Chicken . . . out!

A new vendor prepared chicken on a grill across from Locust Street Park on Saturday. According to a sign at the site, chicken will be available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening.


Blasting the bricks


A worker water-blasted the the bricks this week at the newly constructed building at the Columbia Water Company.

Reflectors reflecting

Reflectors were recently installed at the curbing along the railroad tracks at the bottom of Locust Street.

More vandalism at the gazebo

Columbia electrician Mike Niklaus repaired damage from vandalism at the Locust Street Park gazebo earlier this week.  As he was working, a group of teenagers taunted him as they climbed on playground equipment in the fenced-in area.  Reportedly, the vandal has been identified, thanks to surveillance cameras, and must make restitution for the damage.

OVERFLOW!

OH NO!
A tanker truck overflowed this evening while being filled from the hydrant near the Columbia Water Company.  The truck driver quickly shut the water off and got things under control.

What I saw recently
