This year Valentine's Day falls on a Monday. If you have yet to get something for your sweetheart, you don't need to leave town to find a traditional or non-traditional gift.
The Icon took a quick tour around Ada's downtown, asking for tips and snapping photos. There are more options than you can visit in an afternoon (once you get chatting). Here's where we dropped in:
