What I Saw - 1/13/13 - No Sun, No Railings, No Market House, But Lotsa Lips

As of yesterday morning, WGAL was promising us sun and temps approaching 60 today.  What we got instead was fog well into the afternoon (this pic was taken at about 2:30 p.m.) and temps in the 40s (46 to be exact, when this was snapped).
Damn you, Joe Calhoun!
Don't you know false hope is worse than no hope?

 By the way, where are the railings at the River Park steps?

 No, really - they're gone.

 I'm hoping someone put them away for the winter and that they weren't stolen and sold for scrap.
But if the railings were there for safety, why would they be removed and stored?  Just wonderin'.

 Market House open today!
(Sunday?)

 Guess not.

Oh well, at least someone found Mick Jagger's lips.

Just heard on the scanner (about 3:50 p.m.): A woman called Columbia Police to report six vultures tearing up her trash on Park Avenue.
Really?
Yes, really.

have you seen the dozens and dozens of these HUGE vultures and hawks???? if not, take a ride up Ridge Avenue and look up towards Park Ave , North 10th & North 11th St...Unbelieveable! Can you imagine the health hazard this poses with all that bird poop???

I see a lot more than in years past, but it sounds like their numbers are getting out of control now.

i travel up Ridge Ave almost daily-there are at the very least 30...maybe 40...of em. it has got to be a very serious health issue. birds carry disease. and the amt of bird poop you can see on the street, someones shed, etc is outrageous! check it out!
