This week's photos from around Columbia
(Click/tap on photos for larger, clearer images.)


 Guitars and tires. And that's all you'll ever need.

 Heart to heart

 Hearts for hearts' sake

 That's what happens when you don't keep up with your workouts.

 Falling monument

 For those really big snows

 He keeps coming back.

 The new truck in action

 Burned by the trolley failure, the borough tries another means of conveyance.

 Broken sign, just like the one that was broken elsewhere last week.
Targeting? Who would do such a thing? Yes, who?
Hmmm, let's see . . .

 Enforcement of various things at various times

 Columbians will temporarily have to travel far and wide for their booze.
The local store is closed for renovation.

 Here's the permit.

 Some folks were still hopeful.

 Folded wings

 Reflecting

 The river's high.

 Spontaneous waterfall

 Cat(s) on a cold rubber roof

Have a seat on 2nd Street.

There's that truck again.

All trolleys fail, some more quickly than others.

The "Falling Monument" photo is one very rare piece in Columbia history. This is one of two monuments that were placed in the park during the amazing 100 year Centennial and Old Home Week in Columbia. Can anyone guess what this was used for during this week of celebration?

Well I can see a expired meter , the mayors truck should be ticketed , no one should have to pay meter tickets . Show this to the judge. Just wait till more blaten things come up but this shows the mindset of our officals.

Looks like a watering trough for man’s best friend or his horse. Is this at the corner of Eighth St? If it is where is the second one?

You are correct on a watering trough for the horses. We are unsure the whereabouts of the second trough. What a gem of Columbia history.

Come on Leo we thought you were better than that, you said at council meetings "just put a quarter in the meter" now why CAN'T you practice what you said? You are supposed to set example for the public that elected you, including teenages , if you think you are above the law step down and let a person lead by example , this is a start to clean up Columbia , you know it starts at the top and works down. One more thing a borough only parking lot is about 100 feet away , is it LAZY or do you have a chip on your shoulder with the things that are coming out.

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...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
