What I saw recently

Some pics from around town over the last few days . . .

 These notices have been popping up on properties around town lately.

The government is once again in the process of confiscating private property.

 Grammar anyone?

 So what DID happen at this property on the 200 block of Locust?
It's the same place as shown HERE.

 Little Boy Blue casting his fate to the wind (or at least his line to the water).

 The hands of fate?  Nah, just more cool kitsch at Burning Bridge Antiques.

 Jailed without due process

 Spelling . . . ?

 Hitchin' a ride

 Seen on the 200 block of Union Street.  Is it legal?
If so, I want one for my property that says WHOVIAN ZONE.

Seen in Wrightsville.
Hmmm . . . .

Wouldn't that rock the house??

What is up with this poor dog that is kept outside of this house with the sign out front?? How many dogs is it- when i go by i never see anything out there but the cage and the sign. Obviously someone has commented or there wouldnt be a sign there. This is quite an eyesore but is there something else that can be done?? I cant imagine any animal outside like that in the past weeks when it was so hot and that cage is right there in the blazing sun. I know there are a lot bigger things to worry about in town but this is disgraceful.

This dog cage is just wrong. I completely disagree with this but they could at least follow code and make sure shade, food and water are provided.

i agree. call and report them to aspca, orca, humane league, police, etc.....and the dog in the cage at 9th St & Lancaster Ave is frightful and horrible to look at for visitors coming into town from the East. Isn't there some codes or police violations here???? WHY do we let these ingrates get away with this.

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -
Image
Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
