Students from Park Elementary walked down Locust Street as part of an evacuation drill on Thursday morning.

Patriot Towing was on the ramp helping to remove steels beams from a boat on Saturday morning.

This car is actual size.

Two informational plaques like this one were recently removed without explanation: one at South 2nd & Locust, and one at South 5th & Avenue N. Two at Columbia River Park, one at Rotary Park, and one at Columbia High School still remain.

(Actually, the one shown here, which is at Rotary Park, should be removed, since it's virtually unreadable. The others appear to be in good shape. )

At long last, the 300 block of Avenue G has been cleaned up and weeded.

No dogs are allowed in Locust Street Park.

But who will enforce the rule?

A steamy get-together

Well-meaning donors have been leaving items besides clothing and shoes at this collection bin at 4th & Chestnut. Let's hope they don't start leaving old furniture and trash, as happened at the bin that used to be at North 6th & Poplar. That bin had to be removed as a result.
