Thanks to local freelance reporter Joshua Schipper, the city's rich heritage can be enjoyed block by block, in his new book called Crossroads of History: Paving through Fort Wayne's Streets. Citing his own curiosity as a youth growing up on the east side of town as the genesis for his adventure, Schipper readily admits that unearthing the transcription of a speech made by Angus C. McCoy in 1945 at the annual Quest Club meeting was the catalyst that would eventually give form to his own studies. For a glimpse at the exact route this adventure took, WBOI's Julia Meek invited Joshua into the studio to discuss his extensive research process as well as the format he embraced, and where he hopes that the resulting "journey through time" will lead its readers.
