Iconoclast View

Have you ever seen a bird's-eye-view of Ada?

Thanks to these photos provided by Kevin Mierzejewski, you can have that view.

He took the following photos on Saturday showing the Farmers' and Merchants' Picnic grounds and the surrounding views of Ada.

These are from his Facebook page and he gave us permission to post them. We couldn't decide which view we enjoyed the most, so we've posted five for your viewing enjoyment.

Can you see your house from here?

Here's another Ben Bowers "where is it?" photos. 

You've walked below this window on Main Street, Ada. Can you identify the address of the Brewer Block?
 

Answer: Family Chiropractic Center; 108 N Main Street

Ben Bowers is at it again. 

Earlier this summer we suggested to Ben that he located some familiar, but, "well, I'm not really certain where this scene is to be found in Ada" photos.

So far he has tossed several photos at Icon viewers including one from the post office, swimming pool and a nighttime deposit box from a former Ada utility office that is now John and Toni's.

Here he goes again. 

We "Betz" you've walked by this building countless times.

Name the business that is located in the building today.

ANSWER BELOW:

Ben Bowers is at it again. This time it's a multiple choice quiz.

He's provided another photo that every Icon viewer can identify - or should be able to identify.

This rather long and narrow art object is a window. No doubt, everyone reading this column has passed under it.

Where is it in Ada?

A - Somewhere on the ONU campus
B - Somewhere on the post office
C - Somewhere on an Ada side street

The answer is below.
 

 

Here is an imperial moth (Eacles imperialis) on the front window of Liberty National Bank on Monday morning.

It is the second species of a large moth found at the bank in the past month.

One wonders why such large moths, rarely seen around here, take to the the bank window.

Perhaps, the old saying is true: He who is careful with his money sees moths fly out when he opens his wallet. This imperial moth, in shades of brown and yellow, has a 4-inch wingspan. The imperial moth is on decline in the U.S.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - An Icon viewer confirmed rumors floating around that fresh-water sharks have, in fact, entered the Riley Creek stream system.

Earlier this week, the Icon obtained this photo sent by Tricia Burkholder from her cell phone with the proof.

"I spotted this on my way home from my mom's house. As we drove across the bridge by Buckeye Lake, we spotted a shark swimming in the Riley Creek," she informed the Icon.

Several unconfirmed sightings of large creatures with fins in the Riley have, up to this point, been poo-pooed.
