About Town

Recent photos from around town...


Police checking things out at 3rd & Locust last Monday evening

 An alternative to Smucker

 Pinocchio's left foot?

 Four violations right off the bat: parking along a highway on a side designated NO PARKING, parking on a sidewalk, blocking a driveway, leaving gas cans unattended.

 Close-up of the above

Looks like birds will roost just about anywhere:
atop a pole...

 atop a finial...

 atop a sign.

 Every home should have one of these.

 The mayor said there's not a camera at 3rd & Perry, and yet ... there's a camera at 3rd & Perry.

 Accident at 4th & Chestnut last Friday afternoon

 This car . . .

 . . . and this car collided.

 This truck at 4th & Locust had been in an accident just a few minutes before the other one.

 Here's a car with a broken windshield sitting on 13th Street. A few days earlier it was sitting on the 1300 block of Manor. How was it moved?

 Rain-spotted flag

 Van sporting a picture of the bridge . . . down by the bridge.
Was the photo taken from the Wrightsville side - or from the Columbia side and then reversed? Either way, it still shows the old bridge lights.

What could go wrong?

 Tables are for glasses (and everyone knows the rest of that saying).

Trying to figure out what it is . . .
