Images of America: Rock Springs Park also got a recent mention on Brian Butko's "News Along the Lincoln Highway" blog. He mentions the park's location along the Lincoln Highway when the transcontinental highway was rerouted through Chester, West Virginia.

Just my little bit of familiarity with the Lincoln Highway makes this a great photo — and makes me nostalgic for what was lost.
Thanks Brian! It's hard to imagine how the park fit into that little corner of Chester as it looks now.
Of course you're familiar with the World's Largest Teapot and the three LH markers along 3rd Street, Virginia Avenue, and California Avenue. It was a rite of passage to be tall enough to leap frog the one at the end of my street.
