Demolition on the ol' McGinness household began Thursday.

By Friday, that was gone too, leaving just an ol' hole in the ground.

Santa's still hanging around . . .

. . . so is this Christmas train filled with gifts.

Never mind that stupid groundhog. Robins are the true harbingers of spring. A flock of about 20 of them invaded the 500 block of Chestnut Street on Saturday, and voila - today is about 25 degrees warmer.







Here's further proof spring is on the way - a bud about to bloom.

To be fair, this was removed recently.

It was said at a recent council meeting that Columbia is an open trash can.
Here's proof.^^^^

This house on Locust Street burned almost a year ago under suspicious circumstances, and not much has been done about it.
Columbia Spy reported on the fire HERE.

This is posted on the front door.

Coming February 14

There's a new tattoo shop coming to town at 447 Cherry Street.

Grandpa was in the window, as well as the images below.



This appears to be part of the structural formula for psilocybin.
Only Walter White would know for sure.
