Fall sunsets are the best . . .

Someone didn't close the lid at River Park. 

*****************

The DAC got a new sign . . .

*****************

A harvest display 

These signs are available online. They're legal on certain vehicles under certain conditions. 

Christmas is coming.

Here are two of Butcher's creations made from spoons (above and below).

And right around the corner stands this clock, left from the days of the Global Time Wizard.

More signs of Christmas . . .

Sticker shock!

Detail of a grave marker at Mount Bethel 

Here's a Tesla Cybertruck in the wild.

There it is in its hideaway. Elon Musk claims these vehicles are bulletproof. If so, it's a good thing to have in Columbia, because...

...bullets were flying last Thursday when a man was struck by several from a shooter. There were no messages to residents via textmygov, although police later posted information online.

Police are investigating the shooting. 

Here's another photo of the truck fire that occurred about an hour and a half before the shooting. 

Still more signs of Christmas . . .

*****************

Here's a side of the Shannon Armory not often seen.

Closed on Thanksgiving & Chriotmao.

More railroad ties are being replaced . . .

Norfolk Southern still hasn't completed work on this crossing at the borough sheds.

Norfolk Southern also blocked Union Street this week for railroad work, as they did last week. Once again, there were no messages to residents from the borough via textmygov, so maybe it's time to cancel the service, especially since council claims it's trying to cut the budget. It costs taxpayers $5,000 a year.

Santa Claus is coming to town. This morning, workers were setting up for his arrival. From 6 a.m. on Monday, December 9, thru 6 p.m. on Friday, December 13, Santa D and his elves will be collecting donations for the Toys for Tots programs in Lancaster and York Counties. Donations will be accepted 24 hours a day on the Columbia side of the Route 462 Bridge.

Here are the vans carrying equipment for the project. 

Time for a new sign at a local business.
