Success? Really? Dozens = success? Place still looks mighty empty in your photos (which are selectively focused, I may add...).

Sounds like you weren't there. You should talk to some of the people who were, before passing judgment.

I have to agree with you Cole.. If you don't come and take in the Market atmosphere, energy, what it has to offer and dwell in the past you can't judge...The past is the past and market is moving on to new and exciting things. Come in and partake in the market not just sit on the PC and pass judgement.

I have been to the Market the past 3 Sunday mornings and it has been wonderful! Isabelle's soups are amazing! Having her African Peanut Chicken Soup for lunch today! Sounds a little different but try it - outstanding! Sampled her Pumpkin Coconut Soup also and like everything else she makes...heavenly! Chef Pierre DeRagon's presentation is wonderful as well! They are finally getting on the right track with the market and I am anxious to see the continuing progress. I wish them the best!

I made a point to get over to market on Sunday and very glad I did. Great atmosphere, upbeat music, and delicious food. It also provided an opportunity for socialization. A strong sense of community.

I do not agree with telling anyone to shut up, but it is sad that they won't give the Sunday idea a chance to grow. The pictures are beautiful and inviting.

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...
