Captain America about to go off duty
Borough workers repaired the bollard that was hit by a car about a week ago at 5th & Chestnut.
Here it is.
Here's a tractor-trailer going down Walnut Street.
(Now, what was that about that Route 441 bypass...?)

What were these tools at Columbia Crossing used for?
An older edition of The Columbia Spy might give a clue.
More and more missing bricks, courtesy of local vandals
On the way up the hill
Instruments of destruction (or construction?) parked around the corner on the 400 block of Avenue H
The machines are being used to dig trenches to lay these pipes.
Here are a few more.

One down, one to go
This cat looks to be a refugee from the movie Dune and has obviously ingested too much of "the spice."
Legs cost extra
A sign of spring
Open soon on North 4th?
Signs of life at the 4th Street firehouse?
Just the right size boxer shorts and gloves
All tangled up

Here's another one.
Birds at breakfast
Chemtrails! The government's trying to kill us all.
(Just kidding, sort of.)
Open flames
Just right for lighting your Benson & Hedges 100, which this worker appears to have done. (All right, it might be a pen.)
Flame on!
Very hot. Do not touch.
Sometimes a bicycle is just a yard decoration.
Post-modern paint job
The Returned Soldier has a greenish bruise along his left eyebrow.
His sleeve and helmet aren't faring too well either.
Mossy pylons

Dragonflies lingering on the outside wall
Out for a walk
Even more sacks of stone in the yard at Living Stones
Underneath Columbia Crossing
A good place to sort of hide things away
Bucket truck with a dressing room in the back?
Just wow!
Someone needs to call for a dumpster.
Mostly mayhem

Like Freddy Mercury sang:
"Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle"
A worker at 429 Chestnut Street invited Columbia Spy in to see the renovations being done there.
Workers have been busy for the past five months giving the place a complete makeover.
The property will reportedly be on the market in three to four weeks.
The house features a lot of chestnut wood, appropriately enough on Chestnut Street.
There are also several stained glass windows.
Interested? Here's the contact info.

A historical marker at the Marietta section of the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail offers info about the area.
Chiques Creek flows into the Susquehanna under this bridge.
This sign indicates that it's thataway.

Whats going in at the old keystone fire company building on 4th?
ReplyDeleteDon't know. There's a vehicle parked inside.
DeleteWhere is all that trash at
ReplyDelete2nd & Walnut
Deleteridiculously out of control.
DeleteLeo Lutz, as Mayor of Columbia don't you think it is your job to walk around TOWN with your Boro Sidekicks and inform these people that this kind of lifestyle will not be TOLERATED in our town. Try to use your POWER and make the people clean up the messes or face a HUGE fine. This is part of your {JOB} try to own up and do it right. OR QUIT, USELESS
ReplyDeleteInstead of sitting around complaining about all the trash and how it is Codes responsibility all the time, why don't you get off your butt knock on the door of the property with the trash and ask him why the hell they are trashing your Colombia!

DeleteTrails and more Trails, what ever happened to just walking over town, really like we did, walk to the park to play, go to the Market House, go over town, people walk to the car shows, the Craft Shows, really. Maybe we should move Columbia Business shops to the Trails, or the River Park.
ReplyDeleteIf we get rid of some people in council and manager maybe it will change. Whatever Lancaster does we do. They are studying parking so now we are also. The younger generation don't care about the historic district either.
ReplyDeleteLancaster and York have baseball teams are we next?
DeleteRothsville has polo , then are borough employees can clean up the ---- from the horses , sounds like something the board would consider doesn't it???? Beam me up Scotty , there is no inteligent life on the council here.
DeleteWhy would we have the heaters at the money pit , for the borough to pay for the gas and outsiders to look at them and say i am not sitting out side but they look nice,so one heater might make it possible for 4 or 5 to sit around,more tax payers money for nothing , when is this going to stop or when are we going to get someone inteligent enough to stop this gross over spending ????
ReplyDeleteThere are people running in the upcoming election that have vowed to put an end to the overspending. People need to make sure they get to the polls in May and November and vote.
DeleteBROVO to them they have my vote.
DeleteWe still can't use the kitchen there.
DeleteRiver park should start making its own money ,just like the fire companies!!!!
ReplyDeleteStart with making money to pay for there hammock.Then they can start on a 700 person theater and find parking!!!!!
DeleteYes we must get these people elected who are not afraid to buck the system. I'm sure they won't shake their heads yes for everything. One guy on council is good he asks questions and checks things out. Spread the word around for these people wanting to change things.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone see how this looks to the general public , town borough leaders being sued , over the top spending for out siders, in a poverty town , with a manager with no experence , IT IS THE CIRCUS OF THE LEADERS of a town where a council member doesn't pay his own taxes or liens ? Attention govener Wolf Look at the real Columbia.
DeleteThe manager should live here.
