About Town - Part 2

 Some more pics from around town...

Two officers apprehended three dogs loitering at the clock plaza at 5th & Chestnut last week. Fortunately, the owner responded before the hapless canines were taken away. One person owned all three dogs.

Speaking of the clock plaza at 5th & Chestnut, here's the clock.

It is called "Doc's Clock" and was paid for, and donated to the citizens of Columbia, by Dr. Stephen Perry and his wife Diane.

 It was dedicated to his - and his wife's - parents on June 17, 2006.

 A councilperson tells Columbia Spy that the plaza, which includes a brick wall, was constructed by borough workers.

The clock was made by the Electric Time Company of Medfield, Massachusetts.

 An urban legend holds that a former Columbia councilperson's dentures reside within the wall of the plaza.

It took over a week for the town to bounce back from a bad storm on September 5. Much damage was incurred, including downed utility wires (and, in some cases, poles), trees, and tree branches.

 The codes department has cracked down on the owner of the overgrown, and apparently abandoned, property at 229 North 6th. It was recently condemned.

The grass still has not been mowed and shows several weeks of growth.
