Fall arrives at 4:02 p.m. today (Friday) and reminds us of how beautiful nature can be that time of year. This photo is from the Facebook page of ONU English and shows the drive through the woods in the southwest portion of campus.
Everybody loves, or at least "Likes," the Ada Icon.
Today your local online news service passed 2,000 "Likes" on Facebook. That's a significant number of computers tracking Ada area news on a daily basis in a town with little more than 1,000 homes.
Yes, some people have two computers, and ONU students tune into our news as well. Plus, the Ada Icon goes throughout the world. We are accessed by people in nearly every state each month and, in a year's time, by people in more than 100 countries.
Thanks for your support of our efforts to help us live up to our motto: Where Ada gets its news.
The Icon keeps an eye out for Ada area oddities. This one is certainly in our top 10.
You'll find this cement fence post on the corner of Phillips Road and Lincoln Highway. The top of the post reads: "Sept. 1 1912." It was written in the post before the cement hardened. There's even an artistic design above the date.
The person who wrote the date on the post is unknown.
To make it more interesting, this could be the oldest existing graffiti - we are stretching the definition here - related to the entire Lincoln Highway. The highway was conceived in 1912.
