Did you enjoy Bluffton's National Night out on Aug. 4?

If so - or if you missed it - here's a video shot by Blane Miller. He took it high above the event. Can you figure out how he shot it?

 

Note:  The Iconoclast View is a place on the Icon where we post opinion pieces. The following email came to us recently - unsoliciated from the Icon owner's brother, Rudi Steiner.

It fits in the opinion category and may help to explain what the Icon is and is not. We offer it here for viewers' enjoyment.

That thing you did about temporarily getting rid of the comments section was a good idea.

They are painting Main Street, but it's not the BHS seniors.

Zimmerman Painting is involved in creating a new paint scheme for Main Street. This week the firm is removing and replacing the crosswalks at the following Main Street intersections:

   • College
   • Franklin
   • Church-Cherry
   • Vine
   • Elm
   • Jefferson

Who hasn't walked, jogged, biked or driven past the Bluffton University football stadium and wondered what it looks like from the 50-yard-line on the home bleacher side.

Here's that look. The Icon visited the field earlier in the week and came home with several photos, which you may view below this story.

(The final photo is an artist's rendition of the completed field. The sixth photo shows a pile of turf cut up on the sidelines.)

Eariler this year I was asked a couple questions concerning the church key belonging to  St. Mary's Catholic Church, since I grew up across the street from it. I wrote this brief article for the church history and share it with Icon viewers.

My parents were Nelson and Margaret Steiner.
