Everyone loves Loreto's




Loreto's tomato sauce - from Columbia


New signs at Columbia Plaza

The Columbia Plaza construction project continues with the recent addition of signs at Musser's Market and the Tobacco Shop.

 Musser's got theirs.

But sorry, Dollar Store, you'll have to wait.

The Columbia Family Restaurant currently sports a vinyl banner and may not get a new sign, since they are moving to West Hempfield - near K-Mart.

Route 441 bypass construction - the next step

These photos show connecting elements that were recently installed between the support beams to add transverse strength and serve as a substrate for the deck of the overpass over Route 30.

A full-service garage - cars and horses fixed here

Jeff from Susquehanna Automotive holds the head of a concrete horse that was recently vandalized at its resting place at Fourth and Chestnut (next to the Turkey Hill Minit Market).

 Someone pushed the horse over between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., breaking off the head.

Jeff and Don, who operate the garage, plan to reconnect the head with dowel rods and a special adhesive.

 Susquehanna Automotive is located in the former Doutrich's Automotive building.


Susquehanna Automotive is one of the sponsors of the upcoming Thunder on the River car show on June 20.

And this is all that's left of a shocking experience

Shown above is the prime suspect and hapless victim in this morning's widespread power outage that originated at Sixth and Cherry Streets. This squirrel was instantaneously and simultaneously fried to a crisp and blown in half by a live wire it came in contact with, leaving behind part of a charred carcass.
Possible names for the crispy critter might be "Bernie" or "Charlie."
