'Tis a puzzlement!

I don't recall when it first appeared. It may have been there before Crysler was widened, at which point it would not have been in the right-of-way.

If memory serves, it came after the road was widened.

I took a photo of it the other day. It looks far too new to be of any historical significance.

Unless its a "something happened here" marker, it IS far too new. Only 5-6 years old.

Good to be back, Mad! Glad I wasn't completely forgotten! Hopefully I can contribute a bit more than before. I noticed the post here about the Kiger Farm. I just happen to be following a thread on the Kiger Farm on a Facebook page. I never knew there was a farm. At one point along the thread, was a gal that once lived in the former Kiger farm house. I need to check with her to see if she has any photos, of both the interior and exterior of house, and any history of the property, previous owners, etc.

After Cochran's closed it's doors on Osage, it moved into and at the back of, Turner Music.

I had forgotten about that move. It seems they didn't last long there, and their selection was smaller than when on their own.

I hope so CaseyMO! By the way, can I copy and post your comment about Kiger Farm?
