The entry deadline is noon on Wednesday, Dec. 30.

This feature is from Bluffton Icon in a series titled “Forgotten Bluffton.” We edited this feature for Ada Icon and it could easily be titled “Forgotten Ada.”

Why is there a curve on State Route 235 north of Ada near U.S. 30?

Older resident might remember when the curve was a 90-degree jog in the road.

Just north of Bluffton on Bentley Road there’s also a curve in the road, similar to the one on SR 235.

These curves have been modernized by state and county road crews, as once upon a time they were 90-degree jogs.
