Ever been on Ada, Oklahoma? It has similarities to Ada, Ohio

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, January 17, 2014

By Caitlin Nearhood

Here’s another Ada you probably didn’t know about.

Ada, Oklahoma, is the county seat in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, and is located in south central part of the state. It’s also 90 miles from Oklahoma City. The population was 16,810 at the 2010 census, larger than our Ada. In 1891, a post office was established and the city was named for Ada Reed, the daughter of Jeff Reed, the first local mail carrier and a relative of the Daggs family that first settled there.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 24, 2013

My memories of the best Christmas ever come in a package wrapped from stores located in the Lima public square.

I know. It's sounds impossible to viewers born after Neil A. walked on the moon; but it's true.

There was nothing...nothing like going to Lima and shopping downtown for Christmas.
Picture this: Somewhere on South Main, Lima, there was Porter's Music Store. You could actually select a 33 1/3 rpm album, enter a listening booth and listen to the album in privacy. That way you'd know if you wanted to buy it or pass.
