The recent fall weather has given us a few nice days like this . . .

. . . and a few evening skies like these.

The bridge inspectors were back yet again. 

They must be really concerned. 

The mural at Lancaster Distilleries continues to take shape.

This is still there on South 4th.

There's probably a story behind this.

It's the Lynyrd Skynyrd van!

These guys abruptly showed up at Zion Hill Cemetery and just as abruptly left.

Half a logo . . . 

. . . is better than none. 

This biplane flew over this morning. It didn't display any numbers or insignia and didn't show up on radar.

Columbia Crossing needs repairs, possibly to the tune of $250,000.

A former councilman called the building "the gift that will keep on taking."

He was right.

More bridge inspectors 

They were on the Harcon boat.

Here it's going in circles.

Rose's Deli to close permanently at the end of November

 

Police arrest five after shots fired incident Friday afternoon

From witness reports and on-scene reporting:

Reportedly, an argument among several males led to shots being fired near 4th and Union Streets. (Witnesses reported hearing five or six shots.) Four males then ran into an apartment that police identified as 221 South 4th Street. Police from several departments, sheriffs, and a K9 unit responded to the scene, surrounded the building, and ordered the suspects to surrender. At about the same time, a female was taken into custody across the street. After about 30 minutes, the males left the building one-by-one over the course of 15 or 20 minutes, until all four were taken into custody.

Afterwards, police removed an infant from the building. The infant appeared to be unharmed.

Columbia Borough schools were reported to be on lockdown during the incident.

More details will be posted as they become available.
