No question mark needed. This plate asks one of the more interesting questions of life. The Icon spotted it on Main Street. It is a Hancock County plate.
The regularly scheduled Monday, June 27, Bluffton council meeting has been cancelled.The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be on Monday, July 11, at 8 p.m. at the Bluffton Town Hall, Third Floor Community Room.
Old bricks from Bluffton's Main Street will be available as souvenir items during Bluffton's sesquicentennial celebration at the Boy Scout Indian Village's Trading Post.
The old Main Street was removed for the new Streetscape in 2009. Many of the bricks are embossed with "Convict Made 1927 Ohio State Brick Plant."
The bricks were laid on the street alongside the Western Ohio Railway electric interurban streetcar line, which ran on Main Street from 1906 to 1932.
Bev Amstutz and Dennis Morrison say, "You are invited to Bluffton's sesquicentennial." Events begin Friday, June 24. Follow The Icon for updates on all featured events.
