Even though I am against this type of entertainment in a town , you can not stop it. It would be nice to have some type of settlement outside the courtroom which would save everyone money. With the guidelines as I read, it is hard to have that type of entertainment in Columbia

It's always been this type of bar, get over it and collect taxes.

From the piece: "Mayor Leo Lutz’s stance hasn’t shifted. “I just don’t think that (club) belongs in the neighborhood,” he said."

A tax-paying business that has been there for years. But this borough is using tax money to fight it; yet they fawn over every fly-by-night "antique" shop selling overpriced junk. Or wasting $30,000 for a trolley bus to drive empty around town.

Maybe the borough should sell the Market House to Club Good Times (at least it would get some regular use). Or the empty fire station on Front St.?

I'm on the Trolley Route, seems to be attracting more and more riders.
Perhaps you need to visit the club and have a Good Time.

Ah yes, Bob. Promoting the same old tired ideas that have been tried and re-tried (and never succeeded) for the past 50 years. But hey - maybe it will work next week?

Meanwhile, it reality...

The field does harbour many school kids during sporting events, so while it's a bit of a stretch, I do see it.

The trolley isn't always empty.

Columbia needs new blood in high places.

There are several grass alleys that have become "private" over the decades. Citizen's eminent domain. No one will address the issue. People use the alleys for storage, driveways and parking. Not likely to change.

Club Good Times shuts the doors. No doors on Avenue J or any of the other private grass alleys. Some are important as access points for emergency equipment, but who cares.

Not private,, Boro owned.
Private is behind my residence, and see how it's owned.
Lord, get your facts straight.

It's too much of a stretch. And who cares? It's all behind closed doors. The club could be next door to a school for all it matters. I bet the people that live in their houses across the street from the elementary schools are naked sometimes, too! Guess we should move them.

(I do think that should be the bus' new slogan. "Not always empty". I like it. )

Point is "private" is in quotes for a reason. The grass alleys are indeed borough owned, but the borough does not give a crap who does what with them.

Ave J still has a good portion of the brick and cobblestone intact from when it was a CARRIAGE WAY.
IT'S History and being abused for no good reason.
CLOSE IT AND PRESERVE WHAT IS LEFT!

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...

Columbia Borough Manager Jack Brommer Announces Resignation

Jack Brommer [Columbia Spy file photo] Jack Brommer, who has spent nearly three decades serving Columbia Borough in various roles, has submitted his resignation as borough manager, effective November 13, 2026, according to a letter posted on The Columbia Chronicle . So far, the reason for his resignation has not been made public. Council will likely vote on the issue at its next meeting on September 22, 2026. Resignation letter In September 2025, as part of a planned succession, Brommer took on the role of interim borough manager while continuing to serve as police chief — a dual role he maintained through April 2026. During that transitional period, he earned a $118,000 police chief salary plus a $2,000 monthly stipend for his added manager duties, with guidance from part-time assistant borough manager Ron Youtz helping smooth the handoff. On May 1, 2026, Brommer made the transition official: he retired from the police force after 29 years of service and stepped into the role of full-...
