Can you imagine? 

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.

Look closely at what appears to the a stoned alley. That's paved today.  Dick Boehr took this photo on Nov. 22, 1969.
