Enjoy seeing the then and now photos. I understand the building is owned by a California outfit that leases apartments. Anyone know for sure? What were some of the first floor businesses that you remember?
Ada school announce a public "hot spot" where the public can get online.
As it is important to access reliable, high-speed Internet, the hot spot is located in the school's south parking lot.
According to an announcement on Ada Bulldogs Facebook: We want everyone to stay in their vehicles while accessing the hot spots. Social distancing doesn’t stop in the parking lot.
"To access the network, join the WiFi/SSID: WiFi by Watch and you will be directed to a sign-in page.

What comes down must go up, apparently. Gas prices in Ada this spring feel like one is on a roller coaster with ups, downs and now ups. On March 11 the price per gallon was $2.19. Then on April 24, the price dipped to $1.14. Late last week it headed north and landed at $1.69 per gallon.
It was a very long wait for the Ada school levy results. After it was official, on May 12 the school levy passed by 14 votes.
The delay was caused by the March 17 primary called off the day before the election. The election deadline was then moved to April 28. And, those unofficial results gave the levy a 9-vote lead.
April 28 vote totals:
For the levy 425
Against the levy 416
However, the April 28 vote count did not include regular absentee ballots and provisional ballots. With those ballot now counted the election was not certified until this week.
