New deli brings visitors, optimism and economic hope to Cumberland
CUMBERLAND – Heather Oliver of Birmingham recently came home for a visit. She and her family tried the newly opened Dragline Deli & Cafe, where the signature sandwich highlights the area's mining heritage. Operated at Mayor Bryan Prater and his wife Susie, the deli is part of a bigger 10-year plan to revitalize the village. Big Muskie makings The Dragline's flagship sandwich is called the Big Muskie, an ode to the strip-mining history in the area and the massive dragline excavator. It's a thick slab of fried bologna on a hoagie bun with American cheese, onions and sweet pickles. "I knew the deli was opening – (my) family sends me updates – so I saw the menu beforehand. The fried bologna sandwich sounded interesting," Heather told the TR. More: Floods, elephants and five rebuilds. Tales from Zanesville’s Y Bridge She had never had fried bologna, but said, "If they're going to make it their namesake sandwich, I figure I'd better try it. "As a first-time experience, it was good," she revealed. "Also, I thought it was really interesting to contrast the cold onions and the (bread and) butter pickles. I thought it paired well against the fried meat." She would

Brewing legacy. Blockhouse Coffee honors family, history and community
ZANESVILLE – The aroma of blueberry filling and pecan pies quickly lifted through the air of the newly opened Blockhouse Coffee Company on State Street. Flour was spread across a table. A bowl of dough and a rolling pin sat at the ready. Containers of strawberries and black raspberries rested on the counter. Four sisters toiled away in the coffee shop's back kitchen. Emmy Clayton decorated berry tarts, while Lynn Burke worked on mini pies across the room. Linda Cromwell and Becky Mayle handled cinnamon rolls. The four are the daughters of Lizzie Norman, a renowned pie baker from Zanesville, they said, and are collectively known as Lizzie's Girls. They're trying to keep their mother's legacy alive, and, in doing so, they're also the masterminds behind Blockhouse's homemade desserts. The sisters have been responsible for some of its most popular items, noted co-owner Melissa Cromwell, also Linda's daughter-in-law, which include coconut cream and blueberry pies.
