From the Ada Icon - That's David "Rico" Rodriguez waving from the cupola of Van's Corner at State Route 235 and Old Route 30 located north of Ada.

He's showing all Icon readers the major work that has been done on the building in recent weeks to turn the structure into a family restaurant called Cherico's.

Several historical parts of the building have been retained, such as the pine floor and cupola.

The photo shows an expanded dining area with the roofline extended on three sides for open air-dining.

October, November and December night time skies are worth watching. 

On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 28, there will be a triple conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and Mars in the eastern sky. The three planets will form a tight, 1-degree triangle. It is an easy event to enjoy with the naked eye.
