The long wait is almost over for the writers, dreamers, time-wasters and schemers who have been without a hang-out since Ada’s only coffee shop, Northern On Main, closed for good last May.  Its replacement, Cosi, is slated to open in early August, according to officials at Ohio Northern University.  

The "fast-casual" restaurant chain has 98 locations, primarily in New York City, with three in Columbus.  This would be the only Cosi in northwestern Ohio.

Liberty National Bank's Project Warmth: a great winter project in the summer

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, July 25, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
When it's nearly 90 degrees outside (in the shade), perhaps it's a good time to think about Project Warmth. Everyone is talking about the extended heat spell, but those temperatures won't be around in the winter.

Here, Corsie Arn, operations manager of the Ada branch of Liberty National Bank, shows the display of raffle items for Project Warmth.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and may be purchased at the bank.
Bank employees created the fundraiser in 1990 to help local children stay warm during the winter.

Cinderella enchants youngsters during visit to Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, July 25, 2016

Cinderella's visit to Ada on Saturday was a huge hit with youngsters 10 and under. (And with their parents who snapped lots of photos.)

Some youngsters were so enthrauled they couldn't speak. Others wanted to know where the prince was.

Cinderella has answers for every question and is just as charming in person as she is on the movie screen.

Her visit to Ada was during the Streamline Insurance Solutions and Wine and Design grand opening at 220 N. Main St. Ada.

Owners are Mark Southward, his daughter, Amanda Morrison, and Amanda’s husband Joe Morrison, who are from the Hardin Northern area.
