Why does it read “Triplett 1900” on top of the building housing CVS Pharmacy at 126 N. Main St.?
The reason is that a man named Will Triplett built the building in 1900. He was the grandfather of the late Ropp and Morris Triplett. Will’s son, R.L., Triplett, founded what became the Triplett Corp., which for several decades was Bluffton largest employer.
Here's the Will Triplett story:
Will A. Triplett was Bluffton's photographer for over 50 years, working here from 1881 to 1934, when he died.

Gloria Estefan released Brazil305 in August 2020. It is the fourteenth studio album by the three-time Grammy Award winning Cuban-American singer. It is also her first album since the 2013 release of Standards.
Estefan pioneered the first Latin pop explosion, paving the way for artists like Ricky Martin and Shakira. Her earlier works combined pop, R&B, salsa, and Latin funk with great success. It’s perfect timing for the album as Latin pop music is once more en vogue in the music world.

Now that we’ve entered October, it feels appropriate to entertain some spookier fare. This month my goal is to share about some horror classics and why they’re worthy of revisiting in 2020. First up, is 1996’s Scream.
Scream opens with the best sequence in the film that runs close to 15 minutes as Casey Becker (DREW BARRYMORE) is terrorized by the film’s killer.
