The Rawlinsville Fire Company did water rescue training at Columbia River Park Saturday morning. 

*****************

A new store is about to open(?) at 5th & Cherry. 

It's located where Lively's store used to be.

There were some colorful skies Thursday evening. 

*****************

Columbia has a dog shit problem. 

Sign down!

(7th & Maple)

Here's the other side.

Building project on South 9th —

There's not enough room to install a handicapped ramp, so the owner has agreed to pay the borough a sum of money instead of installing one. Why didn't anyone catch this issue before the project was underway?

High winds created whitecaps. 

This graffiti took some effort. 

This vulture is still liking the chimney on the 500 block of Chestnut Street. Its mate must have flown off.

When you don't have room to complete your u-turn, just block the street until traffic moves.

This guy — possibly the owner — was checking out the "mystery boat" the other day.

The oil containment boom is still there.

Officials placed it in the river a little over a week ago. See the March 8, 2026 "About Town" for the backstory. 

At the Columbia Post Office . . .

A nice view

Strange clouds

Colorful clouds at sunset last Sunday . . .

*****************

Someone wasn't respectful. 

More photos from the Walnut Street fire on Thursday . . .

Like the shirt says

Howard Stevens sent this video of unsafe passing on Linden Street. Some drivers run through the stop sign at the Route 30 off-ramp onto Linden. Howard says every resident's car has been totaled on Linden, from the ramp to 4th Street.

Todd Stahl sents some pics from the trail the other day . . .
