Police checking things out at 3rd & Locust last Monday evening

Pinocchio's left foot?
Four violations right off the bat: parking along a highway on a side designated NO PARKING, parking on a sidewalk, blocking a driveway, leaving gas cans unattended.

Close-up of the above
Looks like birds will roost just about anywhere:
atop a pole...
atop a finial...
atop a sign.
Every home should have one of these.
The mayor said there's not a camera at 3rd & Perry, and yet ... there's a camera at 3rd & Perry.

Drone over Chestnut, but not the borough's, since officials say we don't have one.
It was being operated by this guy...
...who apparently works for this company.

Fortunately, it was only primer.
Accident at 4th & Chestnut last Friday afternoon
This car . . .
. . . and this car collided.
This truck at 4th & Locust had been in an accident just a few minutes before the other one.
Here's a car with a broken windshield sitting on 13th Street. A few days earlier it was sitting on the 1300 block of Manor. How was it moved?
Rain-spotted flag
Van sporting a picture of the bridge . . . down by the bridge.
Was the photo taken from the Wrightsville side - or from the Columbia side and then reversed? Either way, it still shows the old bridge lights.

The mural should read Columbia, founded in 1788 and incorporated in 1814. John Wright comes to the river's edge in 1726, then builds Wright's Ferry Mansion in 1736, and was a colony and not incorporated town. We would love to have that nearly 300 years to tag, but we need to be honest in history. Love the mural and should be painted on the wall and not on fabric. Look at the one at the Historic Preservation of Lloyd Mifflin that still looks great.
I been in columbia almost 40 years and always heard the house at florence and manor was haunted that everytime some renovated it, something bad happens!! Is this house actually haunted??
market house is going to be a brewery, is this true??
What part of spruce St is that. Great pics as always
Cops really have nothing better to do go stop all the little gangs trying to run this town
Any idea on the cost of the Mifflin mural compared to the one under project now?
I agree, the Lloyd Mifflin mural is very classy. It certainly appears to have held up well.
Looks awesome!
I think it is the nine hundred block .
I thought so but all the trees though me off. Thank u
Yeah. If you could get your sweaty, smelly body off the picnic table - that'd be great.
I know this is Columbia, but geez people, a little class would go a long way.
A quick ticket is a must , people eat or at least they used to eat off this table. This shows NO class!
In their defense, just a bit, they are lying on towels and blankets.
and the table is bending
Great job to the columbia borough police!! Im sure the police were not harrasing but there prob cause someone called them, large groups, brings more police!! Safety of our officers should be inportant!!!
So there's a dirty, stinky towel as the only line of defense between the table and their stanky booty. I feel much better.
This is vandelizem , this kind of thing should not be , you wonder why things get broken in our parks? I thought that there is a management company in place (115,000) a year , One would think someone would have been out there telling these people this is Not acceptable.
NO defense is possible THE table is bending , it is not build for this kind of weight.
I WATCHED 6 KIDS SET THERE BUT ON EVERY CAR IN FRONT OF THE MARKET HOUSE THAN RAN UP THE ALLEY
What are you trying to say. The sentence is meaningless.
Who polices the management?
I under stand 6 kids set on cars at the market house then ran ?????
