And here's a possible early sighting of Santa Claus.

Continuing the Christmas theme, the Turkey Hill cow (which was featured in last week's "About Town,") got a scarf in preparation for colder weather.

The Washington Boro skeleton, wearing a pilgrim's hat, indicates that to get to Christmas, you first have to go through Thanksgiving. 

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

Not everyone believes in this.

It's really about women's rights.

How many Christians really follow these?

Anyway,   JESUS SAVES    BARON VON BRUNK

There's the Baron now - on Bridge Street. 

For several days, a contractor was working to line the storm drainpipe from Heritage Drive to the outfall along the river.

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

jgenvironmental is interested in buying the borough's old sewer plant near the railroad tracks, but Norfolk Southern is holding up the works - allegedly. 

Is that where the gold is kept?

This cat, whose name is reported to be "Yellow," hangs out in in Avenue F.

Apparently, the F stands for "felines," because these two were there, too.

The town clock, whose time is never right 

A harvest-themed wheelbarrow at Tollbooth Antiques 

Roses poking through along Chestnut Street 

This flag was standing among the commemorative bricks at the bridge plaza.

Someone left a cookbook at the River Park pavilion.

What could go wrong?

A character in Avenue F

Here's a plaque from one of the many contractors who have poured sidewalks in Columbia. Contractors used to install plaques such as this one, or imprint their name into the concrete. 

There might be bird seed for sale behind that window. 

Yes children, potato chips used to come in metal cans.

Fallen grate

No turn arounds are allowed in the private parking lot.

An old refrigerator/cooler for sodas, etc., complete with fake wood grain

The birdhouses were leaning a bit at Bootleg Antiques.

So, where is the driver's seat?

Farm equipment for sale at Tollbooth 

$400,000 for repairs!

On Monday afternoon, police from at least three different departments apprehended the driver of a truck on Route 30. The suspect was arrested just beyond the Columbia exit, after traveling across the Wrights Ferry Bridge from the direction of York County. He was then handcuffed and placed in a West Manchester Township police vehicle. At one point, six police vehicles were on the scene.

Columbia Borough and Springettsbury Township were also among the responding departments.

And last, but not least, here are two pics of this evening's sunset:
