There I was minding my own business in the Ada Public Library, and who do you suppose walked in: Great-Grandmother Ada.
I hadn’t seen her in town since the night Zac Dysert was drafted by the Broncos. She doesn’t live here anymore. I think she moved to Ada, Oklahoma, but I’m not certain. Anyway, I know she’s retired. She looked really good, though. A little purple wave in her hair and a really nice tan.
As soon as she sat down I knew she’d start talking. She has lots of opinions on Ada. You know, the usual: What ever became of so-and-so, and who bought that property on North Main Street?”
Probobably not. So, the Icon presents three photos of Ada's waste water treatment plant currently under construction. The photos are from the village website.
