It's not Bluffton - rather, Ada at mid-century
Here's a photo of Ada's Main Street looking north sometime in the late 1940s or very early 1950s. The truck parked southbound resembles a 1949 Cheverolt. There's even a "woodie" parked on the photographer's side of the street.
What else is in view?
• Peper Drugs
• ODEON - was a a threatre?
• Check out the light poles and the condition of the sidewalks.
This photo is from the collection of the Ada Public Library.
