🎙️ NEW EPISODE — OUT NOW

This one started with a simple question about our house at 4401 Magazine Avenue… and turned into one of the biggest rabbit holes I’ve gone down yet.

Old photographs. WWII Seabee records. Railroad history. Handwritten renovation plans. Property records that don’t quite add up. Family connections I didn’t understand at first. And even the story behind how Magazine Avenue may have gotten its name.

What I thought was going to be an episode about one old Huntington house became a much bigger story about Westmoreland, the people who lived here, and the history hiding in places we pass every day without thinking twice about it.

Some things we were able to prove.
Some things are still a mystery.
And some of the discoveries completely changed the way I look at this house.

If you love local history, old homes, Huntington stories, or a good mystery, this episode is for you.

🎧 The History of 4401 Magazine Avenue
Available now on Tri-State Time Machine.

And if you or your family remember the Clements family, Lucille Sims Clements, or this part of Magazine Avenue years ago — I would LOVE to hear from you. 🏠❤️

Tomorrow morning’s episode is a little different.

I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out the history of our house on Magazine Avenue… and somehow ended up in old property records, WWII Seabee stuff, railroad history, family drama, old negatives, renovation plans, and even the reason Magazine Avenue may have gotten its name.

There are still parts I can’t prove, which honestly makes it even more interesting.

If you like old houses, Huntington history, or watching me obsess over something until it becomes a full episode… this one is for you 😂

Every old home has a story—and I think some of Huntington’s best stories may be hiding right inside them.

At Brandon’s birthday party, a conversation with a friend turned to the history of our own home: the people who built it, the families who lived here before us, and the imprint they left on Huntington. It inspired an idea for a future Tri-State Time Machine episode—not only about our home, but about other historic homes throughout the city and the stories held within their walls.

I’d love to hear from you! Do you know of a Huntington home with a unique history? Maybe it was built or owned by someone who helped shape our community. Maybe generations of one family lived there. Maybe its story is well known—or maybe, like ours, it’s one most people have never heard.

Tell me what you know in the comments! Feel free to share old photographs, names, memories, rumors worth researching, or anything that might help uncover the history. If you own or have a connection to one of these homes and would be willing to talk with me for the episode, please let me know—or send the page a private message if you’d rather not share publicly.

Let’s find the stories hiding behind Huntington’s front doors. 🏠🕰️

🎙️ THE TIME MACHINE IS BACK, BABY.

After yet another completely unplanned detour courtesy of ✨life✨, there is officially a BRAND NEW episode of Tri-State Time Machine!

And this time, we’re taking a walk through one of Huntington’s most beloved places…

🌳 RITTER PARK. 🌹

We’re digging into the history of the park, how it came to be, the people and decisions that shaped it, the landmarks we’ve walked past a hundred times without thinking twice, and some of the stories hiding right there in plain sight.

Because Ritter Park isn’t just a park.

It’s been the backdrop for first dates, family pictures, dog walks, sledding adventures, weddings, festivals, childhood memories, heartbreaks, Sunday strolls and generations of Huntingtonians simply doing life.

And, as usual, there’s a whole lot more to its story than you might think.

🎧 The Park That Grew Up With Huntington: The Story of Ritter Park is coming your way!

Thank you for sticking with me when the Time Machine occasionally goes off the rails. 😂 I really do love making this little show and telling the stories of the place we call home.

Love you. Mean it. ❤️

Turns out, my favorite hobby is apparently making Tri-State Time Machine into something I’m really proud of and then disappearing from it every time life starts life-ing. 😂

And boy, has life been LIFE-ING.

Again.

But! Before anyone sends out a search party for me—or officially declares the podcast another piece of lost Tri-State history—I RECORDED THIS WEEK. 🎙️👏

A brand-new episode of Tri-State Time Machine is coming your way very soon, and it felt so damn good to sit back down behind the mic.

Thank you to everyone who continues to listen, follow along, ask when the next episode is coming, and stick around through my completely unhinged release schedule. 😂

I love this little podcast. I love getting to tell the stories of this place we call home. And I really do love all of you who keep letting me do it.

New episode coming soon. ❤️

Love you. Mean it.

I just finished recording a new episode for TSTM…

And I’m not exaggerating when I say I think this may be one of the best conversations I’ve had on this podcast.

This episode digs into Appalachia, Huntington, stereotypes, folklore, history, and why communities like ours deserve to be known for more than their hardest chapters.

I’m listening back now and honestly…

I feel really proud of this one.

If this episode reaches the people I think it will, I truly believe it might be the one that makes new listeners understand what Tri-State Time Machine is all about.

Watch for this one soon.

I can’t wait for you all to hear it. ❤️🎙️
