the Kudzu vines, we talked for almost two hours. We spoke about his past, the history of the town, pottery-making and pigeon-racing. He spoke with a mixture of nostalgia, resignation and pride. Some of the stories he told me I knew were bullshit. Some of the stories he told me he knew were bullshit. It didn’t matter." —David Bernstein

 

The upper Ohio River Valley has a long history of people making things from its dirt. With a low iron content and great plasticity, the clay of the region has been mined and fired to make everything from bricks to colorful fiestaware. At the beginning of the twentieth century, so much pottery came out of the region that it was touted as the “pottery capital of the world.”  Yet that boosterism told only part of the story. As with many towns in what is now America’s Rust Belt, the glory days of manufacturing were never quite as robust as they are remembered to be. And here, where industry intersects with Appalachian culture, the veins of history can be particularly difficult to isolate.

Walker's Vein  combines color photographs of this region with brief texts that describe a single historical narrative from multiple perspectives. This approach provides a visual exploration of the towns, people, and topography of the region, but is also a statement on how memory and myth converge to create the truth of place and community. The viewer is not told if the people he quotes are real or fictional, or the specific geographic locations of the real-life towns he photographs. The photographs and short interrelated texts tell a history of Walker’s people, set against both pastoral and industrial landscapes, and their relationship to a sense of place.

David Bernstein is a photographer, a trained historian, and a lover of cartography.

Arrived earlier than expected and the product seems intact.
It came quicker than I was expecting and it looks like all the pills are there. I only got it yesterday, so I don't know how effective the gum pills are.

Very good for breath but caused some sour mouth
I have dry mouth which makes me prone to bad breath. I’ve experimented with chewing these before bed (after brushing) or in the morning (also after brushing). I tested my breath using a cloth mask and also did “blank” tests on days when I did not use the product. Chewing before bed greatly reduced morning breath but left me with some sour mouth, which makes me worry a bit about tooth decay. I’ve switched to taking in the morning and have been happy with the results.

Lips & mouth sore?
Mouth and lips became sensitive and sore after using this product 2x per day for 3 days. Maybe I’m allergic to one of the ingredients? Don’t know. It’s day 3 of soreness and waiting for it to subside.

Doesn’t work
I’ve tried to for three weeks and I’ve tested and it does t work. I can taste this mint in my mouth and it still smells funky. I’ve had customers and employees tell me my breath smells. I don’t drink coffeee and I brush my teeth for 10mins straight every morning and night and I also use mouth wash and I use three tabs throughout the day and it does nothing for me.
