Officials and others from Columbia Borough and PENNDOT "surveyed" various intersections in need of improvement around town. Reportedly, the design work will be free, but Columbia will need to find grant money to fund any projects.

Railroad workers were doing whatever it is that they do on the railroad, but they turned the entrance to River Park into a skull-rattling, teeth-chattering nuisance after they buried a rail under the asphalt.

The mayor recently inspected the site of last week's fire on South 4th Street.

Columbia Curiosities is going with a beach theme these days.

A few people at Columbia River Park helped a boater in distress near the shore. West Hempfield Township Police arrived an hour-and-half later and successfully avoided the problem. 

Raven Ridge was at Columbia Crossing the other day.
