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.
