It sprang up recently - and suddenly - at the intersection of Franklin Street and Franklin Road. The previous structure at this location burned down a few years ago.

Out on Purple's Lane- Foam was found in the water here on Friday.
Supposedly, fish were killed here due to exposure to the chemical foam from a fire department training exercise at Columbia High School.
In other news, looks like things at this outfall have fallen apart.
Here too.
The following photos were submitted to Columbia Spy:

"Another device with no discernible purpose"
It's a mechanical Tire Changer. Back when you did it manually.....
Where is that house at
machine is a tire changer
The device you show is an old manual tire changer. Where is that located?
It's at Bootleg Antiques on Bridge Street
Which one?
Thanks. I edited the caption to reflect that info.
I don't get these "antique" dealers here in town. That tire machine either needs at least painted, stored indoors, or sold to scrap. They are asking 500 dollars for it. Say what??
Where is the pipe and the headwall pic taken?? Is that by the high school? ( concrete pipe seperation)
Alone Purples Lane and also back near Route 30.
Can people really use the rocking chairs at the money pit? I know they don't use the kitchen there.
Isn't the storm water pipes part of the system of the retaining basin at Cloverton dr which the borough told the people that they didn't get money to take care of, and they found a copy of the check.
On the new side walk on walnut street , is it going to be a brick inlay between the walk and the curb? If so who is to take care of the weeds that come up between the bricks like the walks that have this done? The ones that have the weeds growing look worse than to have a grass stripe or concreat . Another fart????
The basket ball back board (metal) is just fine , who is the one who oked the glass ones at the other play ground , please look and learn, you are spending tax payers money people. Don't you think one of the older basket ball players could put a 4 dollar net up , they come in from all over to use these courts.
The "tube" should not run over. These "tubes" were meant to contain bags for people to pick up dog waste. They were never intended to be disposal sites. Pick it up, take it with you. Dog poop bags not dog poop disposal.
I don't understand how the trashy porch from "uptown" is allowed to be that way. The codes department seems to be out in force picking on homeowners for chipping paint, missing bricks etc. Trash on porch ... no problemo!
They should have a sign there telling people
$500 and parts are missing . You can find them in junk yards for scrape prices.
It is easy to spend other peoples money , $1000 for a glass back board , this person should have $100 a pay for the next 10 pays take to teach them the value of a dollar or termination . We will see what kind of a manager we got this time through the back door.
I hope they chain them down , heaven knows the cameras don't work good enough to catch any one.
How can Wrightsville have it's own trash removal and Columbia doesn't , maybe Eric can help Leo past this on to the council.
I doubt a sign would help.
Wrightsville could teach this group a lot about taking care of citizens and how to spend tax money , it is nite and day between the towns
Looks like cleaning supplies...not trash. Why I agree it is unsightly it is not a health or safety issue. Many believe the property codes address cosmetic issues which they do not.
Is chipping paint on a porch a safety issue? Is a gallon of iced tea and a slushy cup a cleaning supply? Now we know whose home it is!
Chipping paint can most certainly be a health and safety issue. Obviously if the paint is lead based it is a health issue. Paint is used mainly for two purposes...to beautify something and to protect a surface. I can show you several porches in Columbia where the paint is chipping, or worse, on the wood pillars allowing the wood underneath to decay. Certainly a safety issue.
because no one up higher told the code guy to pick on that one
The humidity and rain have not allowed wood to dry out sufficiently for proper painting. Some "professional" painters have even used umbrellas to paint in the rain. That's a job that may satisfy codes, but will never last. It's certainly not protecting the wood.
Codes needs to back off on painting citations this year.
i agree! everyone SHOULD realize that with the moist, wet, humid conditions all this year...is NOT the environment to paint exterior. I'd get a lawyer. code dept SHOULD know that. they're professinals?! i would NOT waste my hard earned money on a paint job that SEALS IN THE MOISTURE AND WILL CREATE EVENMORE ISSUES! wow.
