The green monster

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 26, 2012

Think for a moment. Where does this tall brick wall exist in Ada? Well, it's not exactly a wall. It's one side of the Ada school building, which presents itself as a large piece of scenery as the school lawn is mowed.

Music on Main - wait until next year - it might get bigger!

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, July 25, 2012

Check out the photos at the bottom of the story.

Did you like the July 12 Music on Main party? Good, because next summer there may be more parties downtown. The Buy-Local Committee, meeting July 25, reviewed their first attempt at a downtown promotion and are in the discussion stages of doing more next summer.

Although no plans are set, Music on Main might appear once a month in June, July and August.

The ad hoc committee has several ideas in the thinking stage. For example, how about an Ada garden tour next summer? Or, a downtown cash mob?  These are two ideas being explored by the committee.
