It's a bird, it's a plane . . .

It's . . . um . . . a plane. A C-130 to be exact, like the ones that flew over on Sunday morning.

This plane circled the town twice today, as if in a holding pattern, at about 3 p.m.  One flew over at about the same time yesterday.

631 South 13th

Today . . .

Messin' with the monolith

Construction crews worked on the monolith at the Route 441 bypass project today . . . 






In these two shots, the ladder dangles as it is hoisted away with a crane . . . 


Take that, Winter!

Borough crews worked today to remove snow along Lancaster Avenue.  Let's hope that's the last of it.

A good day to work outside

Work continued today on the Columbia Plaza facelift after a long hiatus due to the recent claustrophobia-inducing winter weather.

Car on the tracks


Emergency personnel were called to the scene of a car stuck on the railroad tracks near the entrance to Columbia River Park shortly after 4 p.m. today. According to Columbia Borough Police, the driver erroneously drove the car up the runway between the sets of tracks after suffering a medical incident that caused him to veer off the road at the railroad crossing on Route 441. After the car traveled a short distance, the front passenger-side tire crossed one of the rails, snagging the vehicle. The driver was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The car was freed and removed by Midway Collision Shop.
