About Town - December 10, 2023

 This week's photos of Columbia

(Click/tap on photos to see larger, sharper images.)


Santa D and his elves were down at the bridge plaza this past week.

They were collecting for Toys for Tots.

As of this past Friday, they collected 12,692 toys, plus over $36,000 in monetary donations, according to the 96.1 SOX Facebook page.

Way to go!

Here's a shot of a vine-covered tree at the Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens.

These people were at the former McGinness airfield on Thursday.

A little later, this sign appeared.
(Shouldn't it say PUBLIC PROPERTY, since we the people own it?)

And something else was added . . .

This construction fencing was placed in the field.

Here are a few fog photos at the Holy Trinity Cemetery on Saturday morning.

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas around town . . .

Newfangled hair-do

AJ's has left the building. Here's what's left of their sign.

King's Discount is moving into the building where AJ's used to be.

New in the Historic District: a red roof and hogwire
Council failed in its duty to enforce.

When you really, really, really like the flag

Almost done - the Habitat for Humanity project on South 5th

The boys are back in town, or at least back on the bridge.

This is another in a recent series of bridge inspections. PennDOT must really be concerned.

A new sign at Riverview Terrace on the 100 block of Locust

Another new sign

And another

This building on the 300 block of Walnut was once a bakery.

A colorful sunrise

And a few shots of the sunset . . .

Saturday in the park - River Park, that is . . .

A wedding party gathered for pics.

Congratulations!
