Blufftonite Lyle Henry passed along this photo, noting "one Mute Swan was on the National Quarry today (2/3/2024), and has been there for a bit over a week per our reckoning. It seems to enjoy being in the company of people, swimming to be near and quite approachable, thus far showing to be in no rush to leave town."
A local dining gap has been filled with the opening of CrispyJo at 415 State Route 103, the western-most restaurant along Bluffton’s “Restaurant Row” near I-75. The building previously housed KFC and then Li CO restaurant and has been empty for some years. In January 2024 the installation of a new sign revealed that the wait for an additional dining option was almost over.
