<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The change to Bluefield Virginia happened before I was born, but I seem to recall that the idea was to see the two as "twin cities" and the change was celebrated with a "marriage ceremony" at the state line on Bluefield Avenue. Interestingly, when I was a boy, there was a city bus line entitled "West Graham." So we all knew that Bluefield Virginia was still Graham.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jm Nichols</div><div><br></div>
