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.

Put on your  math thinking caps.
