PHOTO OF THE DAY: CLASSIC LOOK BACK

This photo was taken in the mid-1950s not long after Freeman’s Main Street was paved for the first time — a project that took place in 1953. Now, almost 70 years later, the Freeman City Council is moving in the direction of a major capital project that would see the downtown roadway entirely rebuilt. The council this week committed more than $2 million for both the design of Main Street and the project itself, would could be underway in the spring of 2022.
