Still there . . .

and believed to be part of this quartet, possibly known as the"The East Side Udders."

This could be posted at many places around town.

On the 500 block of Avenue H: soon to be demolished?

The planning commission and zoning hearing board recently approved the conversion of this building, the former Catholic War Vets, into a two-unit apartment building. There's no parking available on the property, and no setback on the Avenue H side. There's no exterior trash receptacle or dumpster. Trash will be stored in a compartment inside the building. There's also no exterior stairs. A plastic ladder will be stored onsite to be used to escape from the second floor, in case of fire.
What could possibly go wrong? 

The Betsy Ross Flag

The United States Flag and the flag of the Cult of Trump. The gray background could be smoke resulting from Trump inflaming the country.

Oh well, at least we have the flag of the United States of Watermelon.

Time for a good weeding on South 9th.

Sunflowers off to a good start

Fresh paint on the high school hill, undoubtedly dry by now

A mini hornet's nest, or what's left of a bigger one?
(It's about an inch and a half in diameter.)

Shades of Steven Spielberg, those clouds are absolutely ominous.

Air Force plane flying over

Yes, protect the vulnerable.

The Chestnut Street Turkey Hill store is temporarily closed due to an employee testing positive for the COVID-19, according to wgal.com.

This is the responsible thing to do. Congratulations, Lisa, as well as the other 2020 Columbia High School grads!
