Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, January 16, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
J.R. and Linda Mason have purchased the building south of Railroad Park and are remodeling it for a party place called the Center on Central.

Old-timers will recall the one story structure at 111 Central Ave. as Hal and Jean's Restaurant, built by Hal and Jean VanAtta in 1962, a time when Ada had few eating-out places. Twenty years later, the restaurant was purchased by the N Men's Association and used for Thursday night bingo and as a rental place for parties.

Bingo will resume at Center in Central every Thursday beginning on Feb. 2, supporting the Ada Music Boosters, Ada-Liberty Fire Department, and Lions Club.
