Stumped? Or do you know where this is?

Hint: in the lobby of a center on Main Street. The words are so true, as you know, if you have ever dealt with a multinational corporation or federal agency...and remember, "the conversation is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes."

The answer: In the waiting room of Family Chiropractic Center, i.e. the offices of Dr. Larry Hubbell and Dr. Todd Gillfillan at 108 N. Main. (Monty Siekerman)

This is the time of year when the media descends on our village to report on the making of the all-important pigskin.

In the past few days, the local factory has hosted representatives from A&E, Kenton, Lima, Findlay, and Columbus....and, of course, your Ada Icon.
