Looking through

Hooray, the snow is almost gone!


Don't mess with this.

Because it operates these.

And it could lead to this.

Mr. 0.0 will be watching.

Here comes a train, approaching the intersection with Lawrence Street (according to Google Maps). Interesting that there are no barricades or warning lights at this intersection.
As this train approached, a truck with a flatbed trailer, and a car, crossed the tracks in front of it.

There is, however, a sign marking the railroad crossing.

Apparently, the location is marked with these metal plates. 

Well, at least we think we know what's in this railcar.

Looks like lumber's back.

It was reportedly hard to find at the height of the COVID crisis.

Out for a run

Align Pregnancy Services at 462 Chestnut has FREE diapers, wipes & formula.

But who decides who's who?

This is either a modern art sculpture or some sort of farm equipment.

Out with the old . . .

. . . in with the new

Stars and STRIPS!

A horny skull and one suffering from red-eye

But who's the green guest?

He's ridin' shotgun.

A favorite view of many 


On Sunday morning, water rescue training was happening at Columbia River Park, led by Todd Stahl of White Cap Water Rescue Training LLC:

Where is that torn flag think it is about time they take it down did the girls win there game so sad to see the visitors center go

The torn flag is at Glatfelter's. The girls lost to Linden Hall 54-33. The Visitors Center has moved to Wrightsville; a local businessman is in the process of buying the building.
