REGISTER FOR CLASSES NOW.

Bluffton Family Recreation announces that registration is underway for youth fall programming, according to Joseph Beagle, director. There are two sessions of six weeks each.

Session 1 begins the third week of September and continues until Friday, Oct. 23. Session 2 begins the first week of November and continues until Friday, Dec. 4.

If you can identify the location of these two Bluffton residences you are a true Bluffton expert. (Those TV towers resemble Steinman tip-over towers.)

Here's some hints:

• Photo taken 1967, prior to the houses being razed 
• Main Street, Bluffton
• The white/green house is standing today (you can see just a glimpse of it on the far right)
• Study the signs near the curb (you can only see the back side). These help in the location idenfication.
