What I saw this weekend

 And the point is . . . ?

 Unattached wing in Avenue H - Maybe the "Team" was at work. 

Fortunately, they didn't get this one, a red-bellied woodpecker that's been hanging around the neighborhood.

Break-in at computer shop


On April 2, a break-in occurred at Columbia Discount Computers, 23 North Fourth Street. The perpetrator gained access by prying locks on a reinforced steel door on the rear entrance near Avenue H. A small amount of money was taken.
The owner is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information on this incident should call Jesse at 342-2379.

In Columbia, the "last chance home" helped many, now needs help

Veterans Memorial Bridge to return to its 1930s look

New cast iron lanterns, reminiscent of the ones that graced the bridge decades ago, will be installed on the piers along the span on the Lincoln Highway in the coming weeks.


The Veterans Memorial Bridge, which spans the Susquehanna River between Wrightsville and Columbia, will return to its 1930s look this year.

Here yesterday, gone today?


A quick check at Laurel Hill Cemetery on Friday night showed that some graves retained their items while others didn't. It's possible that some items were replaced today in anticipation of this story breaking. (See preceding post.)
Previously, there was a sign at the entrance to the cemetery grounds, which stated that items left after a certain length of time will be removed. As of today, that sign was missing.
The cemetery's website contains a tab to download regulations, which directs the user to a page with a "Not Found" notice.
