Bluffton Christians observed the annual Cross Walk Friday morning. Dozens of walkers followed the cross on its path from St. Mary's to St. John's. Click here for a video.
This driver is a real Buckeye fan. Notice that the driver uses a "T" instead of an "I." Probably means someone with an "I" beat him to the punch, but a "T" as a substitute in this case works. The Icon spotted this plate in Lima.
