What Rudi Steiner found in a Main Street alley in the 1950s -  The alley, which runs parallel to Main Street and Jackson Street, was another of the great Bluffton alleys of the 1950s.

This was the longest of the alleys I travelled. It ran from behind the high school all the way down to Riley Street. This alley always had really good stuff thrown out by Bluffton merchants.

We've not talked with Frosty and family for months. Suddenly, they sort of dropped out of the sky like they usually do. Here's some day-old family portraits. Some are missing artistic touches due the the sun's rays. But, you get the general idea. Our cover photo is from the Diller residence on Grove Street. If the Icon missed your snowman, please send a photo to: [email protected].
