Three score and six Christmases ago in Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 23, 2019

Note: The Icon posted this photo several years ago, but as a Christmas scene it's a good one to reflect upon.

It's  rare winter night scene of Main Street, Ada. By the looks of that Buick, we'd say it this photo was taken close to 1953.

We welcome other Icon viewer's comments.
