If you haven't heard of Pokemon GO, consider yourself a hermit. The free app, released just this month in only a few countries, is the most popular game ever in just a few short days.

In fact, you'll find people wandering around Ada, especially in the cool of the evening, trying to find targets, such as the train station, cannon, churches and businesses. There are many targets at ONU.

Here, Steve Cramer and his son, John, of rural Ada, find the Liberty National Bank target. Now they are after the Ada Theatre, which is held by Taurus and Snorlax.

Whether the Cramers defeated the others wasn't known at press time.
