You bet, and it was quality merchandise. Dick Boehr took this photo of the former Basinger Furniture store in 1969 - 45 years ago.
Today the building is home of The Black Lab Trading Co.
Here's a couple things to check out:
• The beautiful green trash container
• The condition of the sidewalk
• The business on the south side - was a a Western Auto store?
• Is that a '62 Chevy parked "the wrong way?" (Vine wasn't a one-way street in 1969)
First-year Bluffton University students—members of the class of 2019—sign a banner on their first day on campus that symbolizes their commitment to support each other and to learn together.
The banner will be displayed in Bluffton’s Marbeck Center until their graduation day in four years.
The traditional banner signing followed a welcome from university President Dr. James Harder, who discussed his hopes for the incoming class.
