Column: Buffalo Ridge -- our answer to the Hoover Dam
WORTHINGTON — When you get above age 30, people sometimes ask you about things you remember that are not often seen any longer. Or maybe it is when you get above 40. You know what I am talking about. I even have people ask me about such things.By Ray Crippen , June 25, 2011
