Bike licenses can be obtained at the police station for a nominal charge.
Time for a little reading
Wiping the meters...
Wait...what?
Wiping the meters?!
New sheriff in town - well, a sheriff anyway
The K-9 car
Two out of three of these need to go.
Is anyone keeping track of our signage?
Speaking of signage, here's the Stump Avenue sign, possibly made from...a stump. What else?
Three churches
Parking project proceeds
Progress progresses at 208-210 Locust
Dungin' out
At K&A Event Planning & Party Rental LLC on the first block of North Fourth
Here's a parking enforcement officer, with a No Parking sign right between the eyes.
A look upriver, with atmospheric perspective that would be the envy of Lloyd Mifflin
There's Lloyd now, next to the historic society.
And there's the historic society, under the river.
Abandoned nest
Monarch on throne
Once again
The large number of mayflies supposedly indicates a healthy river, but you probably don't want to go swimming in it.

Who?
Coming soon: Andy's Market on Ironville Pike
Tree fire!
Nah, just clouds in the background
Reputed to be the name behind Purple's Lane
Wild turkey - the bird, not the bourbon
Some young 'uns
Out for a walk with the kids
Off they go.
Battening down the hatches - or at least the tarp
It's always good to carry a few spares.

A reader sent us this recent photo (and the next one) of a retention basin just off Cloverton Drive, which is not draining properly.
The problem is similar to that of other residents in that area, which Columbia Spy reported on HERE.
The borough needs to step up and own this and fix the problem for these taxpaying citizens.
Another reader sent us this photo of Concord Avenue. Wow!
The same reader also sent us this photo of the Old Town Hall at Third & Locust.
Cloverton drive west was built in a swamp that springs fed. It should have never been permitted to be a developement years ago.
ReplyDeleteHelm again
DeleteAlbeit slightly hidden, the Mifflin mural is one of the best! Exceptional, I always admire it, well done.
ReplyDeleteIs Andy's market moving to a new location
ReplyDeleteThey're moving part of their operation to the new location.
DeleteWhere did you get the Turkey shots? (Great photos as always!)
ReplyDeleteLaurel Hill Cemetery
DeleteCole, what was the 3 loud booms today around 11:00am coming from York County? Did anyone else hear/feel them? They were extremely loud and could actually be felt. Just curious. Nice pics as always.
ReplyDeleteThe booms were probably from the Civil War re-enactors at John Wright.
DeleteI thought the bridge lights were turned off to help with the mayfly's Sunday morning there were a lot of mayfly's on the lights and road more so on the Wrightsville side. one night they are on another they are off keep them off we don't need another year like we had a couple of years ago that was a road and health hazard people and drivers. I believe there was even a couple of accidents PLEASE KEEP THEM OFF FOR NOW
ReplyDeleteMillersville University is conducting a study on the mayflies. They're done in a couple days.
Deleteso is wrightsville or millersville going to clean up the mess that is left behind
DeleteNo Study needed - History will repeat itself - raise the lights up to where they were before Rivertown's Non Profit along with the the Mark Platts wasteland wasted millions of tax dollars to lower them - and everything will be just fine !
Deletewhy do they pay someone to dry off the meters? Waste of money right?
ReplyDeleteI know him and hes probably doing this because he's the kind of guy that cares, I'm surehe's not getting extra money for doing this, some people that live and have worked here do care and do stuff on their own.
Deletehe is the guy that fixes the meters
DeleteBeautiful photos, as always, Cole!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCole Rocks !!, but what's up the the State Trooper hat ?? is it an ego thing ?
DeleteIf you're referring to the hat in my logo, it's not a state trooper hat, just an old leather hat I wear to look more like this spy in the Spy vs Spy cartoon:

I think I bear a strong resemblance to the character.
LOL that bird nest has been on my trailer since I bought it.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Oster I love your fully equipped bike
