No, this scene isn't 45 years old!

This photo make senses with Icon viewers who walked Main Street Bluffton in 1970. Anyone younger than this may not believe this view is actually Bluffton.

Dick Boehr took this photo on Dec. 26, 1970. He stood on the Prebsyterian Church lawn, aimed his camera at Citizens National Bank and snapped the shutter.

There are several things of interest in this photo:
• The downtown Christmas lights
• Citizens National Bank facade, which replaced the earlier pillars
• Millager's Pharmacy, next to the bank
• West Ohio Gas Co., next to Millager's
• Several made-in-Detroit vehicles with lots of horsepower and V-8 engines 
• Note the single stop light on Main
