Tiny tots with their eye all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight.

One of our favorite Bluffton stores to visit during the Christmas season is Town and Country Flowers, 121 S. Main St.

Connie Kruse and her staff put together one of the most interested holiday decorated stores anywhere.

The Icon recently visited Town and Country and took our video camera long.

Here’s what we recorded (watch the video below – better still – visit the floral shop to see it for yourself.

Ever hear of the Master Feed Mill? Do you know its location?

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 22, 2015 - 8:42pm

Can you imagine? 

Once upon a time the parking spaces behind Common Grounds all the way to the library didn't exist.

You are looking at the remains of what was the Master Feed Mill that serviced farmers in the Bluffton area for many decades. It is located directly behind Common Grounds.

Note the white barn in the photo. That's no longer there either. It's now part of the Riley View Apartments.

Also examine the curbing. That's not there today.
