Each week in June and ending in the first week of July, The Icon will post two photos revealing one letter (or number) taken from Main Street Ada buildings and structures. All photos were taken in May by the Icon’s official contest photographer, Bailey Bowers. The photos cover Main from College Avenue on the south to Highland Avenue on the north.
We invite Icon viewers to keep track of the letters by identifying each letter’s location. An entry form is attached to this story for viewers to keep up to date in the contest.
You may have noticed that Mustard Seed Café, 562 N. Main St. Bluffton, now has a fence that encloses its patio areas. This is part of a state requirement in order to serve wine and beer in an outdoor setting. The fence also enhances the quaint vintage charm of the train depot location.
The café now offers light fare that goes nicely with the new wine and beer selections. “Red and White Slates” consist of cheese, breads, meats, olives or fresh fruit served on a tile, paired with red or white wine.
From June 23 until Aug. 8 ReStore Community Center is providing free and reduced lunches to Ada youth, thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Department of Education.
The lunches are provided at the Ada Park shelter house number 2 Mondays through Fridays noon to 1:30 p.m. The lunches are provided through the grant Monday to Thursdays. Padrone’s Pizza provides lunch on Fridays.
