More signs from Wrightsville. PPL doesn't appreciate signs like this on their poles, especially ones attached with staples and nails.  

It's a good thing ET doesn't rely on poles like this to phone home, even though his sticker is attached.

Many utility poles were installed around town over the past week.

Rumor has it that Bigler's weight-lifting gym on Franklin is closing.

Remember when postal carriers wore uniforms?

There's a familiar plate.

We are all just prisoners of our own device.

Aftermath of a water main break at 3rd & Poplar

Emergency personnel responded to several incidents this past week, including this one along Route 441 in which a bicyclist was found on the road.

On Saturday, there was a two-vehicle accident at 5th & Walnut, in which several people were injured. One of the cars had a Colorado plate.
