It's Nov. 22, 1969, in downtown Bluffton. Main Street businesses are in the midst of the most major makeover in the town's history. Awnings are being added to businesses.
The businesses in this photo are, from left, Rice's Tot Shop, Bluffton News, Bruce Shelly Nationwide, Dr. Allan Yoder, optometrist, and Greding Hardware.
Interesting to note that after 46 years there's still a newspaper, insurance office, optometrist and hardware in those businesses.
Dick Boehr took this photo. Notice the steps at the Tot Shop (today Bluffton News).
