BUC TR - we take it to mean Buckeye Truck - is truly one-of-a-kind. To prove this, we encourge you to check out the photo below, which shows a photo of the truck. The Icon spotted it in the First National Bank parking lot, Bluffton.

Get this: There is a new music group in town named Mike and the COP-per Tones, composed of cops, of course.
The ensemble performed Wednesday afternoon for Vancrest residents. The cops may be into heavy metal, rock and roll, punk, hip hop, hard rock, rap...we didn't ask.
They stuck to Christmas music Wednesday, their efforts appreciated with applause. Want to schedule them for your next gig? Call the police department.
