We got freezing rain Friday night—and the next morning, things looked like this.
But the sunrise was particularly vivid.
All day on Friday, borough workers put down lots of brine, in anticipation of the "freeze."
Lots of brine.

Santa's still hanging around town in various places . . .

Meanwhile, at Lancaster Distilleries on Fourth
LOVE IS LOVE
Looks like someone trespassed.
NO DUMPING
New businesses in town . . .
.................

Not a new business, just a new sign
But the sign on the right says they do watch repair.
*****************
Save the wildflowers!
A very understanding sign
It looks as though something chewed off the bottom of the door to get to the goldfish.
(But where did the goldfish come from?)
A look inside the Von Hess building
The renovation there is ongoing.
Is that a giant ottoman?
A boogie board in the alley

There's a relatively new short-term rental on South 2nd.
Columbia is more than 50% rentals.
The Habitat for Humanity Linden Street Build is now under roof. A Women Build Lancaster event is planned January 6-10 at the site.

Out at McGinness: Iron Eagle is finishing up, but they're well past the anticipated deadline of Thanksgiving.

The fencing was removed, though.

JOE LINTNER | COLUMBIA SPY
In a letter dated December 22, 2025, Columbia Borough has rescinded its March 12 "Letter of No Trespass" banning Chris Vera from borough property. The "Rescission of Letter of No Trespass" allows Vera to "enter public areas of property belonging to the Borough during times such property is open to the public."
The ban, which has been considered "unconstitutional," was the subject of a December 6, 2025 LNP LancasterOnline article by reporter Jade Campos, which can be found HERE.
