Security guard at the bank

Columbia Spy received this recent photo of a security guard at the East Prospect Susquehanna Bank. The bank was robbed by an armed gunman on April 24. East Prospect does not have its own police force, and the response time there for State Police is about 45 minutes.

Time for a trim?

The grass was high at Columbia River Park today, around and behind the new Trail Services Building and elsewhere on the grounds.




Police presence on Avenue J

A heavier police presence has been noted on Avenue J below South Second Street lately.  The fate of Avenue J was a topic of discussion at the last two Columbia Borough Council meetings which have occasionally turned contentious, as residents of South Second voiced their opinions.   Councillors Kelly Murphy and Jim Smith recently toured Avenue J to examine possibilities for its future. 




This photo shows the avenue being blocked temporarily this morning.
