Alternative forms of transportation
(Talk of the Town photos by Jennifer Zartman Romano) 
Without a doubt, traffic up and down streets and sidewalks in Whitley County appears to be influenced heavily by the warm spring days we've experienced this week. Of course, we've seen convertibles with their tops down, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles and plenty of walkers, runners and skateboarders, at right. BUT...the one we were really impressed to see on a fine, sunshiney day was the tractor someone appears to have driven straight to the bank on Tuesday. Above, a tractor sits in the parking lot at Three Rivers Federal Credit Union in Columbia City as its owner was inside tending to their banking needs. Many will agree, after a long winter indoors -- the fresh air does us all good and may be best enjoyed aboard a tractor!
