Howe Tennis Courts - before and after

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 16, 2019 - 12:29pm

It's a funny thing, how tennis balls can pound on a court fence powerful enough that the fence needs replacing. Actually, floods, weather and age are forces that are more powerful.

The Howe Tennis Courts on East College Avenue have new fencing this summer. Here's before and after views.

County Line bridge re-opens

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 16, 2019 - 9:22am

Your re-routing around the Allen-Hardin County Line Road south of U.S. 30, (Hog Creek bridge on Hardin County Road 15 west of Ada) is no longer necessary.

The bridge is now open. However, the county is developing a plan to alleviate flooding on the road and intends to raise the road and then repave County Road 15  this fall. That will close the bridge again.

Swimming in Bluffton one century ago

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 16, 2019 - 8:32am

Once upon a time in Bluffton, if swimming was the plan, this was the scene.

The photo, enlarged from a snapshot taken in the early 1920s shows the Buckeye from the south bank looking north.

The building in the photo is very near the location of today's shelter house.

The "pool" had a slide and diving board platform (on the right), and a dressing area. Missing from the scene is a float (raft) with two barrels underneath.
