Throwback Thursday
As
we travel back in time for the weekly throwback Thursday
photos, we would be remiss if we didn't mention how far
digital photography has come over the newspaper's life.
Digital photography was available, but just barely in
the early years of the paper, so photos were few and far
between. Advances in photography began, and pictures
such as those featured on Thursday, April 9, 2009,
seemed like they were just as good as any film camera
could ever produce.
Now, as we look back, even these digital photos taken
just over a decade ago look aged and grainy compared to
what we can produce today.
Nonetheless, let us remember with fondness that spring
day in 2009 when ground was broken on what was to be and
is now the Castle Manor Supported Living residential
facility, an important part of the Logan County
community.
The captions read: "Groundbreaking on the new Castle
Manor Supportive Living was held yesterday afternoon.
Board members of St. Clara's Senior Services and
Heritage Enterprises of Bloomington representatives
turned the first spades of dirt on the west-side
development."
And, "The red-coated ambassadors from the Lincoln/Logan
County Chamber of Commerce decided to dig in to help."
